Playing Career Highlights
Early Days and First Club
Choi Tae-uk was seen as a very talented young player from a young age. After finishing high school, he joined Anyang LG Cheetahs in 2000. He played as a wing-back there, showing off his skills alongside his teammate Lee Young-pyo.
Moving Around Clubs
After his time at Anyang, Choi played for a few other teams. He had short periods with Incheon United and a Japanese team called Shimizu S-Pulse. Later, he joined Pohang Steelers. Even though he was a good player, he didn't get to play as much as he might have wanted at Pohang. This was partly because the team focused more on midfield play.
In 2007, Choi moved to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors. He played there for a few years before returning to FC Seoul in 2010. He finished his playing career with Ulsan Hyundai in 2014. Sadly, he had to retire from football in 2015 because of an injury.
International Matches
Representing South Korea
Choi Tae-uk also played for his country, South Korea, in big international tournaments.
He was part of the South Korean Olympic football team in 2004. At the Olympics, South Korea did well enough to get to the next round, but they were beaten by Paraguay.
Choi was also a member of the South Korean team for the 2002 World Cup. This was a huge event for South Korea, but Choi spent most of the tournament on the bench, ready to play if needed. He played a total of 30 games for the senior national team, scoring 4 goals.
