Cho was born in Amarillo, Texas to Korean-Americanparents and was raised in San Antonio and Plano, Texas. Growing up in areas with few ethnic minorities, she often felt like an outsider. As a child, she was bullied and was hospitalized twice for injuries after being physically attacked. She later attended high school at Apple Valley, Minnesota. Cho attended the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign with intentions of becoming a lawyer. It was there that she took her first drama classes and developed an interest in the profession. There, she also became more exposed to the Asian American culture at large; she also participated in Asian American Association's Fashion Show. She graduated with a degree in psychology in 2007 and spent the following summer on a medical missionary trip in Kenya.
