Choi Yoon Rye

Ordinary people ask “Why did men choose a path that is difficult for them to take?”

1000㏄ Superbike The only female athlete in Korea, Hong Il-jeom pro rider, beauty pro racer… . It is a modifier that always follows Choi Yoon-rye (30). he says proudly. “Those who take on challenges are beautiful.”

I met him for the first time at a cafe in front of Hyochang Park in Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 27th when it rained. Contrary to the image of a somewhat rough superbike, his first impression was that he looked thin.

Maybe it's because I got soaked in the rain during the photo shoot for the interview. However, the more interviews he did, the more unstoppable he was.

“A superbike? It's nice to just ride. It's become a job rather than a hobby, but it's nice to be able to look back on myself even if my grades are bad.”

Choi is the only female among 200 superbikers in Korea. She is an example that is hard to find even in Far East Asia.

Starting with a 125㏄ motorcycle in 1995 when he was a high school student, he fell in love with the 'taste' of motorcycles and started his racer activities in earnest in 2003.

Choi is the only female among 200 superbikers in Korea. She is an example that is hard to find even in Far East Asia.

Starting with a 125㏄ motorcycle in 1995 when he was a high school student, he fell in love with the 'taste' of motorcycles and started his racer activities in earnest in 2003.

He saved money by working part-time while cutting sleep to buy a motorcycle.

“After graduating from high school, I became obsessed with motorcycles. I gave up my pride to ride a motorcycle.”

It is fortunate (?) that her father, who secretly sold motorcycles to Choi, is now a strong supporter.

So far, Choi has participated in more than 20 domestic and international competitions.

At the Taebaek Championships in Gangwon-do in August 2005, he competed with players from China, Japan, Thailand and Singapore and proudly placed 4th.

He doesn't care even at speeds of more than 290 km/h. Rather, I feel pleasure.

Her feminine charm is second to none. Male fans are delighted with her racing suit that fits her 176cm tall and slender body, and her long hair that falls down to her shoulders when she takes off her helmet.

The number of fan cafe members reaches 3,000, and he drives people around.

Still, he says 2% is not enough. Is it because he is greedy?

As much as a pro rider, his attachment to acting is extraordinary. In the meantime, he has appeared in many movies and dramas. It is regrettable that all of them are minor roles or substitutes, but considering his career as the main model for Korean cosmetics 'Prena' in 2004, it seemed difficult to handle his innate talent (?) as much as his appearance.

He briefly worked in a production last year, but now he is taking acting lessons on his own. It seems that it will not be long before we see him beyond the stadium and at the broadcasting station.

Throughout the interview, he chattered incessantly. He asked if he had any other hobbies just in case.

“I also like water skiing, skiing, snowboarding and billiards. Ho ho ho.”

Maybe it's the 2nd generation chaebol? His answer back is 'no'. “It’s a secret, but I have my own know-how. First of all, you have to be friendly. Then he gives you two rides for one ride.”

The youngest of 2 boys and 2 girls, he is a bride who got married last April after 10 months of meeting through the introduction of a member of his team as fast as the speed of a bike.
