Ghana's Ambassador-designate to South Korea, Kojo Choi, has stated that he is a Ghanaian citizen and holds no other nationality, following public debate over his appointment.
Speaking in an interview on Channel One TV on August 12, 2025, Choi revealed that although he was born to Korean parents, he moved to Ghana at the age of 14 and was naturalised in 1999.
He attended SOS Hermann Gmeiner International School in Tema before furthering his studies at the University of Ghana.
His nomination by President sparked controversy, with some questioning the decision to appoint a person of Korean descent to represent Ghana in South Korea.
