Life
Cho was one of two sons born to father Sungman Cho and mother Honglan; he has an older brother, Mark. His father works as a painting contractor, while his mother is a nurse with the intensive care unit of a Kaiser Permanente-run hospital. He walked with a severe limp due to a lifelong leg disability. He graduated from Walnut High School before going on to attend the University of California, Los Angeles. His passions were music, sculpture, drawing, and ceramics; he went to South Korea to study traditional Korean ceramic art after receiving a bachelor's degree from UCLA in 2005. He planned to apply to a master's program in art at Yale University, with the aim of becoming a professor. Outside of his studies, he was active in his church, at which he taught art to children with disabilities.
