South Korean actress (born 1975)
a South Korean actress born 1975
Choi Ji woo (born Choi Mi hyang on June 11, 1975) is a South Korean actress. Considered one of South Korea's most beautiful women, she has received critical acclaim for her work in a wide range of melodramas, most notably Beautiful Days (2001), Winter Sonata (2002), Stairway to Heaven (2003),
Air City (2007), Star's Lover (2008), The Suspicious Housekeeper (2013) and Temptation (2014), as well as the romantic comedy series Twenty Again (2015) and Woman with a Suitcase (2016). Career
1994–1998: Beginnings
Choi Mi hyang was first discovered when she won a talent audition organized by MBC in 1994, then made her acting debut in the drama series War and Love in 1995. Afterwards, she adopted the stage name Choi Ji woo. She was cast in her first major role in 1996 film The Gate of Destiny, but her limited acting skills resulted in her being replaced during filming. In the next couple of years Choi continued to star in both TV dramas and films, including The Hole (the Original version of Hollywood thriller Hush), as well as the romantic comedies First Kiss with Ahn Jae wook and The Romantic President with Ahn Sung ki. It was her portrayals on TV of tragic heroines with a pure and innocent image—notably in Truth opposite Ryu Si won and Beautiful Days opposite Lee Byung hun—that boosted her rising popularity. In 2002, she reunited onscreen with Bae Yong joon (she previously had a supporting role in his 1996 drama First Love) that she would star in her most famous, iconic role. Directed by Yoon Seok ho as the second installment of his "season dramas," Winter Sonata became a phenomenal hit throughout Asia and has been credited as one of the initiators of the Korean Wave. As a result, Choi gained wide pan Asian recognition, especially a huge following in Japan where she acquired the nickname Ji woo Hime ("Princess Ji woo"). In 2009 she and Bae reprised their roles as voice actors for Winter Sonata Anime. She continues to be a lucrative star and brand in Japan, fetching high licensing/broadcasting rights for her dramas and selling out concerts and merchandise (tvN's E News compiled a list of the top Hallyu stars in Japan based on their approximate gross incomes for the first half of 2011, and Choi was number five with approximately $2 million). After the success of her 2003 melodrama Stairway to Heaven with Kwon Sang woo, Choi again attempted to break into film. She played a terminally ill heroine in Now and Forever, and a more risque character in sex comedy Everybody Has Secrets ("The Original Version of Irish film About Adam). Both films were poorly received by critics and audiences in South Korea, but performed well at the Japanese box office. Choi then spent the next few years overseas, shooting the Chinese drama 101st Proposal with Sun Xing, and the Japanese drama RONDO opposite Yutaka Takenouchi. She returned to Korean television in 2007 in Air City alongside Lee Jung jae; her role was the Chief Operating Officer of Incheon Airport. 2009–2012: Breakthrough
In 2009, she starred opposite Yoo Ji tae in the drama Star's Lover, playing a top actress who falls in love with an ordinary man. Choi received per episode, the highest salary for a Korean actress at the time (her record was later broken by Go Hyun jung's for the 2010 drama Daemul). That same year, she set up her own management agency called C,JW Company with her brother as CEO. She also joined the ensemble cast of semi improvisational mockumentary Actresses, arguably her most significant film yet. During the press conference for the 2011 series, Can't Lose, co starring Yoon Sang hyun, featuring a lawyer couple facing their own divorce suit, she was asked if she worried about shedding her pure and innocent image. Choi said, "I've had the same image for 15 years. Isn't it time for me to break out? I was a melodrama queen and now I want the title of romantic comedy queen." She added that