Pharinyakorn Khansawa

Pharinyakorn Khansawa (Thai: ปริญญากรณ์ ขันสวะ; also romanized Prarinyakorn Kansawa; born June 18, 2000) is a Thai actor and singer professionally known as Yim. He is signed to Domundi TV and forms the on-screen pairing TutorYim with fellow Domundi actor Koraphat Lamnoi, with whom he has co-starred in multiple BL dramas since 2022.

Yim was born in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and grew up in neighboring Lamphun Province. He began his studies in electrical engineering at Lanna Polytechnic College in Chiang Mai before transferring to Bangkok University’s Faculty of Communication Arts, where he earned his bachelor’s degree.

Before entering the entertainment industry, Yim competed in the “To Be Number One Idol” talent competition in 2017 and 2018, representing northern Thailand. He signed with Domundi TV and made his acting debut in 2022 as Syn Sinsamoe in Cutie Pie, the role that first paired him on screen with Koraphat Lamnoi.

Yim reprised the character Jade Jetaniphat across Bed Friend (2023) and The Middleman’s Love (2023), and also appeared in Naughty Babe (2023) and Our Winter (2023) alongside Tutor. He played Ob-un in Battle of the Writers (2024) and Thi in Zomvivor (2025) for Netflix. In 2026, he returned opposite Tutor in ChermChey as Akara (“Eung”), their fourth on-screen pairing, following Cutie Pie, The Middleman’s Love, and Bed Friend.

The broadcast side of those years is easy to follow. Cutie Pie (2022) was carried by Workpoint TV and iQIYI, and the 2023 titles Bed Friend and Naughty Babe went out on One 31 and iQIYI, with Jade in Bed Friend counted as a main role and Syn’s return in Naughty Babe as a supporting one. Battle of the Writers in 2024 belonged to iQIYI. The year 2026 widened the list further: he took the role of Funan in Duang With You on One 31 and iQIYI, appeared as a guest in episode 8 of Workpoint TV’s Love Upon a Time as High Lord Boribanpracha, and played Dolly in the One 31 series The D Dorm Sitcom.

In 2025, Yim became a member of DEXX, a six-member Domundi boy group that debuted with the single “Clang Clang” on June 24, 2025. The lineup is James, Tutor, Yim, Auau, Por and TeeTee, and the group works in the T-pop field. He stands 177 cm (5’10”) tall and is active on social media under the handle @mynameis_yim across Instagram and X, with the same handle on TikTok. As of 2026, Yim continues to work as both an actor and a member of DEXX, remaining one half of the TutorYim on-screen pairing with Koraphat Lamnoi.
