Minyeong Choi’s Dating History Is Unknown Though He Shared Ideal Boyfriend Qualities

Minyeong Choi’s dating history is not as well chronicled as his character’s in the “To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before” universe. The K-drama star has the luxury of sharing his personal life at leisure.

Minyeong Choi got into acting as an extramural when he was in school. The kid who dreamed of becoming a professional soccer player landed K-drama auditions his mom nudged him to go to for fun. Most recently, he played in the popular Netflix series “Twenty Five Twenty One.”

He sent off his self-tape audition for “XO, Kitty,” his first English production, as a learning experience and was shocked when he was offered the part. Warning: This article contains major plot points from the first season of “XO, Kitty.”

Anna Cathcart was the precocious little sister of Lana Condor’s Lara Jean in the “To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before” trilogy since 2018. No one was more shocked that she had grown up since shooting the films than her new co-star.

“Oh, Kitty grew up,” was Choi’s reaction when he met with Cathcart over Zoom for the first time. He experienced her as less “perky” than the pre-teen she portrayed:

“She was just staying calm. And then she only talked when she had to talk. I felt like she was pretty charismatic.”

Cathcart got to know her Soul-based cast mates better by starting a group chat. The first important titbit Choi learned about his new colleagues was that Sang Heon (who portrays his best friend Min Ho) and Gia Kim (Yu R) are real-life siblings.

Is Anna Cathcart Minyeong Choi’s girlfriend in real life?

Choi set out to create a romantic leading man that did not necessarily have the “most charm,” looks, or talent. “He’s an ordinary guy,” the actor explains, “But what I loved about Dae was that he just had a warm heart.” He “almost lived like Dae,” which helped him connect with the character and cast.

Coming from a different storytelling tradition, Choi had to adapt to the lead character having multiple love interests. Yet, he is assertive in his stance on which one is the couple to watch in “XO, Kitty:”

“I think the love line with Dae and Kitty is the most interesting one.”

Laying the groundwork of his early career in South Korea gives the ambitious actor the advantage of the narrative to be focussed on his work as he makes his debut in English.

While there is nothing publicly available about whether Minyeong Choi has a partner, his legion of fans understood what kind of boyfriend he would be in a red carpet interview he did at the premiere of “XO, Kitty.”

He deems the best qualities of a boyfriend to be “Respect and paying attention.” The dimpled 20-year-old said on the pink carpet of his first major event in the United States. “And at the end of the day, sincerity and truth.”

Choi, who was wearing a perfectly fitted black blazer with a sliver pinstripe, did not fool anyone when he gave a self-deprecating answer when asked for an out-of-context spoiler of the spin-off:

“In the show, Dae looks way better than I do.”

As the show is based on long-distance relationships, Choi was queried on his views on the topic, and he did not disappoint lovelorn viewers of the “To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before” franchise.

The South Korea-based star is sold on long-distance relationships. The interviewer asked if he would travel 5,248 miles for love, as Kitty does in the series. “For sure,” the K-drama star confirmed.
