Biography
Im Si-wan is a South Korean singer and actor who built a dual career across K-pop and prestige television. Born Yim Woong-jae on December 1, 1988, he debuted as a member of boy group ZE:A and its sub-group ZE:A Five before transitioning to acting. His film and television breakthrough came with the legal thriller The Attorney (2013), followed by the workplace drama Misaeng: Incomplete Life (2014) and the romance series Run On (2020). International recognition arrived through his roles in the second and third seasons of Squid Game (2024–2025), the Netflix phenomenon that reached hundreds of millions globally. As a Sagittarius born in late 1988, he embodies the sign's restless creative drive. Actors typically balance live performance with recorded work; Si-wan's trajectory reflects that duality, having performed in concert settings as an idol and on set as a dramatic lead. South Korean entertainers often navigate multiple entertainment sectors simultaneously—music, film, and television—a model Si-wan exemplifies through his sustained presence across all three mediums.
