Choi Hyun-wook (Korean: 최현욱; Hanja: 崔顯旭; born January 30, 2002) is a South Korean actor. In 2019, he began his acting career by leading in the web drama Real:Time:Love. His role in SBS television series Taxi Driver and Racket Boys awarded him the Best New Actor at the 2021 SBS Drama Awards. Recently, he gained more recognition in the tvN drama Twenty-Five Twenty-One (2022).[1]

Early life and education[]

Choi Hyun-wook was born on January 30, 2002. He had played baseball for ten years since he was in elementary school. But, on his first year of high school, he had an elbow injury and the surgery along with the rehabilitation didn't help him that much. The situation pressured him to modify his career path as soon as possible, and in the end, he chose to do acting.[2] Eventually, Choi left Gangneung High School as well as his position at the school's baseball team and transferred to Hanlim Multi Art School at Broadcasting & Entertainment Department until he graduated.[3]

Career[]

2019-present: Acting debut[]

Choi made his debut as an actor on the 2019 WhyNot Media's web series Real: Time: Love, playing the role of Moon Ye-chan. Originally, he wasn't planning to pass the audition for the program as he only wanted to gain experience. But, to his surprise, he was offered the role.[4]

On March 23, 2020, Gold Medalist confirmed that Choi has been cast for the web drama Pop Out Boy!, based on the popular webtoon of the same name. The series began filming the following month.[5] It started to air on June 25.[6]

In April 2021, Choi appeared in a SBS drama Taxi Driver as Park Seung-tae, a school bully.[7] He was the antagonist on the series' episode 3 and 4.[8] A month earlier, he was selected to star in another SBS drama, Racket Boys.[9] Choi briefly appeared on Jirisan as Lim Cheol-kyeong in a flashback with Seo Yi-kang, one of the main characters.[10]
