Club career

Previously having played football for the Ajou University team, Choi moved to Germany and joined FC St. Pauli in 2014. While still playing for the club's under-19 team, in January 2014, he extended his expiring contract until 2015 including a one-year extension option. From this moment on, he also participated in the first team's training.[2]

Choi made his 2. Bundesliga debut for St. Pauli's first team on 6 April 2015 in a match against Fortuna Düsseldorf, scoring a brace within the first 16 minutes of the game.[3]

In May 2018, Karlsruher SC, newly relegated to the 3. Liga, announced Choi would join for the 2018–19 season having agreed a three-year contract until 2021.[4]
