Actor Im Si-wan, a member of the group Empire’s Children, mentioned member Kwang-hee as the person who inspired him, who used to be a ‘dormitory keeper’.
In tvN’s ‘You Quiz on the Block’, which aired on the 15th, as a special feature of ‘Emergency’, Im Si-wan appeared as a guest. On this day, Im Si-wan, who was 23 years old when he debuted as Children of Empire, said, “His trainee life itself started when he was 21 years old.”
Im Si-wan, who was in charge of class president and former church president in elementary school, suddenly had a dream of becoming a singer in college. He said, “Even right before entering university, adults always told me, ‘If you go to university, you can do whatever you want and have fun.’ I believed that right away and thought that I would work hard only until high school.”
“After that, when I entered university, they made me study Physics 2 and Mathematics 2 once more, which I had given up on,” he said. There was a song festival at the moment when the late wind blew, so I went out, but when I came down, they gave me a business card. He said he would go without regret.”
At the beginning of such activities, Siwando belonged to a member who did not see the big light among the members. In response to Yoo Jae-seok’s question, “Looking back on that time, how is it?” When Kwanghee or Dongjuni left their schedules, they were only at the dorm. At that time, while guarding the quarters, he said, ‘Is it true that I am here?’ I was worried regarding this,” he said.
Im Si-wan said, “Because jealousy is unnecessary, I had to learn how to focus on myself to get rid of it. He said, “There was a part where Kwang-hee was stimulated. There are times when small auditions come in randomly, and they told me to prepare for those things.”
Then, “Kwang-hee said, ‘Can you play the violin? If it were me, I would play the violin no matter what audition I went to.” So there was a time when I went to an acting audition out of the blue and played the violin.” Since then, Im Si-wan, who constantly challenged auditions, was selected for the role of Heo Yeom in the MBC drama ‘The Moon Embracing the Sun’, and was able to make his face known as an actor.
