Biography
Choi Eun-hee (November 20, 1926 – April 16, 2018) was a South Korean actress, who was one of the country's most popular stars of the 1960s and 1970s. In 1978, Choi and her then ex-husband, movie director Shin Sang-ok, were abducted to North Korea, where they were forced to make films until they sought asylum at the US Embassy in Vienna in 1986. They returned to South Korea in 1999 after spending a decade in the United States.
