Bang Hyun Sung (Bang Hyun Sung, Hangul: 방현성), better known as Ryan Bang. Bang was born on the 20th of June, 1991.[1] He is a South Korean television host, television personality, actor, comedian, and singer who rose to fame in the Philippines when he joined the reality show Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Clash of 2010. His father is a taxi driver and his mother is a housewife. Bang is an only child. He placed as a second teen big placer on the show.

Career

In May 2010, Ryan Bang entered the Big Brother house along with ten other international housemates when his Filipino friend encouraged him to join. After 56 days, he garnered enough votes to reach the final episode, where he won the competition as the second Teen Big Winner by getting 18.70% of the entire votes.[3]

In May 2010, he entered De La Salle University in Manila with a bachelor's degree in Science in Business Management. Later on, he had to leave his studies, since they overlapped with his show, It's Showtime. Before entering De La Salle University, he finished his high school education at Reedley International School.

In August 2010, Bang became one of the judges in Showtime and stayed from August 16, 2010, until October 8, 2011.[4] He was eliminated on October 8, 2011, only to be saved by Hurado Dimples Romana, who self-evicted to allow Bang to stay. He is Showtime's longest staying judge with 48 weeks.

In addition to being the longest-serving judge at Showtime, Bang formerly hosted 30w POwhz on Studio 23 and stars in the comedy gag show Banana Split.

On December 5, 2010, he joined Kim Atienza in hosting the show Matanglawin.[5] In the January 1, 2011 episode of Entertainment Live, he was named as one of the biggest breakthrough artists of 2010. It was announced on May 24, 2011 that he released a new album entitled I Lilly Lilly Like It: Ryan Bang Party Party Hits!.[6]

In 2012, Bang was a guest on the afternoon drama Kung Ako'y Iiwan Mo. He has also had a guest appearance in the comedy sitcom Home Sweetie Home with co-stars John Lloyd Cruz and Toni Gonzaga in 2013. That same year, he hosted a comedy reality show called Eskwelahan Ni Ryan Bang, formerly aired on Studio 23 (now ABS-CBN Sports+Action). In 2014, Ryan hosted the comedy reality show Kaya Mo Bang: The Fudge Barr Adventures. The same year, Ryan appeared in the dysfunctional family drama Hawak Kamay.

In 2015, Bang starred in a fantasy series Wansapanataym Presents: Yamashita's Treasure with his co-stars Coco Martin & Julia Montes; the same year, Bang released a new single, "Shopping" with fellow Banana Split's Jayson Gainza, Sunshine Garcia, Aiko Climaco, Donnalyn Bartolome, Yam Concepcion as well to FHM babes Kristine Santamena and Mayumi Yokoyama. James Reid appeared at the end of the video which was shot in Resorts World Manila. Bang played a fraternity victim for the Lenten drama Brod: It's Showtime Lenten Drama Special 2016 in 2016.

Controversies

Tax evasion charge

In January 2013, the Bureau of Internal Revenue filed a tax evasion complaint with the Department of Justice against Ryan Bang for failure to pay his 2010 and 2011 taxes. The Bureau of Internal Revenue stated that it was suing him for a tax liability amounting to Php 1.82 million, including surcharges and interests.[7] In February 2013, Bang stated that he would like to make a personal appearance at the BIR in order to apologize for the incident. He was eager to resolve the case, and made the excuse that he was a high school student in 2010 and at that time he was unaware of his responsibility to the Philippine government in light of his earning income from the entertainment sector.[8]
