Bae Na-ra
Bae Na-ra (배나라, born January 4, 1991) is a South Korean singer and actor under YY Entertainment. He built his foundation in musical theatre, debuting in 2013 with the musical PROMIS after graduating from Seoul Institute of the Arts. A decade of stage work followed spanning some of Korea's most demanding productions: Kinky Boots, West Side Story as Riff, Bonnie and Clyde as Clyde Barrow, and the psychological thriller Thrill Me as Richard Loeb.
The pivot to television drama arrived in 2023. A brief but memorable cameo in Netflix's D.P. 2 as Jang Sung-min opened the door, followed by a recurring role in Evilive the same year. The real breakthrough came with Weak Hero Class 2 (2025), where he played Na Baek-jin in the Disney Plus continuation of the acclaimed youth drama. He followed that with Tastefully Yours and Would You Marry Me, both airing in 2025, establishing him as a reliable presence across multiple streaming platforms.
His casting in The WONDERfools (2026) marks his first Netflix original series in a substantial role. Bae Na-ra brings a performer's discipline to screen work, and the combination of serious stage credentials with growing TV visibility puts him among the more interesting actors in the current Korean drama landscape.
