For several years after the biggest run of her career, Moon Choi, known in Korea as Choi Hee-seo, kept her trophies out of sight.

The haul was substantial. Her turn as Japanese anarchist Kaneko Fumiko in “Anarchist from Colony” swept Korea’s new actress prizes, and her lead role in independent feature “Our Body,” which bowed in Toronto, earned her Busan International Film Festival’s Actress of the Year honor in 2018. By her own count, two films brought her 14 awards in a single year. She was around 30.
