Lee Sang-jun, the South Korean actor with Double H TNE who plays Han Rim in Four Hands, Two Sonatas

Lee Sang-jun

BIOGRAPHY

Lee Sang-jun (이상준, born 3 March 1998) is a South Korean actor managed by Double H TNE, with thirteen screen credits going back to 2017. His name is also romanised Lee Sang-joon.

For this site the important one is Heesu in Class 2 (2반 이희수), the ten-episode Korean Boys’ Love series adapted from the manhwa, which ran on Heavenly from 28 March to 26 April 2025 and was made by filmK. He is billed second in the cast as Kim Seung-won, opposite Ahn Ji-ho in the title role. The story follows a boy who keeps his feelings for his best friend to himself until that friend falls for someone else.

The rest of the filmography is mainstream Korean television across nine years. He appeared in the anthology Drama Stage in 2017, the film Bully in 2018, and then in 2021 alone in Blue Birthday, School 2021, the film Love Spoiler and a single episode of Squid Game as a Pink Soldier. Later work includes Cheer Up in 2022, the fifty-episode daily drama Beauty and Mr. Romantic and the fourteen-episode Connection in 2024, and The Legend of Kitchen Soldier in May 2026.

In August 2026 he played Yoon Han-rim across all twelve episodes of Four Hands, Two Sonatas (포핸즈), the tvN music drama made by Studio Dragon with Namoo Actors, about two young pianists from very different worlds who meet at an elite music high school. This site records it as a bromance rather than a BL.

BLGLFlix editorial view

He is usually introduced through the tvN music drama. The credit this site exists for is the other one. Heesu in Class 2 is a Korean Boys’ Love series, adapted from a manhwa, ten episodes, and he is billed second in it.

The full filmography illustrates something coverage of this genre keeps getting wrong. He has been working since 2017 and 2021 was a year with four credits in it, including a single episode of Squid Game as one of the masked guards. The BL sits in the middle of a normal Korean television career rather than at the edge of it, and the distinction matters, because English-language coverage tends to sort Korean actors into “BL actors” and “real actors” as though the two were different professions. On the evidence of this record they are the same profession, and he did a fifty-episode daily drama the year before the BL and a tvN music series the year after.

Four Hands, Two Sonatas is also worth a note for its release shape. TMDB records twelve episodes across 29 and 30 August 2026: a two-day drop rather than a weekly run, on tvN, from Studio Dragon. Korean broadcast drama has been experimenting with binge releases and this is one of them, which is not something a reader would guess from an episode count alone.

Finally, the classification. Four Hands, Two Sonatas is filed here as a bromance, not a BL, and it will not be quietly reclassified because the audience for this site would like it to be one. It is a music-school rivalry story about two pianists, TMDB tags it bromance, and if the series itself goes further than that the record here should change on the basis of the series rather than on the basis of hope. Heesu in Class 2 is his BL. The other is not.
