Choong won his first international title with his partner Toh Ee Wei at the Polish Open in March.[5] Two months later, the pair went on to win two more consecutive titles at the Slovenian International[6] and the Austrian Open.[7][8]
In February, Choong began partnering Goh Sze Fei in men's doubles following a reshuffle in the national men's doubles department.[1] In the following month, they reached the final of their first outing together at the Thailand International but lost out narrowly to top seeds Chaloempon Charoenkitamorn and Nanthakarn Yordphaisong in rubber game.[9] In May, he made his debut at the 2023 SEA Games where he helped Malaysia win a silver medal in the men's team event.[10] In June, Choong and Goh's partnership were dissolved after Goh reunited with his former partner.[11]
In August, he began partnering Muhammad Haikal in men's doubles.[12] In October, Choong and his mixed doubles partner, Go Pei Kee, reached their first final together at the Indonesia International in Surabaya but were defeated in three games.[13] A week later, he and Haikal entered the final of Indonesia Masters II and finished as the runners-up.[14] In December, Choong and Haikal competed at the Syed Modi International. En route to their first BWF World Tour title, they defeated the second and top seeds in the semi-finals[15] and final, respectively.[16] The following week, they won another title at the Guwahati Masters.[17]
In late January, he was chosen to represent Malaysia's men's team at the 2024 Asia Team Championships.[18] In March, he and Haikal clinched their third title at the Orléans Masters.[19]