she had gained more fans after showing her cheerful, easygoing side as a guest on the reality show 2 Days & 1 Night. In 2012, Choi was cast in the Chinese drama City Lovers, in which she portrayed the CEO at an event management company opposite Qin Hao, a newly employed businessman at her firm. Later that year, she became the host of Choi Ji woo's Delicious Korea on food lifestyle cable channel O'live TV alongside fashion designer Jung Kuho. The 5 episode show, which aired from November 23 to December 21, 2012, aimed to promote Korean cuisine and culture to the world, and the two hosts traveled through South Korea and introduced little known regional food to the viewers. She next headlined the 2013 remake of the hit 2011 Japanese drama Kaseifu no Mita. In The Suspicious Housekeeper, Choi played the titular character, an icy and stoic yet amazingly capable housekeeper who comes to work for a recently widowed father and his four children. Despite the difficulty of not being able to react to her costars, Choi said she chose the role because she "was really charmed by the way the heroine refrains from letting her emotions show." 2014–present: Career resurgence
In February 2014, Choi signed with the talent agency YG Entertainment. She then reunited with previous costar Kwon Sang woo in Temptation; she played a rich woman who makes a dangerous offer to a married man. Choi joined the fourth season of travel reality show Grandpas Over Flowers in 2015, where she and Lee Seo jin backpacked through Greece with veteran actors Lee Soon jae, Shin Goo, Park Geun hyung and Baek Il seob. This was followed by the cable series Twenty Again, where she gained critical acclaim as a shy 38 year old housewife who decides to experience campus college life for the first time alongside her 20 year old son. In 2016, Choi returned to the big screen in seven years, starring in the ensemble cast romance film Like for Likes. The same year, she starred in the legal romance drama Woman with a Suitcase. In 2017, Choi was cast in the family melodrama The Most Beautiful Goodbye, a remake of the drama The Most Beautiful Goodbye in the World by Noh Hee kyung. In 2019, Choi made a cameo appearance as herself in episode 13 of the tvN drama, Crash Landing on You''.

Choi Mi hyang was first discovered when she won a talent audition organized by MBC in 1994, then made her acting debut in the drama series War and Love in 1995. Afterwards, she adopted the stage name Choi Ji woo. She was cast in her first major role in 1996 film The Gate of Destiny, but her limited acting skills resulted in her being replaced during filming. In the next couple of years Choi continued to star in both TV dramas and films, including The Hole (the Original version of Hollywood thriller Hush), as well as the romantic comedies First Kiss with Ahn Jae wook and The Romantic President with Ahn Sung ki. It was her portrayals on TV of tragic heroines with a pure and innocent image—notably in Truth opposite Ryu Si won and Beautiful Days opposite Lee Byung hun—that boosted her rising popularity. In 2002, she reunited onscreen with Bae Yong joon (she previously had a supporting role in his 1996 drama First Love) that she would star in her most famous, iconic role. Directed by Yoon Seok ho as the second installment of his "season dramas," Winter Sonata became a phenomenal hit throughout Asia and has been credited as one of the initiators of the Korean Wave. As a result, Choi gained wide pan Asian recognition, especially a huge following in Japan where she acquired the nickname Ji woo Hime ("Princess Ji woo"). In 2009 she and Bae reprised their roles as voice actors for Winter Sonata Anime. She continues to be a lucrative star and brand in Japan, fetching high licensing/broadcasting rights for her dramas and selling out concerts and merchandise (tvN's E News compiled a list of the top Hallyu stars in Japan based on their approximate gross incomes for the first half of 