    Siwon (Super Junior / Super Junior-M) Siwon

    Choi Siwon (born February 10, 1987), also credited as Siwon, is an actor, singer, dancer and a member of Korean boy band Super Junior. Choi's breakthrough performance was in the 2006 Hong Kong historical action drama film, A Battle of Wits, where he plays the young prince, Liang Shi.
    Choi continued his education after his debut with Super Junior in 2005. He graduated from Hyun Dae High School in February 2006 and later went on to attend Inha University. Always been fascinated with Chinese language and culture, his company arranged him to travel to Beijing, China in 2004 to learn about the country's language and history and stayed there for three months before his return to Korea to prepare for his debut in Super Junior a year later.
    Choi is also a drummer, having performed with his senior labelmates, TRAX in September 2006 on SBS's music show Popular Songs due to the fact that their drummer, Rose, had left the band. He is skilled in Taekwondo and became the youngest in Korea holding the fourth rank in the black belt.

    Pre-debut years

    Choi was raised in a strict, Protestant family from Seoul, South Korea who owns one of Korea's biggest supermarket chains. After Choi's talents were scouted in the Starlight Casting System in 2003, his parents initially disapproved him to pursue in an entertainment career. After consideration, his parents allowed Choi to sign under the talent agency SM Entertainment. Choi said that although his father agreed Choi to sign the contract, he would not give any help to his son. Choi later moved into dormitories with fellow trainees and he was trained in areas of singing, acting, and dancing. He made his first appearance in a music video of The Grace's Dana when she was still a solo singer in 2003. A year after, Choi made a brief appearance in the short drama, Precious Family.

    At the 2008 MTV Asia Awards, Super Junior won the award for Favorite Artist of Korea on August 2nd 2008 in Malaysia where Siwon accepted the award on behalf of the group. POPSEOUL! notes that Siwon’s English skills, although obviously rehearsed, sounded eloquent compared to the nonsensical verbal diarrhea from Rain’s multiple attempts at English.
