Suzy is a member of the rookie girl group MAJORS, who made their official debut just earlier this year on March 9, 2021. Born on June 3, 2001 as Kim Suji, the MAJORS member recently turned 20-years-old (American age.) And while she should be in the middle of relishing her debut and birthday celebrations, Suzy has become the center of massive scrutiny all because she shares the same stage name as one of South Korea’s biggest actresses, Bae Suzy.

Both of the Suzys share not only the same stage name, but also the same first birth name. Bae Suzy’s birth name is actually Bae Suji, which means both of these stars have two names in common. But due to Bae Suzy’s mega-star status and legacy as one of South Korea’s hottest “it” actresses, her fans were not thrilled when they heard about the rookie girl group member.