2011, and Choi was number five with approximately $2 million). After the success of her 2003 melodrama Stairway to Heaven with Kwon Sang woo, Choi again attempted to break into film. She played a terminally ill heroine in Now and Forever, and a more risque character in sex comedy Everybody Has Secrets ("The Original Version of Irish film About Adam). Both films were poorly received by critics and audiences in South Korea, but performed well at the Japanese box office. Choi then spent the next few years overseas, shooting the Chinese drama 101st Proposal with Sun Xing, and the Japanese drama RONDO opposite Yutaka Takenouchi. She returned to Korean television in 2007 in Air City alongside Lee Jung jae; her role was the Chief Operating Officer of Incheon Airport. 2009–2012: Breakthrough
In 2009, she starred opposite Yoo Ji tae in the drama Star's Lover, playing a top actress who falls in love with an ordinary man. Choi received per episode, the highest salary for a Korean actress at the time (her record was later broken by Go Hyun jung's for the 2010 drama Daemul). That same year, she set up her own management agency called C,JW Company with her brother as CEO. She also joined the ensemble cast of semi improvisational mockumentary Actresses, arguably her most significant film yet. During the press conference for the 2011 series, Can't Lose, co starring Yoon Sang hyun, featuring a lawyer couple facing their own divorce suit, she was asked if she worried about shedding her pure and innocent image. Choi said, "I've had the same image for 15 years. Isn't it time for me to break out? I was a melodrama queen and now I want the title of romantic comedy queen." She added that she had gained more fans after showing her cheerful, easygoing side as a guest on the reality show 2 Days & 1 Night. In 2012, Choi was cast in the Chinese drama City Lovers, in which she portrayed the CEO at an event management company opposite Qin Hao, a newly employed businessman at her firm. Later that year, she became the host of Choi Ji woo's Delicious Korea on food lifestyle cable channel O'live TV alongside fashion designer Jung Kuho. The 5 episode show, which aired from November 23 to December 21, 2012, aimed to promote Korean cuisine and culture to the world, and the two hosts traveled through South Korea and introduced little known regional food to the viewers. She next headlined the 2013 remake of the hit 2011 Japanese drama Kaseifu no Mita. In The Suspicious Housekeeper, Choi played the titular character, an icy and stoic yet amazingly capable housekeeper who comes to work for a recently widowed father and his four children. Despite the difficulty of not being able to react to her costars, Choi said she chose the role because she "was really charmed by the way the heroine refrains from letting her emotions show." 2014–present: Career resurgence
In February 2014, Choi signed with the talent agency YG Entertainment. She then reunited with previous costar Kwon Sang woo in Temptation; she played a rich woman who makes a dangerous offer to a married man. Choi joined the fourth season of travel reality show Grandpas Over Flowers in 2015, where she and Lee Seo jin backpacked through Greece with veteran actors Lee Soon jae, Shin Goo, Park Geun hyung and Baek Il seob. This was followed by the cable series Twenty Again, where she gained critical acclaim as a shy 38 year old housewife who decides to experience campus college life for the first time alongside her 20 year old son. In 2016, Choi returned to the big screen in seven years, starring in the ensemble cast romance film Like for Likes. The same year, she starred in the legal romance drama Woman with a Suitcase. In 2017, Choi was cast in the family melodrama The Most Beautiful Goodbye, a remake of the drama The Most Beautiful Goodbye in the World by Noh Hee kyung. In 2019, Choi made a cameo appearance as herself in episode 13 of the tvN drama, Crash Landing on You''.

