Who is Choi Woo Sik, V's (BTS) best friend, who welcomed his friend back from the army in a 'purple' style?

With Wonderland just released on Netflix, Choi Woo Sik once again appeared alongside many names such as Thang Duy , Gong Yoo, Jung Yu Mi, Park Bo Gum, Suzy,... This is not the first time the actor has participated in a major project of the Korean film industry.

Similar to his Wonderland co-stars, Choi Woo Sik is now a household name with a series of achievements in both film and television. Born in 1990, Choi Woo Sik and his family immigrated to Canada when he was in 5th grade. There, he passed the computer engineering entrance exam at Simon Fraser University with top scores.

Despite his bright future, Woo Sik later decided to return to Korea to pursue acting. He studied Asian Culture at Chung Ang University, diligently registering for auditions despite opposition from his family.

In the early years of his career, Choi Woo Sik was constantly stuck in supporting roles. He even considered quitting acting and returning to Canada. Luckily, Set Me Free appeared so we wouldn't have to miss out on the excellent Choi Woo Sik he is today.

Despite being a low-budget independent film, Woo Sik was successful enough to attract the attention of critics for the first time. Along with that came successive honors such as Actor of the Year 2014 at the Busan International Film Festival, Best New Actor at the Blue Dragon Film Awards 2015,...

Riding on the success, Choi Woo Sik became part of the blockbuster horror film Train to Busan . Premiered at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, the film was a commercial and critical success, grossing over $93.1 million worldwide and entering the 10 million ticket club of Korean cinema.

Not stopping there, Okja gave Woo Sik the opportunity to collaborate with legendary director Bong Joon Ho. Although it was only a small role, his presence in a production with international stars such as Tilda Swinton, Paul Dano, Steven Yeun, Lily Collins,... was still a significant milestone.

In 2018, Choi Woo Sik collaborated with another veteran Korean filmmaker, Park Hoon Jung. Through The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion, he introduced a new, bold, and extremely attractive villain look.

Being paired with a director like Bong Joon Ho is certainly the dream of any young actor, but Parasite also helped Choi Woo Sik extend that unbelievable dream. And instead of being a supporting actor in Okja, he can now proudly walk the prestigious Cannes red carpet with other veterans like Song Kang Ho and Lee Sun Kyun.

Just think, in your generation, how many people got to play the main role in a film that just won the Palme d'Or, won "The Actor" for Best Cast at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, won 4 important Oscar statuettes and dozens of awards.

Parasite opened a glorious chapter in Choi Woo Sik's career. Then in July 2020, the 34-year-old handsome man became a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) (synonymous with the right to vote for the Oscars), also the youngest Korean actor to receive this honor.

Although not as popular as the film industry, the television industry also witnessed a colorful and equally beloved Choi Woo Sik. Among them, we must definitely mention Our beloved summer - a film about youth and love that once captivated many Korean film fans.

Playing the role of talented painter Choi Woong who just wants to live a simple life, Choi Woo Sik truly transformed himself into a delicate character down to the smallest detail.

He brings a Choi Woong that is both adorable and realistic, accurately capturing the childlike and profound aspects of the character's journey to adulthood. The perfect chemistry with Kim Da Mi simply elevates the story.

In contrast, earlier this year, Choi Woo Sik once again convincingly darkened the Netflix thriller series. But unlike the "Noble Prince" of The Witch, Lee Tang in A Killer Paradox is a paradoxical anti-hero. The actor thus conveyed his inner conflicts and moral ambiguity truthfully. Thanks to that, he was nominated for Best Actor at the Blue Dragon Series Awards. With his increasingly solid position in the Korean film industry, we wish Choi Woo Sik further success in his already brilliant acting career.

In addition to his acting talent, the actor also attracted attention for his special relationship with V (BTS). Both male gods are members of the "Wooga Squad" - a famous group of close friends in Kbiz, also including actors Park Seo Joon, Park Hyung Sik and rapper Peakboy .

Among the 5 members of the group, V and Choi Woo Sik are the most popular with the public due to their closeness and international fame. In his close friend's film project, the BTS member supported the actor Choi with the soundtrack "Christmas Tree". Immediately after its release, the song quickly recorded many achievements on the music charts. The film "Our Beloved Summer" created more buzz with the public.

V and his Wooga friends often support the actor's career on their personal pages. In July 2021, all four members were guests at "A Midsummer Night's Dream", a live fan meeting of Choi Woo Sik, celebrating 10 years in the entertainment industry.

Currently, the two best friends are famous names in Korean showbiz with busy work schedules. However, both of them still try to arrange meetings and hang out together.

Most recently, after 1 year and 6 months of military service, V (BTS) finally returned to the arms of his family, friends and fans. On June 11, the famous Wooga brotherhood held a party to welcome V back.

On his personal page, Park Seo Joon revealed photos from this party, causing a stir on social media. The brothers Park Seo Joon, Choi Woo Sik, Park Hyung Sik and Peakboy prepared BTS purple flowers, printed life-sized standees to welcome V. Park Seo Joon also confidently and proudly said "The King has returned", as a way to acknowledge and praise the status in the entertainment industry of his close brother.

Wooga's relationship began in 2016, when Park Seo Joon, Park Hyung Sik, and V starred in the historical drama Hwarang. During filming, they developed a close friendship and were later introduced to Choi Woo Sik (a long-time friend of Park Seo Joon) and Peakboy (also a close friend of Park Seo Joon). From there, the group of 5 was officially formed.

The Wooga Club is famous not only for its members' "huge" reputation but also for their sincere support and adorable everyday moments.

V is a member of the boy band BTS. In terms of popularity, BTS is currently the boy band that dominates all the charts. Not only successful domestically and regionally, BTS also won many major awards when entering the world's largest music market, the United States.
