Perspective
Han graduated from high school in Beijing, China. She received her bachelor's degree in arts and economics in Peking University. She also finished a master's degree in finance at City University of New York.
Han started her career in 2013 as a reporter in MBN covering the police, local prosecution and law until she joined JTBC in 2017. In JTBC, she was a part of the legal team. Han became a trending topic on Naver after successfully reporting a piece about Kim Kwan-jin being in custody.[2]
Han succeeded Lee Ji-eun as sub-anchor in the weekend edition of JTBC Newsroom, starting on 3 August 2018,[3] just less than a year after joining the network. She then ascended to main anchor on 10 January 2020[4] after Kim Pil-kyu left his position to become the new head of the political team. This makes her only the second female to become main anchor of a JTBC newscast, the first sole female anchor of a JTBC flagship newscast, and one of only two female anchors of a news or current affairs program in the network. She also hosts the segment Open Mic, where she goes out to conduct field reports and interviews.
She was previously a member of the network's legal and political team, and is currently a member of the weekend coverage team.
Han plays the piano.
Han did a cameo as an anchor in the JTBC News-produced short film Starting Line made in light of the 2020 South Korean legislative elections.
