I began my career as a journalist at SBS in 2005. I covered stories on the ground, asking questions and getting interviews that I used to write articles and news reports. Sometimes, on days of heavy rain or snow, or when big stories broke, I stood in front of the cameras myself to give live reports. I watched, listened, and put down into words the things I saw and heard: stories about local incidents and accidents for the social affairs division, stories about athletes giving it their all for the sports division, stories about money and figures for the economic affairs division, and stories about words—and the people who said them—for the political affairs team. It was my dream to be a reporter from a very young age, but I didn’t imagine I would one day be a news anchor. I began as a Saturday morning news anchor six years ago, before going on to give the weekday morning news, and then the eight o’clock news on weekend evenings. Today, I give the weekday evening news, presenting viewers with the stories my colleagues have worked long and hard to put together. The longer I do this, the more I continue to learn about what it means to present the news in a way that is both informative and easy to understand.
