Mi-Jung Lee

Mi-Jung Lee (born September 12, 1966[1]) (Korean: 이미정; RR: I Mijeong; born in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do, South Korea[2]) is a Korean Canadian television personality, based in Vancouver, British Columbia. She currently co-anchors the weeknight 6pm newscast alongside Scott Roberts on CTV Vancouver.

She moved with her family from South Korea to Vancouver at age 4,[3][4] and graduated from Sir Charles Tupper Secondary School in 1984. She then completed a degree in English literature at the University of British Columbia, and later a degree in journalism at Ryerson University.[3][4]

She began her on-air career in 1990 as a reporter and part-time anchor at CHEK-TV in Victoria, then moved to CHAN-TV (BCTV, then CTV's Vancouver affiliate) in 1992 and served in similar capacities,[3][4] eventually anchoring that station's News Hour Final weeknights until 1998. That year she joined CIVT-TV (then independent station VTV) as 6pm news co-anchor alongside Paul Mennier.[3][4] When CIVT became a CTV owned-and-operated station as part of the 2001 Vancouver TV realignment, Lee became anchor and producer of the station's 11:30pm newscast.[3][4] She also briefly co-hosted the Western Canada edition of CTV's national breakfast television program Canada AM from January 2008 until its cancellation in June that year.[3][5][6] She returned to CIVT's weeknight 6pm newscast as co-anchor in August 2018, after Mike Killeen and Tamara Taggart were let go from the station earlier that year.[7]

Lee has appeared as a reporter or news anchor in several TV shows and films including Snakes on a Plane, X-Men: The Last Stand, Tron: Legacy, Hot Rod and Watchmen.[1]

gollark: This is NOT true. I have not in any way been sponsored by pizza companies. There have been no advertising agreements whatsoever with any companies producing pizza or otherwise to have me subliminally advertise pizza, as my profile picture is not a pizza. Since it is not a pizza, this is obviously not pizza advertisement whatsoever. No monetary exchanges or otherwise have occurred with companies engaged in pizza production for any reason relating to my profile picture. You are clearly engaged in libel and attempting to discredit my non-pizza-advertising status. It is IN NO WAY subliminal pizza advertising because I DO NOT work for pizza companies in any form. It's not pizza. There were no deals, under-the-table or otherwise, with pizza companies. No pizza companies pay for any kind of subliminal advertising involving me. People make that mistake, but I am not working for pizza companies doing subliminal advertising; that is not in any way what I am doing. I am NOT being sponsored by ANY pizza companies to display subliminal pizza advertising OF ANY KIND.
