The latest, electrifying inclusion to the Bridgerton family needs no introduction. Sophie Beckett has been cast, and one of our own will be taking up the gilded mantle. Korean-Australian Yerin Ha will be joining the antiquated Bridgerton family, playing in direct opposition against our wayward Benedict Bridgerton. While we wait for season 4 to debut (at a glacial pace, of that we know), we've put together a file of what to know about our very own Sophie Beckett.
Yerin Ha descends from a lineage of actors...
Acting has long been a commonality in Ha's upbringing. Her grandmother, Son Sook is a prominent Korean actress and politician, and her parents met in acting school. The Sydney-based actress has worked everywhere, but credits her acting knowledge and credit to her years studying at Kaywon High School of Arts in Seoul.
She is a Cancer sun...
Ha is 29 years of age, born on the 26th of June 1995. She belongs in the crabby camp of our beloved Cancerians, and already has a loyal following on her social media.

Ha also played Maurice alongside Mia Wasikowska and Eliza Scanlen in the 2019 Sydney Theatre Company production of Lord of the Flies at the Roslyn Packer Theatre, and is starring in the Dune prequel, Dune: Prophecy.
