Speaking of Athena, now it’s Choi Siwon‘s turn for some of the attention. He’s pictured in these stills on location in Japan, where his appearance attracted quite a bit of bystander interest. No doubt some (most?) of that stems from his idol star status as one of the many pretty boys of Super Junior. And yes, he’s lookin’ sharp.
In this scene, his spy character is sent to settle a suspicious occurrence in Japan. What ensues is a high-action sequence involving a dangerous chase in the crowded streets, hampered by the throngs of citizens nearby.
Choi plays a rookie spy with the NTS who looks up to the agency’s top spy (Jung Woo-sung) as a mentor figure and follows his lead loyally. Athena airs in December.

Gosh, I can’t wait for ATHENA! This is going to be one awesome drama!
me too!!! can’t wait for it… and yessss siwon looks really good as a spy^^
Yeah…it’s about time!!!!
Siwon!
*Claims his dimples* ^^
yes!!! si won !! athena !!! great! cant wait!
Siwon!!! I know I fangirl a lot about the Suju boys, but it doesn’t matter because even if he is an idol star he’s soo incredibly awesome as an actor!! Plus those dimples, oh gawd! Shisus handling a gun looks sooo soo awesomely hot!!^^
Oh yes, this improves my blue mood — if only I could have a Siwon on permanent loan for my own personal use, I’d never be blue again!
Thanks, JB, for being my crack dealer today.
Too bad Cabana Boy’s spot has been usurped by Pool Boy as the ICOMYM Club’s official Poster Boy.
Not that I mind at all… ancient dramaverse proverbs say giggling like a loon & squealing like pig are good for the health.
Love this comment!
LOL. Who is the pool boy?
Yoo Ah In. Pool Boy/Ninja Assassin extraordinaire.
Origin of the squeals heard round the world,
giving new meaning to the correlation between “hiccup” and “euphemism”
soo good looking!
I don’t know if I’m the only one, but doesn’t he look like he could be Takeshi Kaneshiro’s little brother???
nope you’re not the only one… the guy definitely look like him. and kangta, and zhoumi… they are like twins.
yes, they are really look alike.. both are so yummy!
Doesn’t that look like one of Miho’s 9 tails over his head? hee, hee.
It’ll be interesting to see how he does in ‘action’ work. It’ll be even more interesting to see how he fares along side some really strong veteran actors.
Oh, you made me burst out in laughter over that tail comment. (Could be because I love “My Girlfriend…” and Siwon.
Dang, he’s looking sharp. As always.
yeah i’ll watch this for siwon (suju fan here) but also cos i think he is a good actor
Me too!
Me too,,,,I really miss him in drama,,,
me 4!
me 5 then! LOL
Siwon…. so cute…. totally looking forward to Athena
ah… siwonnie.. love him. the guy is so perfect it’s scary. he’s like a freaking angel, it’s inhuman. at least, his image is like that.
anyways, did anyone see his new promotional picture where he is holding a gun and smiling… it still has the cheesy background color but it’s much better than the previous one i think.
si won is so hot!! makes me even more excited for athena…hehe
Odd but those pictures reminds me of Oguri Shun in Tokyo Dogs.
aww, i also think that way >w<
looking hot indeed! hope his acting in athena is just as hot – well, it should be possible since his acting in OML is really promising. If his acting proves to be really good, I will be totally done for
Can’t wait for Athena to air so I can see him on the screen again <3 <3 <3
WHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hurry up!!! I can’t wait to see this drama “Athena” that if it’d become so best to beat that 2009 drama “IRIS” down!!
Sorry, IRIS — SLAM DOWN!!!! Athena, FIGHTING! =)
Oh yea yea yea !!!!
WOOOT WOOOT!
Oh dear! Look of all the commotion he caused even when he was fully clothed. Imagine the mayhem if he revealed his six pack of death…….
I have a this nifty storyline for Athena: Send Choi Si Won to Japan, where he reckless of the danger to his fine self, braves the throng of
crazed,adoring females and uses his secret bare chested technique to reverse the negative population growth of Japan, single handed err.. chestedsooooo handsome.
SIWON!!!! i loved him in Oh my Lady.. and eagerly anticipating his acting in Athena..
He looks heavenly!!!! really wondering how anybody can be as perfect as him!!!
Good to know he’s getting more acting jobs. He’s got a daughter, a stepdaughter and a wife to feed. If I remember it right, his wife does work. i wonder if they will try for a son. His wife should maybe quit her job at a musical production company and manage his career instead.
