Choo Young-woo Unveils a New Profile… Next Project Is a Romance Drama With Kim So-hyun

Actor Choo Young-woo once again left an imprint of his many-sided persona through a new profile that captures stark contrasts in mood. In the photos released by his agency, J-Wide Company, on the 31st, Choo Young-woo effortlessly moves between unadorned purity and restrained chic, demonstrating a broad range of potential as an actor who is not confined to any single image.

For this profile shoot, Choo Young-woo maximized his naturally clear, refreshing charm with a casual styling that paired a white T-shirt with denim. With nothing but his eyes, he seized the atmosphere, and in the subsequent black setup outfit, he exuded calm, weighty charisma, creating an even more mature vibe. This is more than just a photo shoot—it’s a moment that heightens anticipation for the acting transformation he will bring to his upcoming work.

Over the past year, Choo Young-woo solidified his status as a leading actor with a relentless, hardworking streak—unbound by genre or platform. Starting with the drama 〈Lady Ok〉, 〈Severe Trauma Center〉, 〈Gwangjang〉, and 〈Gyeon-woo and the Fairy〉, as well as the film 〈Even If This Love Disappears in the World〉, he has garnered positive feedback for both box-office and acting skill in every project, building a solid filmography.

His next destination, ready to carry the momentum forward, is ENA’s new Monday-to-Tuesday drama 〈Love Doctor〉. In the drama, Choo Young-woo plays Park Min-jae, a doctoral student who abandons his dream of becoming a swimmer due to an unfortunate illness and instead takes the path of a robotics engineering student. Attention is focused on how he will portray the emotional turbulence he will experience after meeting Im Yu-jin (Kim So-hyun), a master’s program student. Choo Young-woo’s new challenge, as he continues to sharpen his identity as an actor, can be seen on home screens in the second half of this year.
