What has Yerin Ha said about joining Bridgerton?
Playing Sophie from the fourth book, An Offer From A Gentleman, Yerin contributed to the slight name change in her character. Going from Sophie Beckett to Baek to honour her heritage.
Speaking about her role she said: "There’s this theme with masks that was running throughout all of my audition scenes. When does Sophie put on this mask to cover her emotions? Or vice versa, when does she take it off and when does she soften up? Playing with those [questions] is just really fun.
"A name is the first bit of identity that you share with the world, and that’s why changing a name can be so powerful.
"To make Sophie’s name fit someone who looks like me is really empowering. All credit to Jess Brownell, our showrunner."
