He rose to fame in the Philippines through the reality show Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Clash 2010, where he was first runner-up behind eventual winner James Reid. He was the host of his first show 3ow Powhz!, which aired on Studio 23 from 2010 to 2011.

Early life

[edit | edit source]

Bang is an only child born on 16 June 1991 in Seoul, South Korea, to Bang Du-cheol and Shin Myeong-ja, a former government official father and housewife mother, respectively.[4] In 2005, his parents separated. Bang's mother is a real estate broker, while his father drives a taxi.[5]

TV career

[edit | edit source]

In May 2010, Bang entered the Pinoy Big Brother house, along with ten other housemates. After 56 days, he earned enough votes to reach the Big Night, where he won as Second Big Placer by getting 18.70% of the votes.[6]

In August 2010, Bang appeared as a guest judge (now as a regular host) in the noontime variety show Showtime (now It's Showtime), and stayed on from August 16, 2010 until October 8, 2011.[7] He also hosted his own show 3ow Powhz on Studio 23, appeared in the comedy gag show Banana Split, and made guest appearances on Kim Atienza's program Matanglawin.[8] On the January 1, 2011 episode of Entertainment Live, Bang was named one of 2010's breakthrough artists. On 25 May 2011, he released an album entitled I Lilly Lilly Like It: Ryan Bang Party Party Hits!.[9]

Personal life

Tax evasion

[edit | edit source]

In January 2013, the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) filed a tax evasion complaint with the Department of Justice (DOJ) against Bang for failure to pay his taxes in 2010 and 2011. The BIR sued him for a tax liability of ₱1.82 million, including surcharges and interests.[12] In February 2013, Bang stated that he would like to appear at the BIR to apologize for the incident. He said that he was still a high school student in 2010, and thus unaware of his responsibility to the Philippine government.[13]

Engagement

On June 29, 2024, Bang announced his engagement to non-showbiz, Paula Huyong.[14]
