Career
On the final day of the 2015 K-League Challenge, Choi started against Gangwon with Seoul E-Land. In the 36th minute, he went up for a header with Han Seok-jong, but they collided, causing his skull to be fractured. After his recovery, Choi wore headgear to prevent injuries and provide psychological assistance.[1] In 2017, he stopped wearing it to confront his fears.[2]
