Koreans Update Project - Choe Ha-seop

[J.J.Hayden]

Though not part of the Big 4, Choe Hwa-seop will be a familiar face to fans of Korean action cinema. He had not yet been visually ID'd and his few HKMDB credits were split between 2 pages, one for Choe Hwa-seop and one for Choe Ha-seop. Easy to see why this happened as there are some Korean names that seem to drop a letter from time to time, the most common being an R before a Y is sometimes dropped, so Ryong can be Yong for example. So I merged the pages (which only had 2 or each so it didn't take long) and added the missing films that I've seen him in.

Anyway, I've updated his basic info, mostly just adding the alias' that were on the deleted page, as there's very little info on him, not even his DOB

Somehow it seems that I hadn't taken any notes on Twelve Gates To Hell [1980]. So I missed this one.

While going over some films, I spotted Choe Hwa-seop in a few more secondary roles. One of them I was already aware of but couldn't be sure it was him due to low quality as at the time there was another actor who's ID I couldn't been sure of, but now I'm happy to say that after a few years in the dark I've finally cracked the case on him and I can go ahead with my initial belief that it Choe Hwa-seop has 2 roles in 10 Disciples Of Shaolin.

Another little update, this time for Kwangdong Viper in which I spotted Choe Hwa-seop playing a third role. I'm not surprised by this, in fact I correctly assumed I'd find several of the main villains also playing members of the black clad mini army. I just hadn't forced myself to give try and get a good look at them, although it was difficult due to the poor quality, I did manage to spot a few of them and have plenty more updates for Kwangdong Viper on the way as I finally managed to ID the very last cast member (well,except one but there's nothing to work with )

KUP round 2

First things first, I've changed his name from Choe Hwa-seop (as I had seen it as in most cases) to Choe Ha-seop, a name I had put as an alias. This is because I got a message from his son informing me that this was the correct name, unfortunately he wasn't interested in more discussion about his father. A great shame, as the pretty much no info out there whatsoever.

Along with corrections I made in a previous post, I have removed him from Leopard Fist Ninja, as it's a guy who does share a lot of similarities to him, but at some angles you can tell they're not the same person.

While looking over his credits, I noticed that I'd forgotten to add Kim Won-jin to the cast of Zombie Power: The Super Master [1987], which uses footage of her from The Undertaker In Sohwa Province. So I've quickly added it here.

Back to Choe, I also noticed that he does some doubling for Jin Noo-ri in Deadly Shaolin Longfist [1982]

No new films for Choe, just some extra roles in the films I've already ID'd him in:

Shaolin Drunken Monkey [1981] --- role 2 (the 3rd ID)
https://hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mhtml?id=10343&display_set=eng


Sandong Chinese Restaurant [1983] --- role2
https://hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mhtml?id=16276&display_set=eng


Full Metal Ninja [1988] --- role 3
https://hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mhtml?id=15116&display_set=eng



There was one more correction, but there's a bit more to add to it:

I actually had to remove one of his roles from Duel Of Tough [1979], as it's actually Kei Ho-chiu who I I've ID'd in at least 2 roles. I also spotted Chow Kong in 2 roles, he was credited as Jackie Chow on this film, so I merged the Jackie Chow HKMDB page with his main Chow Kong page.
