Growing Up
Choi Ji-woo was born on June 11, 1975, in Busan, South Korea, to a family of four. It is said that when Ji-woo's mom was pregnant, she dreamed that she picked an apple from an apple tree and carried it in her arms, thus giving birth to Ji-woo. Papa Choi named her Mika. Because she moved around a lot, the still young Mi-hyang traveled with her family, and only lived in Busan since the sixth grade, so she grew up without much pettiness and developed a good ability to adapt. Choi Ji-woo
When she was in elementary school, Mi-hyang had a very lively personality, and was so attentive and sincere that children loved to play with her. When she was in middle school, Mi-hyang learned horseback riding and skiing again, and she ran to learn modern dance whenever she had free time. Choi Ji-woo's family has two children in one **** and an older brother above her. She lives with her parents, her dad's name is Choi WoonYong, her mom's name is Yun GilJa, and her brother, who is two years older, goes to graduate school. Because Choi WoonYong's dad was in the military, Choi WoonYong's family rules are very strict and the people she fears the most are her parents. She listens to her parents a lot, not that she lacks independence, it's just that she doesn't feel very good at making her own decisions yet. Because she was easily frightened as a child, everyone teased her that she looked like a six year old, and her buddies even gave her a cute nickname - "Bunny". Until now, she is still shy in front of strangers. A self-proclaimed pet fanatic, Choi Ji-woo has a puppy named ShiChi, which was given to her by a friend on her birthday. Choi Ji-woo doesn't control her diet like other actresses because she wants to stay in shape, on the contrary she loves all kinds of food, almost all small dishes, especially dried fish fillets, and chewy foods. She is also never tired of meat and has it for three meals a day. She likes to drink weaker alcoholic beverages like cocktails and beer. She also has her own way of taking care of her body and skin, most notably by practicing hula hooping and doing exercises on the in-room fitness equipment. When it comes to dressing, she doesn't like to wear luxurious type of clothes, rather she prefers simple yet stylish clothes and when she is not shooting, she wears the simplest jeans and T-shirts. She doesn't like strong perfumes, but she doesn't like too light ones either, and one of her favorite perfumes was given to her by a friend. Although Choi has a lively side to her personality, she is shy around people, so her social circle is limited to those she knows. She has a hard time getting acquainted with strangers in a short period of time, she feels overwhelmed with them, and once she gets acquainted with them, she's the type to always be nice to others. In school girls like to be in groups, but this is not very easy for her. She herself feels that she has a more endearing and infectious personality among her friends, as she is by nature lively and sometimes even a little crazy. In 1994, Choi enrolled in the dance department of Pusan Women's University, and after graduation, in March 2001, she enrolled in the film department of Hanyang University. A TV production of "War and Love" brought this happy-go-lucky little girl into the entertainment industry, and by this time her stage name was Choi Ji-woo.
Debut
Choi Ji-woo has been on the road to acting ever since she entered the dance department of Pusan National University in 1994 and participated in the 23rd MBC Idol Open Recruitment with a try-out attitude. Before becoming a superstar, anyone would go through some tough times. Originally, she was the female lead in the movie GhiChunDo, and her financier had a good relationship with Kim Min Jong, the male lead of that movie, and with her serious dedication to the relationship, she became involved in the movie. She didn't even mind writing ten pages of memos a day, mostly notes on the characters. Unfortunately, the crew and director were temporarily replaced and she had to leave, even though some scenes had already been shot. The failure of the role caused Jiwoo to cry for five days. In 1995, following her first TV work War and Love, she participated in a casting contest for Isabelle Adjani in Korea, where every newcomer gets a chance to try out, and at that time she already had a little bit of fame, so there was a little bit of embarrassment for her to participate in that contest, but she went anyway, because winning that contest would give her a chance to participate in a movie called Park Bong Gon's Leaving the House Incident for a Role. In the end, she won the Isabelle Adjani casting contest and actually won that opportunity. Since then, she has had a lot of opportunities and has been asked to act in many dramas. Choi Ji-woo played Jung Wee-jin in "Winter Love Song."
She had a small supporting role in "First Love," which also featured a number of veteran stars, but her charismatic performance attracted the audience's attention, and she was originally asked to play the main role of Yao Seung-yeon because she was assigned a heavier role in "The Case of the Leaving of Park Bong-gon. At that time, she was assigned a heavier role in "Park Bong Gon's Leaving Incident", so she didn't accept that role, and later she played a supporting role comparable to Bae Yong Joon. Since she and Bae Yong Joon cooperated in the serial drama "First Love", the highest ratings at that time had soared to nearly 66%, and every episode of the ratings were the first, which made her famous and popular until now. However, due to the rapid rise in popularity, Choi Ji-woo did not shy away from saying that she was depressed after filming 'Unstoppable Love', saying, "At that time, there was only one feeling, which was that the whole person had been emptied out." After thinking about it for a while, Choi decided to go to college at the "advanced age" of twenty-five, so she is still a student at the Department of Theater at Hanyang University. Interestingly, Choi was given two classes for filming "Beautiful Day" and she was not happy about it, so she immediately became angry, "I must get a scholarship next semester to to get a scholarship next semester!" But by now, the time limit for Choi Ji-woo to apply for a suspension for filming the drama has expired, and she has received a notice of expulsion from the university. Choi Ji-woo is recognized for her beauty, although it is rumored that due to her having undergone plastic surgery.

The person in charge of the contest had to come out and explain, "It's hard to determine the standard of beauty, but through extensive research with plastic surgeons, advertisers, and directors, we tried our best to maintain maximum objectivity." But no matter what, there is no denying Choi Ji-woo's classic beautiful and kind image in Korean dramas. The secret of Choi's success is her height of 1 meter 74 and her innocent appearance. in March 2004, Choi received a warm welcome from the Japanese media and viewers when she came to Japan to shoot the feature "Winter Love Song - With Choi Ji Woo" for NHK TV. Surprised by the audience's enthusiasm, Choi said that she had heard that 'Winter Love Song' was a hit in Japan when she was in Korea, but she did not expect such a warm welcome, and hinted to the reporters that she was interested in developing her career in the Japanese movie industry. One fan said, "Maybe it's because Japanese dramas have too many scenes of leaking and pornography, so dramas starring an innocent-looking actress like Choi Ji Woo will appeal more to the eyes of Japanese viewers instead." Choi Ji-woo said that in her seven years in the business, she has mostly acted in roles that are chaste and clean-cut, but in "Unstoppable Love," which was released by Bada Drama Channel, she is playing a smart and vivacious daughter of a rich family who has a faked romance with Kim Seung-woo in order to attempt to get out of a blind date that was set up by her father, a role that has a sense of female autonomy, which is exactly what she aspires to be. After 'Beautiful Day', Choi Ji Woo has been busy enriching her life, not only focusing on her schoolwork, but also learning golf and English, taking the opportunity to shoot a cookie commercial and endorsing a women's apparel company, making her life very fulfilling. In addition, Choi Ji-woo has been described as a "beautiful and kind angel" by the Korean media for signing an organ donation letter and donating 30 million won every year at her alma mater in Busan Girls' High School to provide scholarships for younger students.
