Super Junior’s Siwon doesn’t worry about comparisons to Big Bang’s T.O.P for ‘Athena’

Super Junior’s Siwon, who has been cast for the ‘IRIS‘ spin-off, titled ‘Athena: Goddess of War’, confessed that he is not worried about being compared with Big Bang’s T.O.P’s acting in ‘IRIS’.

During the press conference for the upcoming drama held earlier on November 30th, Choi Siwon expressed,

“Jung Woo Sun hyungnim said he does not stress about comparisons. I believe in that too, and I don’t think the actors of ‘IRIS’ will worry either.

The ‘IRIS’ actors received love because of their individual colors and charms. As T.O.P had a great impact in ‘IRIS’, I hope that my devotion in my role will also please the viewers.

In saying that, I don’t mean that I will definitely have an impact. I’ve never hoped to have an impact even when I’m on stage singing. Instead of working hard in order to shine, I find that working hard in the work you are given and the job you have is more important.”

Choi Siwon’s role in ‘Athena’ is as a new agent that just got employed by the investigation agency NTS, and his character is named Kim Joon Ho.

The drama is scheduled to broadcast its pilot episode this coming December 13th, following the finale of drama, ‘Giant‘.
