Anchor Han Min-yong is leaving 'Newsroom' to prepare for childbirth.
JTBC announced on the 24th, "Anchor Han Min-yong will host 'Newsroom' until August 1, and from August 4, anchors Oh Dae-young and Lee Soo-jin will take over the hosting."
Anchor Han Min-yong, who married JTBC colleague Kim Min-kwan in 2021, revealed her pregnancy last month.
At that time, she expressed her feelings on social media, saying, "It seems that a pregnant anchor is still a strange sight in our country. In fact, I also feel a bit unfamiliar and awkward with my changing appearance," adding, "I am a little worried if the viewers will feel the same. I hope it will be accepted naturally."
Anchor Han Min-yong holds the titles of the longest-serving weekend anchor in JTBC history, the first female main anchor on weekdays, and the youngest anchor.
