Choi Soo-jong meets Noh So-young at theater performance

Actor Choi Soo-jong drew attention after releasing photos taken with Noh So-young, the director of Art Center Nabi, who visited his theater performance. An unexpected 'star lineup' was formed as famous actors and cultural figures, including Lee Young-ae, Son Sook, Lee Il-hwa, and Jeong Gyeong-sun, gathered at the venue.

On the 9th, Choi posted several photos on his SNS with the caption, “Teacher Son Sook, actress Lee Young-ae, actress Lee Il-hwa, actress Jeong Gyeong-sun, Chairman Jeong Byeong-guk, and Director Noh So-young.”

The released photos capture Choi posing with acquaintances who came to visit him after his play. Dressed in comfortable attire, Choi greeted the visitors with a bright smile. The photos also featured Jung Tae-woo and Kang Seong-jin alongside Son Sook, Lee Young-ae, Lee Il-hwa, and Jeong Gyeong-sun.

In particular, the appearance of Director Noh drew significant attention. Noh appears to have personally visited Choi's theater, where she joined other audience members and acquaintances for commemorative photos.

Noh has recently been in the spotlight due to her divorce and asset division lawsuit with SK Group Chairman Choi Tae Won. The court ruled that Noh is entitled to a massive asset division settlement, a lawsuit that has garnered attention as an exceptionally large-scale case among domestic divorce proceedings.

However, rather than indicating a formal collaboration or official event between the two, the photos appear to depict a casual moment where Noh took a commemorative photo after watching Choi's performance.

Along with the photos, Choi expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thank you for making such a precious visit, for the precious gifts, and for the many compliments. I will repay you with my initial passion until the very last moment.” He also expressed his affection for his current play by adding hashtags such as '#Oedipus', '#GoodInfluence', and '#ChannelOfBlessing'.

Born in 1962, Choi debuted in the 1987 KBS drama 'The Tree Where Love Blossoms' and has established himself as a legendary national actor through numerous productions, including 'Seoul Ttukbaegi', 'Sons and Daughters', 'Emperor Wang Gun', 'The King Dae Joyoung', 'My Only One', and 'Korea-Khitan War'.

Choi, who married actress Ha Hee-ra in 1993, has one son and one daughter. He is currently playing the tragic protagonist in the play 'Oedipus', performing at the Sejong Center M Theater through the 23rd.

In this modern reinterpretation of the iconic Greek tragic figure, Choi is showcasing a new side of his acting through a character that oscillates between royal glory and human tragedy.
