Jo took an interest in football from a young age, first playing at the Daedong Elementary School in 2014. He was recruited by Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors ahead of the 2016 season, and spent six full seasons with the North Jeolla Province-based club.[2]
In March 2022, after FIFA intervention, Jo signed an amateur contract with Turkish side Fenerbahçe.[2] Since joining, he has already trained with the first team.[3]
Jo has represented South Korea at under-17 level.[1]
A technically gifted player, Jo has been likened to former Spanish international David Silva for his dribbling ability and range of passes.[4]