I love this comment! I wish Min- woo was real too!
Okay, I had to do a double-take on this comment.
Yes, and let’s not limit them to one son. There are at least two feisty mini-Kae Hwa’s; there should be at least that many mini-Min Woo’s.
Hello Sobia!! Hey Kappy, I just found you after I posted further down regarding our Min Woo’s capabilities with wifey Kae Hwa!!
More! More! More of our Siwon… Can’t migrate just but add on to the Siwon OMLHood fangurling!!!
Athena fighting—what a Xmas gift for us!!!
Hey there Mel! It’s nice to see that even several months after OML ended, the Minwoo-love never dies…I hope that Siwon’s character in Athena is just as loveable…can’t wait for that show!
Sung Min-woo fighting!
Love this comment too!
I will always remember him as Min-woo. Really love the character.
Love this comment too!
I will always remember him as Sung Min-woo.
Really love the character.
Sorry for my double comments.
My mistake.
ke ke ke … i just went ha? before i realised his Min Woo role
I like this OML story extension! Yes mini Min-Woo wanted!!!
i was lost for a while there..haha OMLers are still alive!!
I am pretty sure the wifey is expecting…
No doubt wifey will abundantly reproduce with this hottie hubby!!!
SIWON!!!
Heechul is pregnant?
Aya I like you… Heechul… Pregnant with someone elses baby!!!
LMAO. HEECHUL ???
WAHHAHAHAHAAHHA XDDD
Wow !! those pretty japanese girls are well behaved, covering their mouth when smiling.
i think the girls are the part-timers – they are suppose to “act” as the citizens in the backdrop so they have to behave but they can’t help but giggle and smile cause siwon is right in front of them….lol
Yes, the one in the forefront is shyly laughing, “Fufufufu”…
Ah Siwon, the perfect guy.
Love, love, love him! Such a cutie!
I have a thing for men with their hair spiked up like that above… Siwon saranghae!!
Siwon….looking hot and dangerous….December can’t arrive soon enough for me.
I’m hearin’ that song…
“Secret agent man. Hey! They’re givin’ you a number, and takin’ away your name.”
Though the name ‘Siwon’ will always resound in my heart.
(Pardon the gooey, drippy mess)
I will die in his arms one day.
My bb is looking good… Athena!!! Can’t wait to see!
SIWON !!
i love u damn so much…
wish can get a bf lyke u !!
Is that pic after wrapping up SM Town Concert in LA? Heard and seen he got a tan while in LA. Lookin’ all refreshing. Ahhh~
I admire his fan girls for letting him have a private life. As soon as the shocking news of him marrying an older woman reverberated in the whole country (even world), his fan girls almost right away settled into a tacit understanding to let him have privacy. His fan girls recognized that he had chosen to have a family early in life and that this what what he needed. His talent in acting and singing would have been wasted if the fan girls and paps didn’t let him be.
He still gets followed about, and admired but from afar. I bet his fans (and myself) wonder if he does more than throw away the bin. Does he make his daughters breakfast at the weekend? How is he disguised when they go grocery shopping?
Does he now cut his own damn fruit? I bet not. That is too unKorean for a man.
He’ll have to book cruise tickets soon. They go quickly right before Christmas.
a_fan, I love you for this…
Hey Sobia! And I’m loving this sequel, too..
In time, he has gotten better about not burning breakfast, though still a far cry from wifey.
He has a slew of different disquise hats to choose from when grocery shopping.
And rather than cut his own fruit, he goes without.
Oh, who to watch the kids come cruise time? Perhaps Bok Nim will take off? Fun trips to the overnight sauna!
OML–Min Woo—SIWON fangirls… you think they’ll-he and KH will able to go on a cruise, UMMM!! she’ll be definitely pregnant or just had their baby, who could resist this hottie of a husband, baby production right on track… they’ll have to postpone the cruise enough so they can bring all the kids along with the nanny…
Athena fighting, SIWON!!
Swoon Choi Siwon with a shirt…
Shiwon is the real man in SUJU…
<3
Looking good there Mr. Choi.. ^^
He looks so flyyyyyyy!
I would just like to say a huge THANK YOU to Mr. & Mrs. Choi for having such a handsome son. I literally could stare at him for hours. I wish my fairy godmother could appear in front of me and grant my wish for this beautiful man to be MINE.
WOow I’m so excited to see this drama!!!!
Just because Siwonnie is in it
