Yuan Bo Chao, born on February 17, 1997, in Taipei, Taiwan, is a Chinese model of Asian ethnicity who has made waves in the global fashion scene. Born in Taiwan, but growing up in China, she exhibited a natural flair for performance and aesthetics from a young age, though details about her formal education remain sparse—rumors suggest she attended local schools with a focus on arts before diving into modeling. Discovered at the age of 16, she won the Long Teng Supermodel Contest in 2013, which catapulted her into the industry and earned her nicknames like “The Red-Haired Rebel” and “China’s Punk Princess” due to her bold style and fiery personality. Her entry into modeling was swift; signed immediately after the contest, she transitioned from an everyday teenager to an international sensation, blending her Taiwanese roots with a distinctly edgy vibe that set her apart in a competitive field.

She is part of the “Golden Army” of Chinese supermodels that dominated the runway from 2010 to the present with Fei Fei Sun, Sui He, Ming Xi, Xiao Wen Ju, Yilan Hua, Shu Pei, He Cong, Jing Wen, Xin Xie, and Chu Wong.
