[Edaily Starin Choi Hee-jae Reporter] A crisis looms for Lee Jun-young of “Four Hands.”

In Episode 5 of tvN’s Saturday-Sunday drama “Four Hands,” set to air on the 12th, pianist Choi Jeong-yo (played by Lee Jun-young) is suddenly kidnapped in the midst of an international competition, sending shockwaves through the music world both at home and abroad. Photos released on the 12th offer a glimpse into the shocking incident that befell Choi Jeong-yo, a participant in the international competition. Dressed neatly in his concert attire, Choi Jeong-yo is sprinting not toward a concert hall, but through a deserted forest. His tense expression and frantic strides clearly convey his desperate attempt to escape this place at all costs.
However, her desperate escape is short-lived; as the kidnapper points a gun at her, the tension reaches its peak. Viewers are left wondering who could have kidnapped Choi Jeong-yo and for what reason, and whether she will be able to escape this perilous situation unscathed.
As a child, Choi Jeong-yo participated in a junior music competition only to witness her mother’s death from the audience. Following that tragedy, she spent her life caring for her father, who had fallen into alcoholism, setting aside her dream of becoming a pianist and her natural talent. However, at the age of seventeen, while visiting a concert hall for a music performance evaluation, Choi Jeong-yo heard Kang Bi-o play and was rekindled with her passion for the piano.
Later, while playing the piano alone in the venue’s green room, Choi Jeong-yo caught the attention of violist Hong Jae-in (played by Jang Gyu-ri) and was asked to accompany her. Her talent was then recognized by Yoon Seon-ju (played by Seo Jae-hee), the chairwoman of the Korea National High School of the Arts, leading to her transfer to the school. There, Choi Jeong-yo reunited with Kang Biao and, with his help, made a successful debut as a pianist, gaining attention as a rising star.
While Choi Jeong-yo’s rapid rise—from a newcomer following in Kang Biao’s footsteps to a fierce rival competing head-to-head with him—is drawing significant attention, curiosity is mounting as an unexpected incident looms for Choi Jeong-yo, who is set to compete in an international competition alongside Kang Biao.
“Four Hands” is a drama depicting the friendship, love, competition, and growth of young people who meet at an arts high school filled exclusively with musical prodigies. It airs on the 12th at 9:10 p.m.
