Han Ye Seul is among one of the more well-known Kyopos (Korean term for people of Korean descent who reside permanently outside of the Korean Peninsula). She attended the same elementary school in Orange County as Shinhwa member Andy, and eventually starred in the sitcom ‘Nonstop 4′ after she made her debut in Korean showbiz. Han Ye Seul was famous in school for her pretty looks while Andy was known for being smart and adorable. Andy once talked about this, “Although we were from the same school, I don’t remember anything about her. I was surprised to find out that she could still remember me. I feel bad about it.”
