He was first introduced as a member of the K-pop boy group ZE:A in 2010 and later on started to establish his name as an actor. Now that he has won various awards under his belt for his admirable acting, how big does Im Siwan earn from his dramas?
Im Siwan's Acting Career Through the Years
Im Siwan made his drama debut with the phenomenal K-series "The Moon Embracing the Sun" in 2012 where he played the younger version of Heo Yeom. In the same year, the idol-actor appeared in three more dramas such as "Man From the Equator," "Standby," and "Reply 1997."
Two years after, Im Siwan had his big break in tvN's "Misaeng: Incomplete Life," in which he made a promising performance that gained him recognition from the public. He was able to win major awards, namely Best New Actor, Jury Award, and Excellent Actor for Mini Series.
"Misaeng" gave Im Siwan the opportunity to showcase his potential as an outstanding actor. He also tried doing romance drama in 2017 with SNSD's YoonA in MBC's "The King in Love."
In 2019, the award-winning actor starred in the suspense series "Strangers From Hell" and warmed the viewers' hearts with his role in JTBC's "Run On" in 2020. This new year, Im Siwan is making his much-awaited return to primetime with MBC's action-comedy drama "Tracer." He also has two upcoming films, "Emergency Declaration" and "1947 Boston," which are expected to meet the viewers this 2022.
