Profile
Biography
Jo Sung Mo was born in Seoul in 1977.
Shortly after high school, he was part of a dance group called 4004 (also called 4Angels). The dance group never had an official debut before disbanding.
Jo Sung Mo debuted in September of 1998. He chose an unconventional method of releasing no information about the album or himself featuring actors (Lee Byeong Heon and Kim Ha Neul) in his debut instead of personally appearing in the video. It was became known as the "mysterious concept",[1]
His gamble paid off, and he became widely popular. Listed as one of the top sellers of Korean albums of all time, he earned the title "Crown Prince of Ballads".
Jo Sung Mo entered mandatory enlistment on 30 March 2006, and completed his service on 23 May 2008.
Jo Sung Mo got married in 2010 to former model and designer, Goo Min Ji. They met in 2007 and dated for 3 years prior. They had their first child, a boy, on 26 October 2015.
His fanclub goes by the name Mariaontro
Controversy
In 2015, Jo was taken to court over breech of contract and substandard performances for his 2014-2015 concert tour. He was originally agreed to hold 18 concerts, but he stopped after 16 due to a discrepancy with the performance agency over money. On 25 October 2015, the Seoul Central District Court ruled against Jo and ordered him to pay 100 million won ($890,000 US) to the production house.
