Sujin Lee (born 1992) is a South Korean choreographer and dancer based in Hamburg, Germany. She began dancing with classical ballet at an early age before attending Gyeongbuk Arts High School in Daegu, where she received professional training in dance. She later earned a bachelor’s degree in Contemporary Dance and Ballet from the Music and Arts University (MUK) in Vienna, followed by a master’s degree in Performance Studies from the University of Hamburg.
In 2024, she premiered her first full-length choreographic work, Id: Your Girlfriends, supported by the Emerging Artist Grant of the Hamburg Ministry of Culture and Media and the Hamburgische Kulturstiftung. The work was subsequently invited to the Treibstoff Theater Festival 2025 in Basel and the WE Present Festival in Hamburg.
Her choreographic practice combines experimental movement, contemporary dance, ballet, Korean traditional dance, and elements of popular culture to create interdisciplinary performances that move fluidly across genres. Through choreography, she explores philosophical questions surrounding human existence, identity, and social structures, creating a distinctive artistic world through embodied research, emotional resonance, and her own subtle sense of humor.
As a dancer, she has appeared at venues including Kampnagel, the Hamburg State Opera, Seoul Art Center, HochX Theater in Munich, Theater Freiburg, Schwankhalle Bremen and MuTH in Vienna. She has performed in works by choreographers including Yolanda Morales, Georg Reichel, Simon Mayer, and Esther Balfe.
She is a 2025–26 scholarship recipient of stART.up, a development program for emerging artists supported by the Claussen Simon Foundation.
