Choi Kyoung-rok
South Korean association football player
Darren Choi Kyoung-rok (Korean: 최경록; born 15 March 1995) is a South Korean professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Gwangju FC.
Club career
Previously having played football for the Ajou University team, Choi moved to Germany and joined FC St. Pauli in 2014. While still playing for the club's under-19 team, in January 2014, he extended his expiring contract until 2015 including a one-year extension option. From this moment on, he also participated in the first team's training.
Choi made his 2. Bundesliga debut for St. Pauli's first team on 6 April 2015 in a match against Fortuna Düsseldorf, scoring a brace within the first 16 minutes of the game.
In May 2018, Karlsruher SC, newly relegated to the 3. Liga, announced Choi would join for the 2018–19 season having agreed a three-year contract until 2021.

Why this record matters
The phrase “south Korean association football player” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q19657512. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1995, 2014, 2015 and 2018.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
