Yerin Ha on landing Sophie Baek and handling sudden attention
The Australian actor Yerin Ha says she found out she’d won the lead role two weeks after her Bridgerton audition, calling it one of the quickest turnarounds she’d experienced. She plays Sophie Baek, a maid with a mysterious past who falls for Benedict Bridgerton, played by Luke Thompson. Her Korean heritage inspired Sophie’s surname, which was changed from the original books.
Ha grew up and trained in Sydney and gained recognition for a previous role as Kwan Ha in the live-action Halo series. At 27 years old, she anticipates that this role will launch her into a new realm with a famously fervent fanbase. She describes trying to keep attention at bay and says fellow cast members have offered support — one peer has encouraged her to reach out for help or advice and has navigated fame with grace.
