Early Life & Background
Hannah Chaemin Lacorte was born in the bustling district of Myeongdong in Seoul, South Korea. At the age of four, her family relocated to the Philippines, where she was raised and spent her formative years. She completed her elementary education in the Philippines, balancing a multicultural upbringing that blended her South Korean roots with Filipino culture. Her mother is also a notable creative, working as an AI cartoon story editor with a dedicated following of over 6,000 across social media platforms.
The K-Pop Journey
Gifted with early talent and ambition, Hannah entered the highly competitive world of K-pop training at a young age.
Starship Entertainment Trainee (2023): At just 12 years old, Hannah successfully became a trainee under Starship Entertainment, a prominent South Korean entertainment agency.
The Big 4 Auditions: She audited for the "Big 4" agencies (HYBE, SM, YG, and JYP) but faced intense competition and strict evaluation criteria.
KIIIKIII Debut Evaluation: Hannah came incredibly close to debuting with the 5th-generation K-pop girl group KIIIKIII (which debuted in 2025). Unfortunately, the rigorous and grueling nature of the evaluation process—combined with severe physical fatigue, dehydration, and stress—prevented her from making the final lineup. Following these events, her agency restructured her profile and contract, keeping her subsequent activities low-profile.
Current Activities & Modeling Career
Stepping away from the traditional idol trainee path, Hannah has successfully transitioned into the fashion industry. She currently serves as a promotional figure and model for the vintage clothing company Beyond Retro. Known for her distinct aesthetic, she is recognized for how perfectly her personal style and proportions align with the brand’s retro, curated vibes.
