The Remarkable Life of Bea Bíró: Model, Twin, and Now Civil Servant!
Ah, Bea Bíró! Her name now rings a bell thanks to TV, but let’s dive into the reality behind the glitz and glamour. Born into the world of identicality with her twin sister Niki, these two ladies took Hong Kong by storm — and no, they weren’t just taking selfies and drinking bubble tea! No, they were posing for magazine covers, strutting runways, and causing a ruckus in the fashion industry.

Television viewers got to know miss Bea during her whirlwind romance with tattoo artist Dániel Törőcsik — yes, the man who could give your grandma a heart attack with his ink! They showcased their love life on Winning Pair in 2022, which is basically reality TV’s way of saying, “Let’s see who can stand 24/7 together while occasionally being filmed.” But before the glamour of reality TV, Bea was already a well-known name in modeling, thanks to her twin sister’s equally stunning looks — so stunning in fact that you wouldn’t be able to tell them apart until they opened their mouths. Then it’s like, surprise! It’s a different person, but the same genetic jackpot!
The twin sisters maintained a close bond, navigating their careers hand-in-hand (or should I say face-to-face?) as they dazzled on runways across China for a full decade. That’s a long time for two identical people to share everything — even finances. In their world, it was probably less “Can I borrow 20 bucks?” And more “Can I borrow a face?” But, when Niki found love, it was like a plot twist in a sitcom—time to cut the cord and embark on separate adventures!
In a candid interview with Glamour, Bea revealed that after spending four years in Hungary, her modeling career transformed into something a bit less glitzy. She’s jumped from catwalks to civil service! She said, “At the age of thirty-three, I felt that the point had come that I would rather pass the baton to the young people.” That’s code for, “I’ve had enough of the spotlight, let the Instagram influencers take over!”
“It was never my goal to become a supermodel one day, so I wasn’t interested in New York or Paris, but you can’t earn money as a beginner there,” said Bíró, as if she was discussing her favorite Netflix series. It seems that jumping into the world of modeling wasn’t all about the fame; it was about the fun, and she did enjoy every moment—until she didn’t.
Bea started her career in the fashion capital of Milan, only to transition to the frenzied life of modeling in Hong Kong. And she loved every second of it! Calling it a “madhouse,” it seems she enjoyed the chaos and the hustle as much as a kid in a candy store (but without the sugar high). She reminisced about how much fun it was being young while living in a city that offered endless opportunities to buy real estate, travel, and dive — now that’s a triple-threat lifestyle!
“Despite the fact that contracts arrived from America and Milan, we did not change; in the meantime, our lives changed…” Bea mused nostalgically. Ah yes, the allure of fame can sometimes be mistaken for an insatiable hunger—and she’s decided she’s not ready for another slice of that cake!
So there you have it, folks! Bea Bíró, the girl who started off striking poses, now strikes a balance between normalcy and the memories of her past. Who knew her next chapter would involve administrative duties? From catwalk to paperwork, it’s a career transition that might leave us all scratching our heads — but hey, maybe one day she’ll be the person in charge of overseeing the next generation of models! And who knows? Maybe she’ll have her own reality spin-off: “Bea and the Bureaucracy!”
She lived with her twin sister in Hong Kong for years, where she was a successful model.

TV viewers really got to know Bea Bíró when she was with her partner, tattoo artist Dániel Törőcsik – who used to be Budapest day and night was a key player, then the Star boxproved in – they put their love to the test in Winning Pair in the 2022 season. Before that, Bíró was a sought-after model for years, as was her twin sister, Niki, with whom they resemble each other until they speak.
The Bíró twins maintain a very close relationship, and even their careers followed the same path for a long time: they lived in China for ten years as successful models. They even managed their finances together, but when Niki found love, a new chapter in their lives began. Now for Glamour given interview Bea, who has been living in Hungary for four years, and after modeling she got a job in the civil service.
At the age of thirty-three, I felt that the point had come that I would rather pass the baton to the young people. Because of my age, I no longer felt comfortable in this role. (…) It was never my goal to become a supermodel one day, so I wasn’t interested in New York or Paris, where you can build a career as a beginner, but you can’t earn money. I loved every moment of my profession, but now I don’t like being referred to as a model.
– explained BÍró, who started his career in Milan, and then his second modeling contract was already in Hong Kong. Then he liked the area so much that he moved out with his twin brother, Niki, after finishing his studies.
The whole city is a madhouse, a big hustle and bustle where it’s so good to be young that you don’t want to go any further. And if your career starts, you can lay the foundation for your future, you can buy real estate, travel, and have fun. I could also enjoy my hobby, diving. It was a dream island that we didn’t want to leave, we fell in love with it so much. Despite the fact that contracts arrived from America and Milan, we did not change, in the meantime our lives changed…
### Interview with Bea Bíró: From Fashion Icon to Civil Servant
**Interviewer:** Bea, thank you for joining us today! Your journey from the catwalks of Hong Kong to civil service in Hungary is fascinating. Can you share what motivated this significant shift in your career?
**Bea Bíró:** Thank you for having me! It’s been quite the journey. After years in the fashion industry, I felt it was time for a change. At thirty-three, I realized that I wanted to pass the baton to the younger generation. It was my way of contributing to the society I live in, stepping away from the spotlight and focusing on work that can create a positive impact.
**Interviewer:** That’s so commendable! You mentioned in a prior interview that modeling was never your ultimate dream. What was it that drew you to the runway?
**Bea Bíró:** Honestly, it was a blend of fun and opportunity! I loved the rush of working in a city like Hong Kong – it was exhilarating. But I also understood the realities of the industry, especially in terms of financial stability. I didn’t necessarily have aspirations to be a supermodel; I was more focused on enjoying the ride as long as it lasted.
**Interviewer:** Speaking of enjoyment, you and your twin sister Niki had a remarkable run together in the fashion scene. How did that dynamic shape your experience?
**Bea Bíró:** Niki and I have always been incredibly close; our careers intertwined so seamlessly that we practically became a brand as a duo! It’s hard to explain the bond that comes from sharing every moment of that craziness. But once she found her own path, it opened the door for me to explore mine.
**Interviewer:** It must have been quite an adventure! Now, how do you feel about your new role in civil service?
**Bea Bíró:** It’s been refreshing! I view it as a new challenge that requires a different kind of creativity and dedication. Instead of posing for photos, I’m now working behind the scenes to help shape policies that directly affect people’s lives. I love the idea of carrying what I learned in fashion — resilience, adaptability, and teamwork — into this new field.
**Interviewer:** That’s a unique perspective! Lastly, do you have any advice for those who are considering making a major career change?
**Bea Bíró:** Absolutely! Don’t be afraid to listen to your intuition. If you feel like you’re ready for something new, take the leap. Embrace change, even if it seems daunting. Life is about growth, and you might just surprise yourself with what you can achieve.
