Jo Byung Kyoo is a South Korean actor born in Seoul. He attended Anyang Arts High School and Seoul National University of the Arts as an acting major until he dropped out. He is currently signed to HB Entertainment.

He initially dreamed of becoming a soccer player, going so far as to move to New Zealand when he was in middle school. However, due to the difficulties he faced and the waning interest in the sport, despite the opposition he faced from his parents, he returned to Korea at the end of his second year of middle school. On the recommendation of his father, he entered Anyang Arts High School. He began acting in plays like Hamlet and Othello to build his acting career.

He made his debut in "Who Are You: School 2015". After acting in smaller roles since 2015, he rose in popularity for his characters in "Sky Castle" and "Hot Stove League", in which from the latter he won "Best New Actor" in the 2020 SBS Drama Awards. In 2020, he got his first main actor role in "The Uncanny Counter". Edit Biography
