Sharon Choi (born Choi Sung-jae; 1994 or 1995) is a South Korean[1][2] interpreter and film director. She came to prominence as director Bong Joon-ho's Korean–English interpreter during the 2019–2020 film awards season, which saw Bong's film Parasite winning the Palme d'Or and the Academy Award for Best Picture. During both ceremonies and others, Choi assisted Bong and other Parasite cast and crew members, such as actor Song Kang-ho, in delivering award acceptance speeches. During such appearances, Choi's interpreting skills garnered significant media attention and praise.

Choi later served as a dialect coach for actress Greta Lee on the 2023 film Past Lives, which was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.
