Biography

Choi was born in the neighborhood of Geumgok-dong [ko], Dong District, Incheon, Korea, Empire of Japan in 1940.[4] He is of the Haeju Choe clan.[5] Choi was the only son to his father Choi Cheol, a business man, and his mother Lee Myeong-suk who was a daughter of a royal pharmacist of the Korean Empire. Choi Cheol suddenly died when Choi was 8 years old and entered Sinheung Elementary School in Incheon. Choi moved to Seoul to attend Jungang Middle School. Choi was drawn to theater as he entered a theater club at Jungang High School. Choi established directing experiences while at Seorabeol Art College (which has since merged into the now Chung-Ang University). He entered Hanyang University in 1960. Before graduation, Choi starred in several plays. Choi was recruited as a KBS TV actor in 1976, and entered stardom with the role of Kim Jong-seo in the drama series, Prince Suyang.[6][4]

He is also the host for Korean Cuisine and Dining, a food travelogue series on food of Korea and the Korean diaspora.[7][8]