Чхве Ми Хян 1994 жылы MBC ұйымдастырған таланттар байқауында жеңіске жеткеннен кейін актерлік дебютін 1995 жылы «Соғыс және махаббат» драмалық сериалында жасады. Кейін ол Чхве Джи Ву сахналық есімін қабылдады. Ол 1996 жылы түсірілген «Тағдыр қақпасы» фильмінде алғашқы маңызды рөлін ойнады, бірақ оның актерлік шеберлігі жеткіліксіз болғандықтан түсіру кезінде оны ауыстыруға тура келді. Келесі бірнеше жылда Чхве теледрамалар мен фильмдерде ойнады, соның ішінде «Құдық» (Голливуд триллері «Хуш» фильмінің түпнұсқасы), сондай-ақ Ан Чжэ Вукпен «Бірінші сүйіспеншілік» және Ан Сунг Кимен «Романтикалық президент» романтикалық комедияларында түсті. Оның теледидардағы таза және әдемі бейнелі трагедиялық кейіпкерлерді сомдауы, әсіресе Рю Си Вонмен бірге «Шындық» және Ли Бён Хунмен бірге «Ғажайып күндер» фильмдеріндегі рөлдері оның танымалдығын арттырды. 2002 жылы ол Бей Ён Джунмен (бұрынғы 1996 жылғы «Бірінші махаббат» драмасында қосалқы рөлде ойнаған) қайтадан экранда кездесті және ол өзінің ең танымал, әйгілі рөлінде ойнады. Юн Сок Хо режиссерлік еткен «Қысқы соната» фильмі бүкіл Азияда үлкен жетістікке ие болды және Корей толқынының бастамашыларының бірі деп есептеледі. Нәтижесінде Чхве Азияда кең танылды, әсіресе Жапонияда үлкен жанкүйерлерге ие болды, онда ол Ji woo Hime («Принцесса Ji woo») деген лақап атын алды. 2009 жылы ол Бей Ён Джунмен бірге «Қысқы соната» анимесіне дауыстау жасады. Ол Жапонияда табысты жұлдыз және бренд болып қала береді, өзінің драмалары үшін жоғары лицензиялық/хабар тарату құқықтарын алады және концерттер мен тауарларды сатады (tvN-нің E News 2011 жылдың бірінші жартысындағы шамамен жалпы табысына негізделген Жапониядағы ең үздік Hallyu жұлдыздарының тізімін құрастырды, ал Чхве шамамен 2 миллион доллармен бесінші орынды иеленді). 2003 жылы Квон Санг Вумен бірге «Жұмаққа баспалдақ» мелодрамасы сәтті шыққаннан кейін Чхве қайтадан киноға түсуге тырысты. Ол «Now and Forever» фильмінде өлімге ауру қаһарманның рөлін ойнады, ал «Everybody Has Secrets» («Адам туралы» ирланд фильмінің түпнұсқасы) секс-комедиясында көбірек қатерлі кейіпкерді сомдады. Екі фильм де Оңтүстік Кореядағы сыншылар мен көрермендер тарапынан жақсы қабылданалмады, бірақ Жапониядағы кассада жақсы нәтижелер көрсетті. Кейін Чхве келесі бірнеше жылды шетелде өткізді, ол Sun Xing-пен бірге қытай драмасының «101-ші ұсынысын» және Yutaka Takenouchi-мен бірге жапон драмасының «RONDO»-сын түсірді. Ол 2007 жылы Ли Чжун Джемен бірге «Әуе қаласы» сериалында Корея теледидарына оралды; оның рөлі Инчхон әуежайының бас операциялық директоры болды.

South Korean actress (born 1975)
a South Korean actress born 1975
Choi Ji woo (born Choi Mi hyang on June 11, 1975) is a South Korean actress. Considered one of South Korea's most beautiful women, she has received critical acclaim for her work in a wide range of melodramas, most notably Beautiful Days (2001), Winter Sonata (2002), Stairway to Heaven (2003),
Air City (2007), Star's Lover (2008), The Suspicious Housekeeper (2013) and Temptation (2014), as well as the romantic comedy series Twenty Again (2015) and Woman with a Suitcase (2016). Career
1994–1998: Beginnings
Choi Mi hyang was first discovered when she won a talent audition organized by MBC in 1994, then made her acting debut in the drama series War and Love in 1995. Afterwards, she adopted the stage name Choi Ji woo. She was cast in her first major role in 1996 film The Gate of Destiny, but her limited acting skills resulted in her being replaced during filming. In the next couple of years Choi continued to star in both TV dramas and films, including The Hole (the Original version of Hollywood thriller Hush), as well as the romantic comedies First Kiss with Ahn Jae wook and The Romantic President with Ahn Sung ki. It was her portrayals on TV of tragic heroines with a pure and innocent image—notably in Truth opposite Ryu Si won and Beautiful Days opposite Lee Byung hun—that boosted her rising popularity. In 2002, she reunited onscreen