Hello there!
I’m Yena Han (YEH-nuh Hahn or 한예나). I use she/her pronouns. I was born in South Korea, spent most of my life growing up in Seattle, and graduated from Rice University in Houston with a B.A. in Theatre and English. I’m currently working as an actor and hand model in Los Angeles with my partner, Arend, and my cat, Kimchi.
My background is in theatre, but I’ve been acting on camera for the past few years. As soon as the pandemic hit, I realized that live theatre wouldn’t be coming back for a long time, and I didn’t want audiences to put their health at risk for a show - whereas film sets picked up again fairly quickly and safely. So, I pivoted and decided to move to LA for onscreen opportunities in the sitcom and teen dramedy realm, and for editorial work in parts modeling.
When I’m not auditioning, you can catch me exploring the local food scene (I can never say no to cheese fries!), doing yoga, or streaming tarot readings and video games on Twitch. Feel free to stop by and say hi!
