Early life
Yim Si-wan was born on December 1, 1988,[3] in Busan, South Korea. He attended Busan Gudeok High School, Busan National University, University of East Broadcasting Arts, and is currently studying at Woosong Information College.[4][5] He legally changed his first name from Woong-jae to Si-wan before his debut.[6]
Career
ZE:A
While he was attending the Chin Chin Song Festival in Busan, Star Empire recruited him as a trainee.[7] He entered a nine-member group called "Children of Empire", where he trained for three years. In 2009, the group started doing guerrilla performances around the country.[8] On January 7, 2010, the group debuted with their EP, Nativity under the name ZE:A.[9] He is also a member of the sub-unit, ZE:A-Five.[10]
Acting
Yim joined the cast of the period drama Moon Embracing the Sun (2012), playing the young version of Heo Yeom.[11][12] Moon surpassed 40% ratings and gained "national drama" status, launching Yim to fame.[13] Later that year, Yim was cast in the revenge drama Man from the Equator, playing a cold young man with a sad story behind his negative outlook on life.[14] This was followed by the sitcom Standby (2012)[15] and Drama Special Waiting for Love (2013).[16]

In 2013, he starred in the courtroom drama film The Attorney, playing a young student activist detained and tortured by the police on accusations of being a communist sympathizer.[17] The film was a critical and commercial success, selling more than 11 million tickets to become the 8th best-selling Korean film of all time.[18] Yim won Best New Actor at the Max Movie Awards and the Marie Claire Film Festival.[19][20]
Yim returned to television in 2014 and starred in two drama series. In Triangle, he played the youngest of three brothers separated at childhood, who grew up in a cold chaebol household.[21] While in the webtoon adaptation and cable hit drama Misaeng: Incomplete Life, he reprised his role in Incomplete Life: Prequel as a former baduk player who learns to adapt to Korean corporate culture.[22] Misaeng: Incomplete Life was a commercial hit, recorded high viewership ratings with a peak of 8.4%; and was dubbed a "cultural phenomenon".[23] Im won the Excellence Award in acting at the 4th APAN Star Awards for his performance,[24] as well as Best New Actor awards at the 9th Cable TV Broadcasting Awards and the 51st Baeksang Arts Awards.[25][26]
Yim then took on his first big-screen leading role in the war drama film A Melody to Remember (2016), playing a good-hearted soldier who is hoping for a miracle even in a desperate situation.[27][28] He was also cast in the Chinese-South Korean web drama My Catman alongside Chae Soo-bin and Kim Myung-soo.[29]
In a departure from his usual "nice guy" roles, Yim plays a cunning conman in the crime caper movie One Line (2017).[30] He deviated even farther from his clean-cut image in The Merciless (2017), a crime action film where he played an undercover cop who works for a drug-smuggling ring. Yim was invited to the Cannes Film Festival for the first time.[31][32] The same year, Yim starred in the historical melodrama The King in Love, playing an ambitious crown prince.[33]
In 2019, Yim was cast in the thriller drama Hell Is Other People, based on the webtoon of the same name. This marks his first project after enlistment.[34][35] The same year, he was cast in the period sports film Boston 1947.[36] In 2020, he was also cast in the disaster film Emergency Declaration.[37]
In 2020, Yim starred in JTBC’s romance drama Run On, alongside Shin Se-kyung, Kang Tae-oh, and Choi Soo-young.[38]
In 2022, Yim starred in the thriller drama Tracer, which aired on Wavve and MBC simultaneously, and will appear in the ENA drama Summer Strike.[39]
In 2023, Yim held a fan concert called YIM Si wan 2023 'WHY I AM in SEOUL' on February 11th.[40]
Personal life
Military service
On July 11, 2017, he officially began his mandatory military service.[41][42][43] Yim was chosen to be an assistant instructor for new recruits due to his good performance.[44] Yim was discharged on March 27, 2019.[45]
Philanthropy
On March 4, 2022, Im donated ₩20 million to the Ukrainian Embassy in South Korea. To help Ukrainian victims of Russian invasion, he also booked a 4-bed dormitory in Kiiwu (Kyiv) for about a month, from March 7 to April 4 to help Ukrainian war victims.[46]
On August 10, 2022, Im donated ₩20 million to help those affected by the 2022 South Korean floods through the Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association.[47]
On February 8, 2023, Im donated ₩10 million to help 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake, by donating money through Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association.[48]
