Choi Ji Woo, born in 1975, is a Korean actress who was famous in the early 2000s, and was even considered a symbol of the Hallyu wave at that time. Her appeal was so strong that in Japan and many Asian countries, Choi Ji Woo was called by the beautiful title “Princess Ji Woo”.
Choi Ji Woo’s heyday was also the time when Korean movies were extremely popular, the more tragic the crying, the more famous the movie. Meanwhile, Choi Ji Woo’s forte was crying. She was even dubbed the “queen of tears”, changing her life thanks to the precious tears in the movie. In 2002, Winter Sonata was a movie that shook Asia, taking away too many tears from the audience. After that, she once again brought her name to the peak of fame with the movie Stairway to Heaven.
At her peak, Choi Ji Woo’s income was among the highest in Korea. She received 48 million won (nearly 1 billion VND) for each episode of the movie Star Lover.

Although her career is so brilliant, since 2017, Choi Ji Woo has refused all scripts, the reason is that in 2018, she decided to get married and become a mother.

Since then, Choi Ji Woo has not made any news about her private life public, and her photos with her children always cover her face. The audience doesn’t really know who her husband is, there are only news that the press has revealed but not confirmed by the people involved. The rare time Choi Ji Woo shared about her private life was when she was caught up in rumors of her husband’s abuse, at that time the actress posted a photo of herself receiving a bouquet of flowers on her story with a happy look.
