Trivia[]
- Strictly speaking, Belle's actual date of birth is March 19 in US time because she was born in Seattle; however, her profile released after debut likely says her birthday is March 20 since it was already the 20th in South Korea at the time of her birth that's what is listed on her South Korean residence registration certificate and Korean passport due to a now-defunct Korean law that mandated that citizens born overseas have their births registered in Korean time rather than local time.[8][9][10]
