CHOI Seung-hyun got his start in the group ‘Big-Bang’ in 2006. He made TV debut in the drama <I Am Sam> as the quiet and blunt CHAE Mu-shin in 2007. In 2009, Seung-hyun played a hitman in <Iris>. He was the cold-blooded Big, who only lives to eliminate his target. In <Iris>, he turned in a strong performance that put him toe-to-toe with his much more experienced cast members. In 2010, Seung-hyun appeared in the movie <71: Into the Fire> in which he portrayed a student soldier, ably demonstrating the despair on the battlefield. He took all the Best New Actor Awards from large awards ceremonies that year. He is a very promising actor in the Korean film industry. CHOI’s next big role was as a North Korean spy posing as a high school student in the action drama <Commitment>, which was released towards the end of 2013. In 2014, he appeared in the hotly anticipated gambling drama-thriller <Tazza 2>, the sequel to 2006’s <Tazza: The High Rollers>.
