Choi Woo-sik, born March 26, 1990, in Seoul, South Korea, is basically a force of nature when it comes to acting—seriously, the guy has range for days. You might’ve seen his face light up the big screen in “Parasite” (2019), which, let’s be real, pretty much took over the world. The way he played Ki-woo, hustling his way into the rich family’s house, juggling comedy and heartbreak like it’s no big deal? Iconic. But that’s just one flavor. Back in “Okja” (2017), he showed up in this wild, genre-bending adventure about a girl and her super-pig, holding his own next to Hollywood giants and a CGI animal that somehow made everyone cry. Not to mention “Geo-in” (2014), where he flexed some serious dramatic chops, getting all gritty and intense. What’s wild is how he bounces from indie projects to blockbuster hits without missing a beat. He doesn’t play it safe either—he’ll go from a sweet, awkward student to someone with a way darker edge, and you buy it every time. Offscreen, he keeps it pretty chill, not the flashy celebrity type, but somehow that just makes people root for him more. Fans dig his down-to-earth vibe and the way he just disappears into every role. Choi’s got that rare combo of relatability and star power, and honestly, it’s no wonder directors keep calling him up for the next big thing. If you’re not already paying attention to him, you’re missing out.
So, he packed up with his family and landed in Coquitlam, British Columbia, when he was just a kid, like ten years old. Imagine trying to figure out Canadian winters at that age. Fast forward a bit—he was supposed to be at Simon Fraser University, probably doing the whole college thing, but nah, that didn’t last. Dropped out. Decided he wasn’t about that life and just bounced, straight back to Korea. Why? Auditions. Chasing the dream, you know? Not everyone’s got the guts to ditch college and go halfway across the planet for a shot at making it big. But he did. That move totally flipped his life upside down—going from quiet Canadian suburbia to the chaos and buzz of the Korean entertainment industry. It’s a wild leap, honestly. Most people wouldn’t risk it, but sometimes you gotta roll the dice if you want something different.
