Byun Yo-han (born April 29, 1986) is a South Korean actor celebrated for his depth, expressive eyes, and mastery across film, television, and even musical theater. Unlike many stars who debut in mainstream projects, he meticulously built his career on the foundation of the independent film scene.

Byun Yo-han is an alumnus of the prestigious Korea National University of Arts (KNUA), a training ground for many of Korea’s top actors. During his student years, he dedicated himself to the craft, appearing in over 30 short and independent films starting in 2011. This period gave him the experience to tackle nuanced, unconventional roles early in his career, such as his lead performance in the independent hit film Socialphobia (2015).
