Her father, Roh Tae-woo is a former South Korean politician and ROK Army general who served as the 6th President of South Korea from 1988 to 1993. She has a younger brother, Jaehun Ro, who is a lawyer in the United States. In 1988, Roh married the chairman of the South Korean group SK Corporation, Chey Tae-won, and has two daughters and a son. In December 2015, Soh and Chey divorced. She attended ko in Seoul, South Korea, and then went to the United States for further education, attending the College of William & Mary in Virginia as an undergraduate and doing graduate work in economics at the University of Chicago. Then, she gained her master's degree in education from Stanford University in California before returning to South Korea for graduate study in Media Communication at Yonsei University in Seoul. In 2018, South Korean media published an interview with two victims who said Roh verbally abused her personal drivers. Two anonymous individuals who had worked as personal chauffeurs since 2007 stated that they experienced verbal abuse and violent behaviour such as throwing objects inside the vehicle. Further revelations from a gym staff and her former secretary followed. However, Roh, the Director of the Nabi Art Center, embroiled in controversy over mistreatment by a chauffeur, expressed her feelings. In response, she revealed her state of mind through another media outlet, saying, "How can someone who throws things and uses foul language live like this... You can understand what I mean if you think about it." Park Young-sik, a lawyer representing Director Roh also stated the following. "Everything is not true. It is highly subjective, so it is inappropriate to respond to each claim." The controversy surrounding Director Roh has been extensively covered by most media outlets, following the lead of the Hankyoreh newspaper.
