Club career
Ulsan
Choi joined Ulsan Hyundai, the K-League giant in 2003. Ulsan placed second in the league that season. In 2005, he was loaned out to J. League side Kashiwa Reysol, but after a 5-month disappointing spell, he returned to Ulsan. Following his return, Ulsan won the league that year. Choi also became the top scorer for the Hauzen Cup, which is the Korean League Cup. It seemed definite that Choi would become Ulsan's icon, but he moved to Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma, which made many Ulsan supporters extremely angry at the board.
Seongnam
Choi helped Seongnam become the runner-up that season. However, after his disappointing 2008 season Choi announced he would join the army in 2009, which angered many Seongnam fans. He moved to Gwangju Sangmu, the army team at the beginning of the 2009 season. There, his partnership with Kim Myung-Joong was the core of Gwangju's surprising performance.
In late 2010, he returned to Seongnam and participated in the 2010 FIFA Club World Cup. He scored in the quarterfinal against United Arab Emirates side Al-Wahda.
Suwon
Choi moved to Suwon Samsung Bluewings prior to the 2011 season.
Choi was implicated in a match-fixing scandal while playing for the military team, Sangmu. He denied his involvement when media reports raised the allegations about throwing matches, but soon admitted it as the scandal deepened. Consequently, he was tentatively dropped from his team.
It was officially announced in August 2011 that he would not be able to play in the all league systems in South Korea permanently.
Rabotnički
On 16 January 2012, it was announced that Choi would join Macedonian side FK Rabotnički[1] It was to be his first club in Europe of his career. However, his move fell through after the Football Federation of Macedonia rejected the player's registration after K-League revealed Choi had been banned from playing professional football in any league by FIFA.[2] As of 16 March 2012, Choi Sung-Kuk future football career is in doubt.
