Choi lived a pacific life once, as an owner of a butcher shop in a suburb
of Korea, and happily married. However, both the tedium of his life and the lack
of excitement made Choi a bit desperate for action. He was very skillful, from
an early age, in slicing and dicing things, learning to cut the meat that came
to the butcher shop. However, sometimes Choi thrived in cutting other things
besides animal meat.
One night, Choi was standing in front of his butcher shop, contemplating
the stars. Once again, the need for some action in his life invaded his mind.
And as of fate would have wanted it, a huge, bulky man came running into Choi.
After a few minutes of recoil, Choi was astonished at the giant individual. He
was fat, bald, bearded, and wielding a huge iron ball. It was Chang Koehan, the
infamous criminal, who had just broke out of jail. Soon, Chang told Choi about
all the fun and excitement in his crime life, and Choi got excited all of a
sudden. Seeing Choi's gleer, Chang decided to invite him as a partner at night.
Choi soon took out his steel claws which he had built himself, and began his
adventures with Chang, without his wife ever knowing.
Chang and Choi thrived in terrorizing the local population with their
evildoings. Mugging is the best thing that they practiced. Choi now led a double
life: pacific butcher man by day, little terror by night. He finally found
himself alive by seeing the face of horror of his victims. That is, until he
came...
In a cold night, Chang and Choi had located their latest targets, one of
them being a young woman. As soon as the duo prepared for the assault, a sudden
white streak cruised their eyes. Quickly and efficiently, Chang and Choi were
sent flying into the air. Having a hard time recovering, Chang and Choi barely
distinguished a man in a white "dogi" (uniform). It was the fighter of justice,
Kim Kaphwan! Kim had already heard about them, and decided to rid the world of
the evil scum, he decides to reform the two criminals by taking them to his dojo
and training them on Tae Kwon Do. Choi opposed instantly, but he was swiftly
whacked by Kim (and Chang, too, even though he was just looking!).
Thus, began the personal hell of Chang and Choi. Choi was promptly
"retired" from his night criminal life, and had to train instead. Choi soon
regretted the day he desired having emotions in his life, since all that it led
him to was a lifetime of training under the sadistic Kim. Day after day, Chang
and Choi planned their escape, but failed miserably each time (and gaining a
subsequent beating afterwards). Choi saw the liberty a few feet away a few
times, but Chang always screwed up. However, Choi never loses hopes to run away
from Kim and finally go back in business!
During a normal, hard training day with Kim, Choi met a man that had trained
aside Kim long ago, but was totally different from him: he was ruthless, and quite
a short-tempered fellow. Choi saw in him a last chance in escaping from the
clutches of the merciless Kim, but it would soon turn out totally against him: the
man, Jhun Hoon, was there to show the TRUE ways of justice: the way of violence!
The cavalry continues for Choi, and more so when, just after the 1999 version of
the King of Fighters tournament, he is assigned to the same Jhun to see which
method of training is best. It seems that there will be no way in hell that the
criminal duo will be escaping soon!
Choi is always taking advantage of the opportunity to show off and impress
Kim, and see if that way he can finally gain his liberty. He is the best of
friends with Chang, but he truly hates that Chang always says the wrong things
in the wrong times! Choi always loves the excitement of battle, and loves to
gouge claws into the opponents' flesh.
*Fun fact = In KOF '97, when Kim executed his "C" throw against Choi (the grab-
by-the-head-and-slam-them-on-the-floor throw), it caused double damage! I guess
Kim always takes it hard against poor Choi! ^-^
*Cloth changes = In KOF '94/'95, Choi wore black pants, green shirt, and some
strappers. In KOF '96, he is given an uniform similiar to Kim, courtesy of his
master!
