Biography Ji-In Cho began an extensive musical education, including piano lessons, when she was six years old. Later she studied Music (Cologne music academy) and Theology (University of Cologne). In 2003, Cho was unwittingly registered by a friend to the German edition of the Fame Academy television show for musical talents.

In the end she became a member of the band Become One that was formed by successful contestants of the show. Since December 2004, Cho has been the lead singer of the band Krypteria, whose single "Liberatio" was used for a charity campaign in aid of the tsunami victims in Southeast Asia.
