Origins & Early Life

Ahn Ha-young (Korean: 안하영; born August 11, 1993), known mononymously as Ha Young, is a South Korean actress and model. She is best known for her role in the series The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call (2025) and Our Sticky Love (2026). Ahn was born on August 11, 1993, in Seoul, South Korea. She comes from a family of four generations of physicians. Her great-grandfather, Ahn Sang-ho, opened the first hospital in Seoul under Emperor Gojong's rule.

Career & Major Achievements

Her grandfather, Ahn Boo-ho, was a medical officer and professor who worked at Sorokdo National Hospital in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Her father and older sister are physicians as well. Ahn majored in Western painting at Ewha Womans University and went on to graduate school at the School of Visual Arts in New York in 2016 to prepare for her master's degree; she took a leave of absence after one year to pursue an acting career. After joining Bistus Entertainment and modelling for various brands, Ahn made her screen debut in the 2019 series Doctor Prisoner as Na Yi-hyeon, the protagonist's younger sister. In an August 7, 2026, appearance on Korean Broadcasting System's Problem Child in House, Ahn reportedly spoke "proudly" of her family's history in medicine and mentioned the achievements of her great-grandfather without naming him.

Enduring Legacy & Impact

Speculation began circulating online that her great-grandfather was Ahn Sang-ho, who has been described as a collaborator with Japanese imperial rule. He was a leader of a pro-Japanese Korean group and was used in the propaganda newspaper Maeil sinbo as an example of a Korean who had assimilated to become "indistinguishable from a Japanese person". Bistus Entertainment initially dismissed the speculation but later retracted the statement and apologized while acknowledging the familial tie. Ahn issued a personal apology, saying that she had "only partially known about her great-grandfather's life through stories told by her family". Ahn's grandfather, Ahn Boo-ho, was also delved into.
