Choi Jin-hyuk (Hangul: 최진혁, born Kim Tae-ho on February 9, 1986)[2] is a South Korean actor. He is best known for his roles in the television series Gu Family Book, The Heirs and Emergency Couple.

Career

Kim Tae-ho launched his acting career after he won the grand prize in the KBS reality talent show Survival Star Audition in 2006.[3] He began using the stage name Choi Jin-hyuk in 2010, prior to the airing of family drama It's Okay, Daddy's Girl, in which he was cast in his first leading role.[4] He also starred in the romantic comedies I Need Romance (2011),[5] and Ms Panda and Mr Hedgehog (2012).[6][7]

His breakout came in 2013 after a well-received appearance on fantasy-period drama Gu Family Book.[8][9][10][11] Afterwards, Choi landed supporting roles in two high-profile projects: writer Kim Eun-sook's trendy drama The Heirs, and the action film The Divine Move.[12][13] His costar in The Divine Move, Jung Woo-sung also directed him in the short film Beginning of a Dream (Choi had joined Jung's agency Red Brick House).[14][15]

In 2014, he headlined his first miniseries, the cable romantic comedy/medical drama Emergency Couple.[16][3][17] Choi then returned to network television with a supporting role in Fated to Love You, a remake of the 2008 Taiwanese drama.[18] Another leading role followed with the legal drama Pride and Prejudice.[19][20] He was also cast in a minor role in the Japanese film Koisuru Vampire ("Vampire in Love").

Choi went on a hiatus from acting when he enlisted for mandatory military service on March 31, 2015.[20][21] He had the option to join the Seoul Police Promotional Team, the theater unit under the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, but choose to serve as an active duty soldier.[22] He was discharged from the army after just seven months due to a knee injury.[23]

Choi made his return with the crime thriller Tunnel,[24] which was a hit in China.[25] In 2018, he was cast in the romantic comedy drama Devilish Charm,[26] and SBS drama An Empress' Dignity.[27]
