life

Choe was born in Gijang-gun, Dongrae on 17 November 1888.
He graduated from Pyongyang Missionary School (Korean: 평양신학교) in 1926, and became a priest for Dongraeeup Church.
In 1933 he moved to Namhaeeup Church, and in 1937 became a President of Gyeongsangnam-do Presbyterian Conference (Korean: 경상남도노회장)
Starting from October 1938, Choe refused to participate in worship of the Japanese Emperor, which was required by law in the 1930s (see Christianity in Korea: Korean nationalism), then he initiated the movement of antagonism towards Japanese Shinto Shrine worship by focusing on Namhae area.
As the movement of antagonism towards Japanese Shinto Shrine worship was prohibited by the Japanese colonial power during that time, Choe was eventually arrested and placed under the prison of Pyongyang with other anti-Japanese Shrine worship activists.
On 6 May 1945, due to the remnant of harsh torturing, Choe eventually died in the prison.
In 1991, the government of South Korea conferred the Order of Merit for National Foundation on Choe Sang-rim
