Choi Daniel

Choi Daniel (최다니엘, born February 22, 1986) has spent two decades building one of the most consistent careers in Korean television. Since his acting debut in 2005, he has worked steadily across drama, film, radio, and hosting.

His breakout came with High Kick Through the Roof (2009) and solidified with Baby Faced Beauty (2011), School 2013 (2013), and Jugglers (2017). He has been a radio DJ on KBS 2FM since 2013 and an anchor on KBS World Radio since 2011.

His dramatic range continued with The Ghost Detective (2018) and the webtoon adaptation Today's Webtoon (2022), where he played an empathetic web editor. In 2024, he led the romantic comedy Sorry Not Sorry as divorce lawyer Cha Hyeon-u. He then appeared in the theatrical film Sunny Day (February 2025). In 2026, he joins the cast of TVING's Yumi's Cells Season 3 as Kim Joo-ho, the lead writer at Julie Publishing -- a power extrovert whose energy contrasts with the new male lead.
