Koreans Update Project - Choe Soon-seok

Postby J.J.Hayden » Tue Sep 19, 2023 2:42 pm

This one's a bit bigger than the last ones but still surprisingly short. It was a bit tangled because of the various names for the same actor, it really threw me off a few years ago (in the early days :P ), had me chasing my tail for quite a while and was what set me off on creating my Hanja database to translate old style Korean posters and films.

He had three different pages on HKMDB (and 2 on all Korean sites :x ), Choe Soon-seok, Yoo So-jeon and Liu Hsiao-tien. I merged all into Choe, as this is his most recently used name and also the most frequent. I've only seen him use the stage name Yoo So-jeon (in Chinese Liu Hsiao-tein) on his two starring roles: Dreadnaught Rivals, and Duel Of Ultimate Weapons. The name is a mix of LIU chi-liang and Yuen HSIAO-TIEN, both who played Beggar So, who appears in both these films as a character, no doubt trying to cash in on their names.

It's a bit surprising how few martial arts films he did considering his skills, but I'll still do bio on him at some point. Obviously I merged all the data from the duplicate pages and then removed them. I added as much to his basic info as possible and added him to the cast of the two films he had no credit on yet. I ID'd him in all four films and as requested by Gaijin84 updated the images of him that already existed there. I'm also playing some of my films in the background while doing research to try and get some character names, which I was able to do with all four of his films.
