Dearest gentle readers excellent news!
“Bridgerton” found its newest leading lady.
Sophie is the love interest ofBenedict, who was previously announced as Season 4’s leading man.
Naturally, everyone is very, very excited.
So, who is Ha?
The Australian-Korean actor is fairly new to the scene.
“It was three years of intense training from 7am to 12am most days,” she toldVogue Australia.
“Just learning about teamwork and who I am and everything like that.”
She later studied at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) in Sydney, graduating in 2018.
Curious to know if you’ve seen Ha before?
Here’s why you might recognize this new member ofthe “Bridgerton” cast.
In the music video, she has a dance off in a boxing gym.
One by one, the dancers show off their skills in the boxing ring before dancing together.
Actor Toby Derrick, a 2017 graduate of the institute, also appears in the video with Ha.
Evidently, Ha is a talented dancer in addition to being a talent actor.
And that included Ha.
Ha read the book as soon as she was cast.
Ha played Kwan Ha, a fierce 16-year-old rebel from the planet Madrigal.
Thankfully for Ha, she was already fluent in the language.
For Ha, the role was a chance to play someone big, bold, and outspoken.
Ha starred in both seasons of “Halo,” which aired from 2022 to 2024.
Ha played Ah Rah, Yoon Sun’s daughter, in seven episodes of the show’s first season.
Yoon hires Amanda to find her missing husband, and Ah Rah’s missing father.
You might also recognize Ha for her first foray into the horror genre.
Tracey is one of the other girls at the party.
“As human beings, you want to feel like you belong, and be part of a group.
You want to have shared common language with someone and feel wanted,” Ha also told the publication.
“Especially with girls, I just feel like the stakes are heightened.”
“I really wanted to work with a female Asian Australian director.
That was a really big green tick for me,” she said of working with director Corrie Chen.
