Career
Choi is a natural winger well known for his great speed. He was identified as a very promising talent in his childhood, and was selected by Anyang in the 2000 draft following his graduation from Bupyeong High School (which former Feyenoord player Lee Chun-Soo also attended). Despite his early promise, his professional career at Anyang was particularly successful, playing as a wingback together with then-teammate Lee Young-Pyo. After short spells playing for Incheon and J-League side Shimizu, he joined Pohang Steelers. Although one of the better paid players at Pohang, Choi was not given much of a chance under Brazilian coach Sergio Farias. This was largely because the Steelers concentrated on midfield play rather than the sidelines, wwith playmaker André Luiz "TAVARES" playing a significant role. Choi was usually fielded as a substitute. Following the conclusion of the 2007 season, he transferred to Jeonbuk in a swap deal with Kwon Jip and Kim Jung-Kyum. (Centerback Kim Sung-Keun was also part of the swap along with Choi.)
At international level, Choi was part of the South Korean 2004 Olympic football team. At the Olympics, South Korea finished second in Group A, making it through to the next round, but was defeated by eventual silver medal winners Paraguay. He was also a member of the 2002 World Cup Korea squad but spent most of the tournament on the bench.