with Bae Yong joon (she previously had a supporting role in his 1996 drama First Love) that she would star in her most famous, iconic role. Directed by Yoon Seok ho as the second installment of his "season dramas," Winter Sonata became a phenomenal hit throughout Asia and has been credited as one of the initiators of the Korean Wave. As a result, Choi gained wide pan Asian recognition, especially a huge following in Japan where she acquired the nickname Ji woo Hime ("Princess Ji woo"). In 2009 she and Bae reprised their roles as voice actors for Winter Sonata Anime. She continues to be a lucrative star and brand in Japan, fetching high licensing/broadcasting rights for her dramas and selling out concerts and merchandise (tvN's E News compiled a list of the top Hallyu stars in Japan based on their approximate gross incomes for the first half of 2011, and Choi was number five with approximately $2 million). After the success of her 2003 melodrama Stairway to Heaven with Kwon Sang woo, Choi again attempted to break into film. She played a terminally ill heroine in Now and Forever, and a more risque character in sex comedy Everybody Has Secrets ("The Original Version of Irish film About Adam). Both films were poorly received by critics and audiences in South Korea, but performed well at the Japanese box office. Choi then spent the next few years overseas, shooting the Chinese drama 101st Proposal with Sun Xing, and the Japanese drama RONDO opposite Yutaka Takenouchi. She returned to Korean television in 2007 in Air City alongside Lee Jung jae; her role was the Chief Operating Officer of Incheon Airport. 2009–2012: Breakthrough
In 2009, she starred opposite Yoo Ji tae in the drama Star's Lover, playing a top actress who falls in love with an ordinary man. Choi received per episode, the highest salary for a Korean actress at the time (her record was later broken by Go Hyun jung's for the 2010 drama Daemul). That same year, she set up her own management agency called C,JW Company with her brother as CEO. She also joined the ensemble cast of semi improvisational mockumentary Actresses, arguably her most significant film yet.

2009 жылы ол Ю Джи Тэмен бірге «Жұлдыздың сүйіктісі» драмасында, қарапайым адамға ғашық болған үздік актрисаның рөлін ойнады. Чхве эпизодқа ең жоғары жалақы алды, ол кезде кореялық актриса үшін ең жоғары жалақы (ол кейінірек 2010 жылы Го Хён Чжунның «Даэмуль» драмасы үшін рекордты бұзды). Сол жылы ол өзінің жеке басқарушы агенттігін құрды, оны C,JW Company деп атады, оның ағасы бас директор болды. Ол сондай-ақ жартылай импровизациялық макияждық актрисалар ансамблінің құрамына кірді, бұл оның ең маңызды фильмі деп айтуға болады. 2011 жылы «Жиігітсіз» сериясының баспасөз конференциясында Юн Санг Хённың қатысуымен адвокаттар жұптың ажырасуына қатысты, одан таза және әдемі имиджін жоғалтудан қорқа ма деп сұрады. Чхве: «Менің 15 жыл бойы бір суретім бар. Мен де қашып кетуім керек емес пе? Мен мелодрамалық королева болдым, енді романтикалық комедиялық королева атағын алғым келеді». Ол өзінің көңілді, жайбарақат жандығын 2 Days & 1 Night реалити-шоуында қонақ ретінде көрсеткеннен кейін, өзінің жанкүйерлерін көбірек табатынын айтты. 2012 жылы Чхве қытай драмасына түсті. Ол «Қала ғашықтары» деп аталады. Сол жылы ол Choi Ji woo's Delicious Korea бағдарламасының қонағы болды. 5 эпизодтан тұратын шоу 2012 жылдың 23 қарашасынан 21 желтоқсанына дейін эфирге шықты. Оның мақсаты - корей тағамдары мен мәдениетін әлемге таныстыру. Ол 2013 жылы 2011 жылы шыққан жапондық драма Kaseifu no Mita-ның қайта түсіріліміне түсті. «Күдікті үй шаруашылығы» фильмінде Чхве титулдық кейіпкерді ойнады, ол мұңды және салқын, бірақ таң қалдыратын қабілетті үй шаруашылығы қызметкері, ол жақында жесір болған әкесі мен оның төрт баласына жұмыс істеуге келеді. Чхве өзінің әріптестеріне жауап бере алмауының қиындығына қарамастан, ол рөлді таңдағанын айтты, өйткені «кейіпкердің эмоцияларын көрсетпеуі оны қатты қызықтырды».

