Biography
Choi was born in Paju, Keiki-dō, Korea, Empire of Japan (now in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea). Choi was one of popular actors of the 1960s along with Shin Young-kyun and Kim Jin-kyu.{{cite web |url=http://www.kmdb.or.kr/actor/mm_basic.asp?person_id=00000073&div=1 |script-title=ko:최무룡 |trans-title=Choi Moo-ryong |publisher=Korean Movie Database (KMDb) |access-date=2010-02-08 |language=ko |archive-date=2012-12-19 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121219150848/http://www.kmdb.or.kr/actor/mm_basic.asp?person_id=00000073&div=1 |url-status=live }} Choi gained a popularity for his handsome appearance and masculine image. Choi's personal life was as much dramatic as his starred films, so he always garnered the public attention. 1952, Choi married a colleague actress, Kang Hyo-shil, the daughter of a noted actress, Jeon Ok with the nickname, "Queen of Tears" and a singer Gang Hong-sik. Choi and his wife had one son and four daughters including an actor, Choi Min-soo. However, Choi had an affair with Kim Ji-mee, the best popular actress at that time, so that Choi and Gang divorced in 1962. Choi soon married Kim Ji-mee, but he owed massive debts due to his failed film production. As a result, Choi chose to divorce Kim again in 1969. At that time, the phrase, Because I love you, I have to part from her was circulated among the public.{{cite web |url=http://100.nate.com/dicsearch/pentry.html?s=B&i=189227&v=43 |script-title=ko:최무룡 |trans-title=Choi Moo-ryong |publisher=Nate / Britannica |access-date=2010-02-10 |language=ko|url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110610000854/http://100.nate.com/dicsearch/pentry.html?s=B&i=189227&v=43 |archivedate=2011-06-10 }}http://www.storysearch.co.kr/story?at=view&azi=77652{{dead link|date=August 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
