Im Siwan (임시완) is easily one of the top actors at the moment – but did you know that the 37-year-old actually made his debut in the entertainment industry as a singer? After a long hiatus from singing, the star will return to music later this year with his first solo album. Here’s what we know about the release:
This Marks Im Siwan’s Long-awaited Comeback To The Music Industry
This Is Im Siwan’s First Solo Release Since Debut
While in ZE:A, Im Siwan never released any solo projects despite being one of the group’s vocalists. This upcoming project will be his first solo release, effectively marking his solo debut. He has also expressed a strong commitment to his music career, saying in a recent interview, “I’ve never given up on being a singer.”
The Album Will Be Released Under An SM Entertainment Subsidiary
Surprisingly, this album will be released under SM Entertainment – more specifically, an SM Entertainment subsidiary. If you didn’t know, Im Siwan has been an independent artist since August 2025 after parting ways with his agency. H.O.T member and soloist Kangta reportedly influenced his decision to work with SM Entertainment for his music career.
The album is already at its final stage of production, so more details, including the release date, should be made available soon. In the meantime, check out the trailer for Im Siwan’s recent acting project, “The Mantis”:
