Biography

Choi Won Young, born Choi Seong Wook, is a renowned South Korean actor who has made a significant impact in the entertainment industry since his acting debut in the film Sex Is Zero.

Throughout his illustrious career, Choi has appeared in a wide range of film and television productions, garnering widespread recognition for his captivating performances. However, it is his memorable roles in the TV dramas While You Were Sleeping, A Hundred Year Legacy, and the low-budget crime thriller Your Time Is Up, which premiered at the 2012 Busan International Film Festival, that have truly showcased his exceptional acting abilities.

In December 2013, Choi became engaged to his long-time love, actress Shim Yi Young, whom he met while playing a married couple in the series A Hundred Year Legacy.
