Yoson An was born on June 27, 1992, in Chengdu, China. He was raised by his parents and went on to study at the Shanghai Theatre Academy. Even though he studied theatre, Yoson's parents had never encouraged him to pursue acting as a career, however, he still went ahead with his passion for acting.
After graduation, Yoson moved to Auckland, New Zealand, where he began his career as a model. He worked with various modeling agencies and would eventually get signed with Red11 Management. However, Yoson An was not content with just being a model, so he decided to pursue the dream of becoming an actor.
Yoson's debut performance in acting was in the critically acclaimed New Zealand Features film, "The Dead Lands," directed by Toa Fraser. The film was screened at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2014 and later made its way to the cinemas in New Zealand in 2015.
