Choi Ho-jong, a dancer and choreographer, shares his artistic journey in an interview with E-Daily, expressing his desire to communicate with the public while highlighting the charm of pure art. Known for winning on Mnet's 'Stage Fighter,' Choi has garnered public attention but continues pursuing artistic endeavors. He will perform at the 16th E-Daily Strategy Forum, addressing themes like population crisis and gender equality through dance. Choi is recognized as a 'star' in the Korean dance scene, breaking stereotypes that traditional Korean dance is less popular than ballet or contemporary dance. Despite fame from television, Choi is an acclaimed dancer, having reached the position of deputy chief at the National Dance Company of Korea. He chose to embrace freelance work, founding the dance group SAL. Choi reflects on his journey from a standard educational path in Daechi-dong to finding solace in the ambiguity of dance, emphasizing that dance should be experienced as felt rather than interpreted strictly.
