Kelly Choi

Kelly Choi (born February 7, 1976) is a Korean-American, Emmy-nominated television personality on nyctv, the official broadcast service of the City of New York.

A native of Seoul, Young Choi was a pre-schooler when she moved to the United States with her family. Growing up in central Virginia, she Americanized her given name and, as Kelly Choi, received her undergraduate degree from Williamsburg's College of William and Mary, and her Master's in journalism from New York's Columbia University. During, and following her studies, Choi, who stands 5 feet 10 inches (1.78m) tall, was a model with Ford Models and also worked as a VJ for MTV Korea.

Kelly Choi made the transition to New York area television by hosting "Freckles", a lifestyles program carried by the cable channel Plum TV, which is seen primarily in affluent vacation communities, in this case, The Hamptons in Long Island's Suffolk County. She entered the highly competitive New York City media market upon joining nyctv in 2004. Executive producers Arick Wierson and Trevor Scotland initially brought her to the months-old broadcast service to host the pilot episode for "Secrets of New York". She has subsequently gone on to host three seasons of the series, nationally distributed by PBS, and developed "Eat Out NY", another nyctv program in which, she starred as the host/guide to the city's restaurants. For a few months in 2006, as part of a unique content-sharing arrangement between nyctv and NBC's flagship station WNBC, "Eat Out NY" and Kelly Choi became popular fixtures of the Tri-State Region's noontime viewing. Choi also had appeared on a segment of "Extra", where she went on a blind date that was filmed. She also appeared as a judge on Food Network's "Iron Chef America".

Kelly Choi is considered the most widely recognized star of nyctv, and has received Emmy nominations from the New York chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
