Choo Young Woo reveals harsh struggle before K-Drama fame
Choo Young Woo opened up about his tough start in the entertainment industry on the June 11 preview of You Quiz On The Block. The rising K-Drama star confessed he faced constant rejection after joining the field four years ago.
He said he was turned down in every audition he tried. To survive, Choo worked part-time jobs as a supermarket cart attendant, security guard, and parking attendant.
"When I joined the industry four years ago, I was rejected in every audition that I had tried out."
Choo’s perseverance paid off. He debuted in 2021 with the web drama You Make Me Dance and landed roles in Police University, School 2021, Once Upon a Small Town, and Oasis. His recent projects like The Tale of Lady Ok, The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call, and Mercy For None on Netflix skyrocketed his fame.
The actor’s chilling portrayal of Lee Geum Son in Mercy For None gained major attention.
Choo’s growth is clear: he first appeared on You Quiz On The Block six years ago as a student. Now he returns as a celebrated actor.
He’s set to star as the male lead in the upcoming rom-com Head Over Heels. Watch the trailer here.
