Professional wrestling career
Early life
Choi first became interested in a career in professional wrestling when he was a child, being a lifelong fan of the sport. He began training in the South Korea Pro Wrestling Dojo after being scouted by a trainer while he was doing athletics in high school. After training in the dojo for a number of months, the 16-year-old Choi began working for SKPW but he eventually left the dojo in 2010 after he was accidentally injured during a practice match. In 2011, Choi enrolled in university, but dropped out during his first year in order to fully concentrate on making a career out of professional wrestling.
