A talented family.
Choo Young Woo has been making waves recently, starring in both The Tale Of Lady Ok and The Trauma Code. With two main roles under his belt in just the first month of 2025, Choo is definitely destined for superstardom.
It was recently revealed that his father was the source of some of his good genes. His father is Choo Seung Il, one of Korea’s top models in the 1990s. Back then, it was not common for male models to be over 187cm, but Choo Seung Il achieved it. His unique features also made him an unfailing choice for many brands.

Not only that, but his mother was also revealed to be a celebrity. According to Korean sources, his mother is Kang Sung Jin, a model from the 1990s as well. She was born in 1970, and is said to be 3 years older than her husband. In 1993, she won an award for her modelling. While Choi Jin Sil and Choi Min Soo were chosen for the “Best Model (Celebrities)” category, Kang Sung Jin won the “Best Model (Photography)” award, cementing her status as a top model. She left the industry early, presumably to focus on her family. Choo Young Woo was born in 1999 as the couple’s firstborn.
The entire family is talented! Choo Young Woo’s younger brother, Choo Jung Woo, was chosen to star as Young Woo’s body double in The Tale of Lady Ok. He also does his own acting. You can ready more about it below.
