Star CAR Talk: Super Junior Choi Siwon "Audi R8 Spyder that reminds you of a lion"

BOCyHDOCUAASg-N.jpg large


There are car brands with charms that are hard to resist. You fall in love with their unique "feel" while driving. There is also a "big fan" of Audi, who is also into its charms. It is group Super Junior's member Choi Siwon.

We met Choi Siwon, Audi R8 Spyder's current Promotional Representative, last 5th and listened to his review after test riding it.

As soon as we met up, he said this about R8 Spyder "Audi brand, especially R8 Spyder.. This may be a strong expression but it's really a killer car."

Choi Siwon and Audi's relationship starts back from 2007. When Super Junior Choi Siwon just got a driving license after 2 years since debut, he was selected as PR for Audi TT, and have felt the audi's charm.

Then, Choi Siwon was like a normal guy, knowing just the names of his favorite cars, and looking up pictures online. But after being selected as PR for TT, his affection for cars became deeper, and he turned professional (towards cars). Because it was his first time driving a luxurious car.

Audi Korea back then selected Siwon as TT PR for his trendy and clean image.

Siwon fell in love with TT, and after finishing the PR's duties, he bought his first car, a white Audi TT. After riding it for 4 years, he sold it like a father sending his daughter to get married.

He said "When I used to drive with the TT's cover opened, a "shooo" sound was made, and it felt like a scene from a movie. I treasured the car, and even named it after a mustang named "Eleanor" that appeared on one of my favorite movies "Sixty Seconds"."

Six years after that, after Super Junior rose to become the leaders of Hallyu stars, Audi Korea once again selected Choi Siwon as a PR. Siwon's changing image with his acting career also fit well with R8 Spyder.

On days without public schedules, as a PR, Choi Siwon drives R8 Spyder that has been given to him for a year. On days without overseas schedules, he took Audi R8 Spyder on a drive.

He said "Even in my busy life, if I go on a drive with R8 Spyder, I feel like I have forgotten all the worries, and I become comfortable and happy. So I named it after an angel, "Gabriel"."

He chose the biggest charm as the transfer from R-Tronic to S-tronic, which reduced the dizziness, that gives trendy feels in the city, and turns into a hulk in sports mode.

Choi Siwon said "Model before this made loud sound, and I felt sorry to drive in the city. Especially when the car gets stuck in the stop light, when I changed the gear to start again, the sound made surrounding drivers surprised, and I felt sorry."

He said he's very satisfied that R8 Spyder has these problems fixed. He also liked the emergency lights that spread out from the center to the side.

What would R8 Spyder be if you compare it to an animal? Siwon chose a lion without hesitation.

He said "Normally, R8 Spyder is relaxed, and when it spots a prey, it's like a lion that runs very strongly. It's also like me, who fall deep into something when I concentrate on it." Considering R8 Spyder's "Zero back" (the time it takes to get to 100km/h from 0) is 4.8 seconds, maximum output 430 newton meters, and 43.9kgm maximum torque, you would nod to agree with him.

Unlike Choi Siwon, who is in love with Audi, his father is into Hyundai (005380) cars.

He said "(My father) is like an average father, and prefers Hyundai's Equus. When my sister starts driving, I want to give her Audi S4 as a gift."

Choi Siwon chose fund managers as a job that would fit R8 Spyder. He added aegyo and explained that driving R8 Spyder would relieve tremendous amount of stress.

Siwon doesn't drive out too far due to his busy schedules, and often drive to Songdo, Incheon International City.

He said "After schedules are finished, I take a break, and often come to Songdo. I can drive as much as I want on the highway, and Songdo's night view is worth looking at, so I am recommending Songdo as a driving course."

"In the later part of this year, I think I will be able to record a movie in China, and record one in USA next year. I am reading scenarios, and contacting people. I will become busier with the spread of areas, but I will continue to be with R8 Spyder in my busy life."

