In mid-2018 Creative Artists Agency reached out and signed him coinciding with an already planned move to Los Angeles to continue his career as a voice actor.

In 2017 Cho starred in his first live action role as the main character, Detective Joe Furuya, in Crunchyroll's Anime Crimes Division, for which he was nominated for Best Acting in a Comedy for the 8th Streamy Awards. Cho shifted his focus to his YouTube channel, his audience following from Vine and having his work often appear on the frontpage of Reddit. He remained active on Vine until the 2016 announcement of their shutdown and was also a finalist for the 9th Shorty Awards for Vine of the Year. His first foray into professional voice acting occurred when voice director Deven Mack saw one of his YouTube videos and had him audition for Apotheon, where he ended up securing the role of the main villain Zeus. In October 2012, Cho began daily posting voice content to Tumblr, building an audience and eventually going viral with a video of him singing ' Let It Go' from Frozen as Goofy. In 2012, after graduating, he described himself as being 'in a creative rut' and taught English as a second language to Korean immigrant students. He attended Michigan State University, where he frequently acted in live performances and graduated in 2012 with a degree in Media Information and Technology. He started voice acting in high school when he voiced different characters on a friend's radio plays. SungWon Cho was born to Korean parents in Minnesota on December 9, 1990, and later moved to DeWitt, Michigan.
