This year, he hopes to further captivate audiences with a couple of films in the offing.

Choi's latest film, "Train to Busan", directed by Yeon Sang-ho, will be shown out of competition at this year's Cannes Film Festival in May. Choi also appears in the soon-to-be-released romantic comedy "The Princess and the Matchmaker", and is currently working on a new project.

The disaster film "Train to Busan" tells the story of passengers on a train who struggle to survive amid a mutant virus outbreak.
