Suyung Cho was born in Seoul, South Korea, and spent her elementary years in Michigan and Pennsylvania. The diverse scenery and wildlife of North America and a childhood spent reading from science books and fiction inspired her to express what she learned using visual art. After returning to Korea and attending university Suyung was introduced to distemper paint, a type of paint used in traditional Korean art, which prompted her to explore and reinterpret the myths and symbolism of her birthplace.

​

Suyung had received her Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of English Language & Literature at Korea University. In 2020, she had illustrated the Korean translation for Seeds of Science, originally written by Mark Lynas, and have participated in multiple group and solo-booth exhibitions since.
