Choi and his wife had one son and four daughters including an actor, Choi Min-soo. However, Choi had an affair with Kim Ji-mee, the best popular actress at that time, so that Choi and Gang divorced in 1962.

At that time, the phrase, Because I love you, I have to part from her was circulated among the public.
