His parents worked at Atlantic City casinos, and his brother, Jason Joo, is an officer in the United States Navy.
A friend arranged an audition for Brothers Entertainment without Joo's knowledge while attending Holy Spirit High School. Several Korean-Americans who want to work in South Korea have joined the company and are looking for a career in entertainment. After many months of preparation, he was sent to SM Entertainment in South Korea, and on December 9, 1999, he made his debut as one of the two founding members of Fly to the Sky, alongside Hwanhee, at the age of 17.
Joo was accepted to Rutgers University but did not attend due to the demands of his music career. He later attended Dongguk University, where he graduated from the Department of Theatre and Film.
