Early life and education
Bang was born in Burnaby, British Columbia [1] [2] to Korean immigrant parents. [3] Her sister, Diana Bang, is also an actress and writer. [3] Bang attended Burnaby North Secondary School [4] and was in the chorus in a school production of Bye Bye Birdie . [5] [6]
Bang graduated in 2012 with a degree in psychology from University of British Columbia, while also taking acting lessons. [3] [7] In 2017, she told the Vancouver Sun :
For the longest time, I kept my interest in acting a secret. Minus a select few, no one really knew. I played around with so many different non-acting career paths. Finally, one day I said 'screw it.' I got an agent and a job that allowed me to audition—and the rest is history. [5]
Bang's parents, who had immigrated from Korea, [6] initially found it "distressing" that Andrea and her sister, Diana Bang, had chosen to pursue acting as a career, but have since become fully supportive. [3]