He was also invited by Audi to attend "Les 24h du Mans" on june 22nd and 23rd.








With the CEO of Audi (in the middle)








There are several fanaccounts of his arrival in Paris, his short trip to London to visit a cousin, then in Le Mans, and at the Charles De Gaulle airport going back to Seoul. He got caught in the traffic jam after first landing in Paris and missed his train for London, so the fans helped him to find a hotel for the night. Everyone says pretty much the same thing, he was super nice and cute, very handsome and spoke great english ^^

Super Junior's Siwon appears topless on 'Infinity Challenge'

Super Junior's Siwon made a surprise appearance on the latest 'Infinity Challenge'.
If that's not enough to get fans going, he did it topless. The June 29th episode was a 'Minority Report' special, and while the cast was looking for a hint for their mission, they came across the Super Junior members playing basketball.
Luckily for viewers, it was a hot day and Siwon had his shirt off. When the other Super Junior members noticed the cameras, they hurriedly put their clothes back on. However, Siwon was definitely not embarrassed to show off his amazing body, taking his time to put his shirt back on.
The 'Infinity Challenge' cast members commented, "Siwon was the last one to put on his clothes. Usually, the people with the best bodies do it last."




A couple of adorable tweets

Urgh this guy has been so good looking lately :(
I really really love the picture of him and his niece. They don't look like niece and uncle tho. Siwon could almost easily pass as her dad tbh and they look so adorable together! Love how their outfits also matched each other lol

Why'd you think that. Has someone said something about it?

I've always wondered whether his dl for enlistment will be calculated by his official birth year or the actual one... Either way, that's still at least 2 more years to go.

some (long) time ago I saw a schedule, I don't know if it's official though

Hm... ELF like to put the "official" tag on just about everything. It makes them feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside. If you look at the schedule it's already off with Leeteuk and Yesung.

No-one knows for sure but I would be very very surprised if Sungmin (a fast 86er) and Siwon (officially 87er) were to enlist at the same time as Eun+Hae (b. 86).

He still has enough time to do all that before before he actually has to, though. The 85ers are due next year.

It's always amazing and amusing just how different his projects are compared to everyone else. His social circle, too, is ridiculously wide. SM's doing a good job promoting Siwon. That international Line endorsement alone must've earned him a looooooooot of money. And lots of exposure.

I think his project and social circle comes from his wealthy background and connections instead of SM Ent promoting him lol. Except maybe the Line endorsement.

I think it's half and half. Having a wealthy privileged background with lots AND a big company clearly works in his favor,

From: [identity profile] queenbratinella.livejournal.com
IDK, he doesn't really talk about his wealthy family? I doubt it's them that helps him get his solo work...I think it's the lethal combo of having a strong social network (plus knowing how to use it to his advantage) AND a big company to back him up.

"Killer car"... no pun intended?

Either way, I continue to appreciate his sincerity. And his ability to casually rub shoulders with all sorts of bigwigs.

I have been wondering why he hasn't taken on a new drama since SJ will be laying comparatively low for the year. I have heard talk about filming a Chinese film but this US thing is news to me. Still, best of luck with all that. I hope it's a good one...

I thought it was because of work or school. I do have a twitter but I really don't tweet that much. We can follow each other tho. My twitter UN is the same as my LJ UN. I'm not that creative, lol.

haha it looks nice in black. Didnt Kyuhyun also get a black audi?? it's cute how siwon is influencing the members a bit xD

Along with Kyuhyun even the stingy perennial cheapskate Eunhyuk has an Audi now (although IDK if he still has that, must have traded it in for that Porsche he's sporting now), and there's also Donghae (who also has a Porsche too IDK). I wonder sometimes if Siwon has this Audi scratch card that he fills out and he like, gets extra bonus points like free paint job! Additional premium vehicle insurance! or something for every SJ member or artist he influences to buy an Audi, lol.
