Biography

Ryu was born on 22 April 1993 in Gwangju, South Korea.[1] She has an identical twin sister, Ryu Hwa-young, who is a former member of the girl group T-ara. Hyoyoung is the older of the two.

Ryu was scouted after she and her sister made an appearance on SBS' variety show Star King by Core Contents Media. Ryu and her sister were both originally slated to debut in T-ara, however, Ryu was cut from the group's line-up before their debut. A year later, she debuted with Coed School.

In that same year, Ryu was cast in KBS' teen drama Jungle Fish 2.[2] She also took part in the 80th Miss Chunhyang pageant and subsequently won it.

In 2011, Ryu joined Coed School's female unit, F-ve Dolls. The unit made their debut on February 17. The unit later became an independent group after her agency decided not to reform Coed School.

In October 2012, Ryu was cast in KBS' teen drama School 2013.[4] She next starred in weekend drama 12 Years Promise,[5] and the 100-episode daily drama Family Secret.[6]

On March 10, 2015 MBK Entertainment confirmed that F-ve Dolls had decided to disband.[7] In August 2015, following F-ve Dolls' disbandment, it was reported that Ryu had requested to terminate her contract with MBK Entertainment.[8]

Personal life

Bullying controversy

In 2017, a former T-ara staff member stated that Ryu and her sister were the bullies in the scandal that plagued T-ara in 2012.[16][17][18][19] The reports featured a picture of an alleged text conversation between Ryu and Areum, T-ara's member at the time, in which Ryu threatened Areum with comments such as "I'll scratch up your face so you can't be on TV" and "Stupid bitch. Show up in front of me, we'll see what happens."[20][21] Following this, viewers demanded that Ryu step down from her TV series Golden Pouch.[22]
