"KO" does not exist as the formula for any chemical compound that is stable at standard temperature and pressure. It could be the empirical formula for potassium peroxide, for which the actual formula is K2O2. More likely, however, the questioner intended it to represent potassium oxide, for which the proper formula is K2O. Potassium oxide is ionic.

Ionic because the compound contains potassium (metal) and oxygen/hydrogen (non-metals) :)

Actually, KOH is an ionic lattice which contains K+ and OH-. O and H atoms are bonded covalently though.
