Article from Rediff about Cho Seung-hui:
Cho Seung-hui (pronounced Joh Sung-Wee. His family name is Cho) was an ordinary, 23-year-old from Centreville, Virginia, 30 miles from Washington, DC, close to Dulles International Airport.
He was the son of Korean immigrants who ran/worked in a drycleaning business in Centreville. His brother — some media reports say sister — a graduate of Princeton, worked for the State Department. The family moved to the US in 1992 when Cho was eight. Before moving to the US the family was not too well off and rented a basement apartment in Seoul. According to their Seoul landlord they sought a better life and anonymity in America according to many news reports.
