Choi Yun-hui (Шаблон:Korean; born 1 September 1967) is a South Korean swimmer who served as the 2nd Vice Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism under President Moon Jae-in from 2019 to 2020.[1] She is the first woman and second professional sports player[2] to become deputy head of the Ministry or of its preceding agencies. She competed in two events at the 1984 Summer Olympics.[3][4]

Choi is the younger sister of Choi Yun-jung,[lower-alpha 1] who also competed internationally for South Korea in swimming. The two were nicknamed the "Seal Sisters", and were noted frequently for both breaking national backstroke records at the same time.[5] Choi began learning to swim while in kindergarten through lessons at the YMCA.[6] Both sisters attended Seoul National University Middle School,[lower-alpha 2] and represented their school in swimming at the national level.[7] Following the 1984 Olympics, she won gold in the 100 m and 200 m backstroke at the 1986 Asian Games.[8]

In 1987, she became the first South Korean model for the Japanese sports drink brand Pocari Sweat.[9] In 2017, she was named the first ever woman to become board member of the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee.[10][3]

Choi holds both a bachelor's and a master's degree from Yonsei University in physical education.[1]
