Personal life

Bang is an only child, was born on 16 June 1991 to a government official father and housewife mother.[4]

Tax evasion

In January 2013, the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) filed a tax evasion complaint with the Department of Justice (DOJ) against Bang for failure to pay his taxes in 2010 and 2011. The BIR sued him for a tax liability amounting to ₱1.82 million, including surcharges and interests.[5] In February 2013, Bang stated that he would like to make a personal appearance at the BIR to apologize for the incident. He was eager to resolve the case, and reasoned that he was still a high school student in 2010, and thus unaware of his responsibility to the Philippine government, in light of his income from the entertainment sector.[6]

Career

In May 2010, Ryan Bang entered the Pinoy Big Brother house, along with ten other international housemates, after a Filipino friend encouraged him to join the reality show. After 56 days, he garnered enough votes to reach the Big Night, where he won as Second Big Placer by getting 18.70% of the entire votes.[7]

In August 2010, Bang appeared as one of the guest judges in the comedy variety show Showtime, and stayed on from 16 August 2010 until 8 October 2011.[8] He also formerly hosted his own show 3ow Powhz on Studio 23, also appeared in the comedy gag show Banana Split, and made guest apperaances on Kim Atienza's program Matanglawin.[9] On the 1 January 2011 episode of showbiz talk show Entertainment Live, Bang was named one of 2010's breakthrough artists.
