Ko was born in Chicago and alternately grew up in Taiwan and Atlanta. Ko is of Taiwanese descent and has discussed the issue of limited roles for Asian actors in the United States. Her role of Emma on The Great Indoors was originally written to be a blond woman, but her agent was able to get Ko an audition. After her audition, the producers changed their original idea of Emma's appearance. Ko said "I think that's true diversity. You're just like everybody else. You just look Asian" adding "It's the norm and how we all live. We just haven't seen it in Hollywood yet."[2][3]
