In 2020, Bailey competed with Kida the Great as Bailey & Kida and got 3rd in Semi Final. They formed a duet just for the show. After a short interview the entered the audition hall and were surprised when they were auditioning directly in front of Jennifer Lopez, Derek Hough and Ne-Yo in this season, like all other participants, and faced the new scoreless system for the first two rounds with a possible callbacks. All three judges agreed there have huge potential and let them pass. In the duels they impressed with an isolated performance, which made the majority of the judges to vote for them instead of James & Harris, who are excellent contemporary dancers. And in the semi finals they got eliminated by MDC3, who won later the show and $1,000,000 USD and Oxygen as second with own 93 points average, according past scoring system. However, Bailey & Kida were the most popular act on the show and the laudation by the judges, including by Steven "Twitch" Boss, had famed their talent.

Quotes

By Bailey

"choices become actions, actions become habits, habits become character. 💎" ^[34] - The original quote is from China: Be careful of your thoughts! Thoughts become choices, choices become actions, actions become habits, habits become character. Be careful of your thoughts! You will become what you think! - Well Bailey, good thoughts until now. ;-)

Fun Facts

Bailey has a talent to twist her arms and hands against joint direction. She used it as a joke and show effect on the World of Dance "The Cut" performance with a nice cracking noise and Jennifer Lopez, Derek Hugh and Ne-Yo enjoyed the shocking effect. ^[35]
Her mother was the Miss Korea.^[36] Explains something :-).
Bailey is "super popular" by her friends right now; because her best friend Kaycee Rice is keen to go to Australien one day and meet a Kangaroo, Koala or something there, and Bailey already did. Her friend Sean Lew is keen to collaborate with Keone Madrid one day and Bailey already did etc.
In her free time she enjoys drawing, painting and baking.
