Born in Seoul in 1999, Choo Young-woo is one of the most watched faces in Korea's new generation of screen actors. He drew wide attention as the coolly principled Han Ho-yeol's junior in D.P. (2021), Netflix's military drama, and returned for its second season. He then led the apocalyptic Duty After School (2023) as a schoolboy pushed into a monstrous war.
