Choo Seung Il debuted in 1992 with the S.F.A.A Collection fashion show for designers Jang Kwang Hyo and Lim Tae Young. Right away, he became an unprecedented trendsetter for his towering height of 6’2″ (187 cm) and long hair and soared to fame. Throughout his career, Choo Seung Il was recognized as one of Korea’s top models alongside Cha Seung Won—so iconic that even actor Oh Ji Ho once revealed that as a high school student, he was so fascinated by Cha Seung Won’s style that he tried to copy the hairstyle.

Choo Seung Il stepped away from the modeling scene after a relatively early retirement. Still, Choo Young Woo mentioned in the interview that his father, a living legend and a sunbae in the entertainment business, advises him to stay humble and professional.

My father understands that the entertainment industry has changed significantly since his time, so he tends to trust me and give me the freedom to handle my own work. But he did tell me to always greet people properly and to never be late.
