Background

Bang was born in Burnaby to Korean immigrant parents. Her sister, Diana Bang, is also an actress and writer. In high school, she acted in a production of Bye Bye Birdie.
She received a degree in Psychology from University of British Columbia in 2012 while also taking acting lessons. 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."
