Actor Yim Si-wan, from idol group ZE:A, is returning to the big screen with a new film, “Thinking of Elder Brother.”

The film’s preview video has had 1.5 million hits in just a day.

Lee Han, who is famous for “Punch” (2011), directed the movie, which is expected to open in theaters next month.

The film is about a military man who loses everything during war. Motivated by a children’s choir, the film depicts a miracle for devastated people during conflict.

Yim plays leading character Han Sang-yeol, a soldier.

Although Yim debuted as an idol singer, he rose to stardom in the hit television series “Misaeng (Incomplete Life),” in 2013. Yim’s filmography also includes the “The Attorney” (2013).
