A New Actor Star - Choi Siwon



Super Junior is set to begin their follow-up activities this week as they have finally released their repackaged album, “A-Cha.” However, it has been announced that Siwon will not be able to participate in the follow-up activities due to his new drama “Poseidon,” which made its first broadcast on September 19th.

“Poseidon” is a maritime police drama, the first of its kind, that features Siwon as one of the leads. However, because of the last-minute shooting schedule for “Poseidon,” which overlaps Super Junior’s follow-up activities, Siwon will be unable to participate in “A-Cha”performances.

Super Junior is set to have their comeback on KBS Music Bank this week with “A-Cha.” Their last song “Mr. Simple” achieved 5 consecutive wins, the most this year, and “A-Cha” is expected to have similar results.

Will boy band idol-and-actor Choi Si-won score a ratings success this time around?

After starring in two not-so-successful dramas, he is taking a third stab with a series that has been mired in controversy.

“Poseidon” ― a coast guard TV series ― drew attention last year with a line-up featuring singer-turned-actor Eric and TVXQ idol U-Know and its oceanic backdrop.

Then, delays in production led Eric to abandon ship and rumors abounded that “Poseidon” was sinking.

Fortunately, a new cast was unveiled months later, with Super Junior member Choi Si-won on board and U-Know no longer in the lead but nevertheless slated to make a cameo appearance.

After playing the lead in the less-than-successful SBS rom-com “Oh! My Lady,” actor Choi took a supporting role in the “IRIS” spin-off, SBS’ “ATHENA: Goddess of War.”

Despite a star-studded cast, including veteran actors Cha Seung-won and Jung Woo-sung, the action blockbuster failed to maintain high ratings during its 20-episode run.

Undeterred by his not-so-hot track record, Choi is going for yet another action-heavy thriller.
