Career
2016–2018: Debut with Victon
Choi joined A Cube Entertainment (which became Plan A in 2015 and then IST Entertainment in 2022) as a trainee in 2014 and was among the company's earliest batch of male trainees alongside Victon members Heo Chan, Han Seung-woo and Kang Seung-sik.[3] In 2016 he was announced as a member of their new boy group, then referred to as "Plan A Boys", participating in their pre-debut reality show Me and 7 Men.[4] In November 2016, Choi debuted in Plan A's new group, officially named Victon.[5]
2019–present: Produce X 101 and acting debut
In 2019, Choi competed in Produce X 101 alongside groupmate Han Seung-woo. Choi withdrew from the show permanently on July 11 to recover from the increasing pain brought by his chronic Achilles tendinitis.[6] After recovering, he became an MC for the SBS MTV program Banban Show along with host Jang Sung-kyu and fellow Produce X 101 participant Song Yuvin.[7] After withdrawing from the show, he returned to Victon for their Nostalgia promotions.
During promotions for Victon's sixth EP Continuous Choi limited his participation due to a herniated disk in his neck.[8]
In November 2020, Choi made his acting debut in the show Live On.[2] He played the role of Kim Yoo-shin and he gained praise for his three-dimensional acting for the character.[9] In promotion of his acting debut, he appeared in the magazine 1st Look.[10]
In October 2021, Choi appeared in his first historical drama The King's Affection.
In February 2022, Choi played Shin Ha-min in the series Business Proposal.
On April 20, 2023, IST Entertainment announced that Choi did not renew his contract with the agency.[11]
