==Trivia==
*Tae Young's hobbies include watching theater and practicing hapkido.
*Tae Young is left-handed.
*When equipped with her "Dark Arrival" skin, Tae Young's hair will stand still and clip through her shoulders in her select animation. On top of this, looking through the eyeholes on said skin reveals that she does not have facial animations.
*Unlike other operators, Tae Young's "Dance of Death" and "A Woman's Intuition" Highlight Intros do not feature her using her favorite weapon, the H4 Blixen. Instead, she uses an STG-44.
*Tae Young's "Hapkido" finishing move, once unlocked, became universal for every Vanguard operator in Warzone, despite being her exclusive finishing move in Vanguard. This was patched in the Season Four Reloaded update on July 27, 2022.
*A skin called "Loyal Samoyed" was originally going to be released during Season Four for Tae Young, but after artist Sail Lin accused Activision and its companies of stealing their art the skin was removed from Vanguard and Warzone.https://twitter.com/saillin5/status/1553053951209025536https://www.polygon.com/23284070/call-of-duty-warzone-season-4-loyal-samoyed-skin-raven-plagiarismhttps://twitter.com/charlieintel/status/1555608419750629377
