Bii (Real name: Bi Shu Jin) is a Taiwanese singer. Bii was born and raised in South Korea. His father is Taiwanese and his mother is Korean; at the time of his birth, South Korean nationality law did not allow women married to foreigners to transmit their nationality to their children, so he only held Republic of China nationality.
