Along with Joo Ji Hoon, Choo Young Woo is a Korean actor who received the attention of the audience in early 2025.
After the success of the role of Yang Jae Won - a 4th year resident doctor and student of Baek Kang Hyuk (Joo Ji Hoon) - a genius surgeon in the movie "Trauma Care Center", the upcoming projects of the 1999-born star receive many expectations.
According to Korean media, in April, Choo Young Woo will return with the drama “Mercy for None”.
Based on the webtoon of the same name, the film tells the story of two gangs that survive a battle for supremacy in Seoul (South Korea) in front of the National Assembly Square in Yeouido.
The story is pushed to a climax when Gi Jun (So Ji Sub) - a man determined to discover the secret behind the sudden death of his younger brother - Gi Seok (Lee Joon Hyuk).
Gi Jun's journey repeatedly clashes with Lee Joo Woon (Heo Joon Ho) - the boss of the Joowoon organization he once joined and Geum Son (Choo Young Woo) - his son - who separates himself from the gang as a current prosecutor.
According to the producer, Choo Young Woo's character is ambitious and will bring many unpredictable surprises in the film.
After “Mercy for None”, this June, the actor will reunite with Cho Yi Hyun in the romantic drama “Gyeonwoo and The Fairy”.
The film is adapted from the webtoon of the same name by An Su Min, revolving around Park Seong A - a high school girl by day and a magician and fairy by night. She has lived this double life for over 5 years.
Seong A accidentally meets Bae Gyeon U and falls in love with him at first sight. Gyeon U is a boy who often brings bad luck and rejects gods and shamans, but after meeting Seong A, he begins to have peaceful days.
The drama will air on tvN on Mondays and Tuesdays, with a total of 12 episodes, each lasting 60 minutes.
In 2021, Cho Yi Hyun and Choo Young Woo co-starred in the drama "School 2021", so the duo's reunion received positive feedback from the public.
Along with that, the production unit CJ ENM promoted “Gyeonwoo and The Fairy” as the second version of “Lovely Runner” because of the similarities in the film genre and the story of first love, causing the media to have high expectations.
In addition to Choo Young Woo's acting skills and his "chemistry" with his co-stars, Korean newspapers expect "Gyeonwoo and The Fairy" to be the third explosive film in the young star's career.
Previously, he ranked first in the top promising male actors of 2025 in a survey by Celuvmedia (Korea), and ranked 4th on the actor rankings by Good Data Corporation.
