Source-derived summary

SungWon Cho ( SUNG-wun; Korean: 조성원; born December 9, 1990), also known as ProZD, is an American YouTuber and actor. On his YouTube channel, Cho produces short comedy skits, unboxing videos, and reviews of board games, anime and snack foods. He is also known for his many voice acting roles, including FL4K from Borderlands 3, Holst Sigiswald Goneril from Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, Ratatoskr from God of War Ragnarök, Abby Saja from KPop Demon Hunters, and Senshi from Delicious in Dungeon. His live-action roles include Detective Joe Furuya in Anime Crimes Division and Ritchie Cheung in BlackBerry.

Early life

Cho was born to South Korean parents in Rochester, Minnesota, on December 9, 1990, and later moved to DeWitt, Michigan. He started voice acting in high school when he voiced different characters on a friend's radio plays. He attended Michigan State University, where he frequently acted in live performances and graduated in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Media Information and Technology. In 2012, after graduating, he described himself as being "in a creative rut" and taught English as a second language to Korean immigrant students.

Career

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 while approximating the voice of Goofy. 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.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“SungWon Cho” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, SungWon, South and Korean-American provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q76826629. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1990 and 2012.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
