Jo met her husband-to-be through a colleague in early 2009. He works in the finance industry. Initially, they stayed in touch through text messages. They grew closer in August this year and introduced each other to their parents last weekend. Jo did not reveal his name and age and said they both want to continue their professional careers.

Since joining KBS in 2005, Jo hosted many programs including the news. In October she won a commendation from the minister of health and welfare for her decade-long activity with a charity group called INKAS, which assists adopted children and their new families. Jo has been a member of the group since she was a student at Seoul National University.
