While attending Chin Chin Song Festival in Busan, Star Empire recruited him as a trainee.[9] He entered a nine-membered group called "Children of Empire", where he trained for three years. In 2009, they started in Mnet "Children of Empire" and "Children of Empire Returns", where they tour the country doing guerilla performances.[10] Later the group faced controversy in December following the similarities of the group's name to Brown Eyed Girls' Jea. The group later changed the pronunciation of the name to avoid implications.[11] On January 7, 2010, the group debuted with their EP, Nativity under the name ZE:A.[12]

Solo activities

In January 2012, Siwan joined the cast of the period drama Moon Embracing the Sun, playing the young version of Heo Yeom, a high-ranking official scholar and Crown Prince's tutor.[13][14][15] Later that year, Siwan was cast in the revenge drama Man from the Equator, playing a cold young man that has a sad story behind his negative outlook on life.[16][17] This was followed by the sitcom Standby, in which he appeared from the 87th episode onwards as a high school student.[18][19]

In 2013, he joined the cast of Waiting for Love alongside singer BoA; it aired as part of the anthology series Drama Special. Then Siwan appeared 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.[20] 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, and the second highest-grossing Korean film of 2013. Siwan won Best New Actor at the Max Movie Awards and the Marie Claire Film Festival, and received acting nominations from the Asian Film Awards, the Baeksang Arts Awards (where he also won the Fashionista Award), the Buil Film Awards, Grand Bell Awards and Blue Dragon Film Awards (He won Popularity Award).

Siwan 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, he reprised his role in Incomplete Life: Prequel as a former baduk player who learns to adapt to Korean corporate culture.[22]
