Jo studied modeling and events management at Chunnam Techno University. He later enrolled as a Theater and Film major at Dongguk University, but was expelled in 2007 due to inadequate class attendance.[7]

Career[edit]

1998–2002: Beginnings and rise to fame[edit]

Jo made his entertainment debut in 1998 as a model for clothing brand Ziozia.[6] He began his acting career in 1999 through the MBC sitcom Jump, and in 2000, starred in the teen drama School 3 and in the second season of the sitcom Nonstop.[8]

Jo first drew notice with a supporting role in the 2001 television drama Piano, co-starring Go Soo and Kim Ha-neul.[9] He was then cast in his first drama leading role in 2002, as an illiterate actor in Shoot for the Stars opposite Jeon Do-yeon.[10] The same year, he made his film debut in the movie Public Toilet.[11] He also starred in several music videos of popular boy band g.o.d, a fellow SidusHQ artiste at that time, and was directed by actor Jung Woo-sung.[12]

2003–2008: Mainstream popularity[edit]

In 2003, Jo starred in three romantic films, most notably Kwak Jae-yong's The Classic, with Son Ye-jin and Cho Seung-woo.[13]

In 2004, he returned to television in the melodrama Something Happened in Bali, alongside Ha Ji-won and So Ji-sub.[14] Something Happened was a huge success, with its final episode reaching a peak rating of 39.7%. Jo won Best Actor awards at both the Baeksang Arts Awards and SBS Drama Awards.[15]

In 2005, he starred opposite Go Hyun-jung in her comeback drama Spring Day, a remake of the Japanese drama Hoshi no Kinka ("Heaven's Coins").[16]

Jo collaborated with renowned director Yoo Ha in his next two films: 2006's A Dirty Carnival, in which he played a charismatic small-time gangster who seeks a happier life;[17][18] and 2008's A Frozen Flower, a Goryeo-period film where his royal bodyguard character is caught in a love triangle between the king and the queen.[19][20]

2009–2012: Enlistment[edit]

On April 7, 2009, Jo enlisted for his two-year mandatory military service; he reportedly wanted to join the Air Force to follow in the footsteps of his father, who served as a non-commissioned officer.[21][22][23] He served 25 months in the Air Force and the Air Force military band, and was discharged on May 4, 2011.[24][25]

Upon the expiry of his contract with talent agency SidusHQ, Jo joined IOK Company in March 2012.[26]

In 2013, he co-starred in the melodrama That Winter, the Wind Blows alongside Song Hye-kyo,[27][28] a remake of the Japanese drama Forget Love (愛なんていらねえよ、夏, Ai nante Irane yo, Natsu).[29] The drama placed number one in its time slot during most of its run, and Jo and Song were praised for their performances.[30][31] A year later, Jo reunited with Winter's writer and director in SBS' medical melodrama It's Okay, That's Love opposite Gong Hyo-jin.[32][33] Jo won the Daesang (Grand Prize), the highest honor for television at the APAN Star Awards.[34]
