Early life

Ryu Won was born Joo Won in Haeundae, Busan. Ryu changed her name to Ryu Won, based on her mother's surname. She changed her name because there is another actor with the same name, Joo Won.[2] Ryu lived in Busan till she was in third grade of elementary school, then immigrated with her family to the United States.[3]
