He started out in theater

In 2014, he made his theater debut in the musical Grease, playing one of the T-birds. His performance was well-received by the public, and would later open doors for him to be able to act on the small screen.

His performance in Once Again won us over

In the 2020 drama Once Again, Lee Sang-yi played Yoon Jae-Seok, a dentist and the younger brother of Yoon Kyu-Jin (Lee Sang-Yeob). His pairing with Lee Cho-Hee stole the show and made thousands of hearts flutter. Since then, he became the talk of the town because of both his acting and his eye-catching looks.

His first lead role was in the drama Youth of May

A year after he made a buzz with his role in Once Again, he landed the second lead role in the drama Youth of May, a drama about the historic Gwangju Uprising. He played Lee Soo-chan, a young businessman who has always put his family first. Being the eldest in the family, he’s responsible and reliable.
