He made his debut in June 2007 as FT ISLAND's leader, guitarist, keyboardist and bassist with their first studio album, "Cheerful Sensibility".

A few days later, he admitted to spreading hidden camera photos taken without consent and also filming illegally hidden camera footage. He was charged with one count of sharing personally taken illegal footage and five counts of sharing footage from other sources. The band's agency, FNC Entertainment (FNC엔터테인먼트), immediately removed him from FT ISLAND and named Lee Hong Ki as the new leader. In the same month, a woman came forward to SBS funE, claiming that five men, including Choi, had raped her after she was intoxicated in March 2016 and then shared the footage in a group chat. He denied the allegation but admitted that he and the woman were together on that day. In May 2019, he was arrested on the gang rape allegations and was indicted on the charge of taking part in a gang rape in 2016. In November 2019, he was sentenced to five years in prison, but in May 2020, the Seoul High Court reduced his sentence fro Watch drama online for free.
