Oh is the second daughter of former baseball player and Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks team manager Sadaharu Oh.[1] She graduated from Aoyama Gakuin University in Tokyo,[2] and is also qualified as a "Junior vegetable and fruit meister" or "Vegetable sommelier".[2][3] She worked for the Hakuhodo advertising agency before moving to TV in 1996.[3]

Rie Oh holds Taiwanese citizenship because her father did not want his daughters to become naturalized Japanese, although neither could speak Chinese.[4][full citation needed]