Directed by Yoon Seok ho as the second installment of his "season dramas," Winter Sonata became a phenomenal hit throughout Asia and has been credited as one of the initiators of the Korean Wave. As a result, Choi gained wide pan Asian recognition, especially a huge following in Japan where she acquired the nickname Ji woo Hime ("Princess Ji woo"). In 2009 she and Bae reprised their roles as voice actors for Winter Sonata Anime. She continues to be a lucrative star and brand in Japan, fetching high licensing/broadcasting rights for her dramas and selling out concerts and merchandise (tvN's E News compiled a list of the top Hallyu stars in Japan based on their approximate gross incomes for the first half of 2011, and Choi was number five with approximately $2 million). After the success of her 2003 melodrama Stairway to Heaven with Kwon Sang woo, Choi again attempted to break into film. She played a terminally ill heroine in Now and Forever, and a more risque character in sex comedy Everybody Has Secrets ("The Original Version of Irish film About Adam). Both films were poorly received by critics and audiences in South Korea, but performed well at the Japanese box office. Choi then spent the next few years overseas, shooting the Chinese drama 101st Proposal with Sun Xing, and the Japanese drama RONDO opposite Yutaka Takenouchi. She returned to Korean television in 2007 in Air City alongside Lee Jung jae; her role was the Chief Operating Officer of Incheon Airport. 2009–2012: Breakthrough
In 2009, she starred opposite Yoo Ji tae in the drama Star's Lover, playing a top actress who falls in love with an ordinary man. Choi received per episode, the highest salary for a Korean actress at the time (her record was later broken by Go Hyun jung's for the 2010 drama Daemul). That same year, she set up her own management agency called C,JW Company with her brother as CEO. She also joined the ensemble cast of semi improvisational mockumentary Actresses, arguably her most significant film yet. During the press conference for the 2011 series, Can't Lose, co starring Yoon Sang hyun, featuring a lawyer couple facing their own divorce suit, she was asked if she worried about shedding her pure and innocent image. Choi said, "I've had the same image for 15 years. Isn't it time for me to break out? I was a melodrama queen and now I want the title of romantic comedy queen." She added that she had gained more fans after showing her cheerful, easygoing side as a guest on the reality show 2 Days & 1 Night. In 2012, Choi was cast in the Chinese drama City Lovers, in which she portrayed the CEO at an event management company opposite Qin Hao, a newly employed businessman at her firm. Later that year, she became the host of Choi Ji woo's Delicious Korea on food lifestyle cable channel O'live TV alongside fashion designer Jung Kuho. The 5 episode show, which aired from November 23 to December 21, 2012, aimed to promote Korean cuisine and culture to the world, and the two hosts traveled through South Korea and introduced little known regional food to the viewers. She next headlined the 2013 remake of the hit 2011 Japanese drama Kaseifu no Mita. In The Suspicious Housekeeper, Choi played the titular character, an icy and stoic yet amazingly capable housekeeper who comes to work for a recently widowed father and his four children. Despite the difficulty of not being able to react to her costars, Choi said she chose the role because she "was really charmed by the way the heroine refrains from letting her emotions show." 2014–present: Career resurgence
In February 2014, Choi signed with the talent agency YG Entertainment. She then reunited with previous costar Kwon Sang woo in Temptation; she played a rich woman who makes a dangerous offer to a married man. Choi joined the fourth season of travel reality show Grandpas Over Flowers in 2015, where she and Lee Seo jin backpacked through Greece with veteran actors Lee Soon jae, Shin Goo, Park Geun hyung and Baek Il seob. This was followed by the cable series Twenty Again, where she gained critical acclaim as a shy 38 year old housewife who decides to experience campus college life for the first time alongside her 20 year old son. In 2016, Choi returned to the big screen in seven years, starring in the ensemble cast romance film Like for Likes. The same year, she starred in the legal romance drama Woman with a Suitcase. In 2017, Choi was cast in the family melodrama The Most Beautiful Goodbye, a remake of the drama The Most Beautiful Goodbye in the World by Noh Hee kyung. In 2019, Choi made a cameo appearance as herself in episode 13 of the tvN drama, Crash Landing on You''.
