<p>Your first encounter with Korean actor <strong>Choi Woo-shik</strong> would either be when he played Kim Ki-woo in Academy Award winner for Best Picture &#x27;Parasite&#x27;, or as one of the passengers in hit zombie movie &#x27;Train to Busan&#x27; back in 2016. Either way, this multi-faceted 31-year-old actor already has quite a number of films and TV shows under his belt. These days, he plays the role of young artist/illustrator Choi Ung in &#x27;Our Beloved Summer&#x27;, in which he acts alongside Korean actress Kim Da-mi of &#x27;Itaewon Class&#x27; fame. </p><div><br/></div><p>Don&#x27;t be fooled by this baby-faced actor, as his roles rarely ever allow him to play innocent characters. His disarming charm, good looks, and boy-next-door vibe are what crushes are made of, but then again, Woo-shik has got a lot more tricks up his sleeve.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/f34b344c-9029-4292-85a4-7ec3326658a9_225948269_813750015991637_647961605923088197_n.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Choi Woo-shik for Fresh<span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none"><em> @dntlrdl  </em></span></span></span></span></div><p>Having played varying roles throughout his 11-year career, Woo-shik is already a seasoned actor that can deliver justice to characters in thrillers, comedies, romance dramas, historical/period dramas, and even crime and legal dramas. His flexibility in acting also shows in the transformations he&#x27;s had through the years. From classic Korean bowl cuts, to curly locks, to retro-style &#x27;70s mullets, Woo-shik has rocked it all! In the gallery below, swipe to see some of his most iconic looks in the roles he&#x27;s played, and let us know which one&#x27;s your favorite Woo-shik era!</p><div><br/></div><div
