Bang Hyun-sung (Korean: 방현성; Hanja: 方縣成; born 16 June 1991),[1] professionally known as Ryan Bang, is a South Korean host, comedian, actor, singer, and vlogger based in the Philippines.[2] Bang is one of a few Korean expatriates to appear in Philippine television; other expatriates are Sandara Park, Sam Oh and Grace Lee. He rose to fame in the Philippines through the reality show Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Clash 2010, where he was first runner-up behind eventual winner James Reid. He was the host of his first show 3ow Powhz!, which aired on Studio 23 from 2010 to 2011. A former guest judge on the ABS-CBN variety show It's Showtime, Bang became one of the regular hosts since 2012. He is the main host of reality show Dream Maker.[3]

Early and personal life

[edit]

Bang is an only child born on 16 June 1991 in Seoul, South Korea, to Bang Du-cheol and Shin Myeong-ja, a former government official father and housewife mother, respectively.[4] In 2005, his parents separated. Bang's mother is a real estate broker, while his father drives a taxi.[5] Solomon is 6 feet inches (183 cm), and weighs 76 kg (167 lbs).

In February, 2024, Bang opened his Korean cuisine restaurant Paldo. On March 16, 2024, Mexican-themed Siesta Horchata Café, the first horchata-centric coffeehouse opened in Quezon City. It is co-owned by Bang and Paola Huyong.[6][7]

On June 29, 2024, Bang announced his engagement to Paula Huyong.[8]

Tax evasion

[edit]

In January 2013, the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) filed a tax evasion complaint with the Department of Justice (DOJ) against Bang for failure to pay his taxes in 2010 and 2011. The BIR sued him for a tax liability of ₱1.82 million, including surcharges and interests.[9] In February 2013, Bang stated that he would like to appear at the BIR to apologize for the incident. He said that he was still a high school student in 2010, and thus unaware of his responsibility to the Philippine government.[10]

TV career

[edit]

In May 2010, Bang entered the Pinoy Big Brother house, along with ten other housemates. After 56 days, he earned enough votes to reach the Big Night, where he won as Second Big Placer by getting 18.70% of the votes.[11]

In August 2010, Bang appeared as a guest judge in the comedy variety show Showtime, and stayed on from 16 August 2010 until 8 October 2011.[12] He also hosted his own show 3ow Powhz on Studio 23, appeared in the comedy gag show Banana Split, and made guest appearances on Kim Atienza's program Matanglawin.[13] On the 1 January 2011 episode of Entertainment Live, Bang was named one of 2010's breakthrough artists. On 25 May 2011, he released an album entitled I Lilly Lilly Like It: Ryan Bang Party Party Hits!.[14]
