Lee Jung-hwan (Hangul: 이정환; Hanja: 李征桓; born March 20, 1992), better known by his stage name Sandeul (Hangul: 산들) is a South Korean singer. He is a member of South Korean boy group B1A4, that debuted on April 23, 2011. He debuted as a solo artist on October 4, 2016.
Sandeul was known to have competed in numerous singing contests prior to training and debut. Sandeul was approached by a company agent after performing a song by Kim Yeon-woo in a talent show. He then underwent a training period of two years.
After years of training, Sandeul joined as the main vocalist of B1A4. On April 11, 2011, WM Entertainment revealed Sandeul as the fourth member to be revealed after releasing the news of B1A4 along with Jinyoung, Baro and Gongchan's pictures. CNU was revealed the next day.
On April 20, 2011, B1A4 released their debut Track "OK" and mini album "Let's Fly", making their debut on April 23, 2011 on MBC Show! Music Core.
After their debut, B1A4 was invited to star in MTV's reality show Match Up with Block B. As one of the projects for the show, B1A4 filmed a music video for "Only Learnt The Bad Things (못된 것만 배워서)."
In May 2012, Sandeul made his musical debut in Brothers Were Brave, as Joo Bong. In addition, he, alongside some of B1A4 members, competed on Immortal Songs number of times. In December, on Kim Bum Ryong special, he (with Baro) took the trophy for the first time, performing "The Way to Live Like a Man".
In 2013, Lee continued competing on Immortal Songs. He took his second win on Yim Jae-beom special, dedicating his performance, "I'm a Candle before You", to his late aunt. In October, Lee was cast for the lead role in the musical The Thousandth Man.
