Siwon was discovered by the "Starlight
Casting System" in 2003 and debuted as a member of Super Junior in 2005.
However, he was first officially seen in a music video for fellow label-mate
Dana when she was still a solo singer. He quickly emerged as one of the highly
visible members, seen on many variety shows, although he has not been of the
main vocalists.
Although his current focus is the group,
Siwon has also continued his acting career. Shortly after Super Junior's debut,
he joined the cast for the Korean dorama Spring Waltz. He has also been part of
the epic film Battle of Wits with Hong Kong actor Andy Lau. Battle of Wits was
a big budget film with joint collaboration from South Korea, China, and Japan,
and was released in China and Hong Kong on November 23, 2006. Siwon promoted
the movie in China with a short tour of four cities at the end of November
2006.
Siwon is also a drummer, having performed
with the band TRAX in September 2006 on SBS's music show Inkigayo due to the
fact that their drummer had left the band. Both TRAX and Super Junior are part
of SM Entertainment.
He won in 2007 the "Best Super Model
Of the Year" and the "Sexiest Guy in Korea" awards. Due to this
winnings, his popularity considerably rose up.
