Hello - my name is Cher!

I love telling stories. Whether it’s for print, digital, TV, or in the Metaverse.

I'm a news and edutainment enthusiast who found interest in TV journalism watching South Korean broadcasts when I lived there sporadically in my youth. I’m a proud Korean-American.

What do I do currently?

Right now, I am a national news producer and host of “Gamer Galaxy” podcast at NewsNation.

My goal is to pioneer the digital space of storytelling… as there is so much we don’t know! There is so much potential to engage with the audience and tell a more compelling story in a more compelling method. I have been an early believer of the YouTube space, and other social media platforms to capture an audience. And starting to learn the possibilites in Web 3.0.

Where have I worked in the past?

I have previously worked at NTV News (KHGI) as a bureau reporter in Grand Island, Nebraska; a bilingual (Korean-English) segment producer at KBC News Magazine in Chicago; a multi-talented producer & on-air/ digital reporter at KXRM FOX 21 News in Colorado Springs, Morning News Producer in Denver at Fox31/ Channel 2, and a producer-reporter on Denver’s #1 morning lifestyle show “Great Day Colorado”.

I have been nominated for two Crystal Pillar Awards from the Upper Midwest Emmy Chapter.

When did I know I wanted to be a journalist?

The Sewol ferry incident coverage by Son Suk-Hee at JTBC News and the team's diligent work to uncover the unjust perspective of the South Korean public as well as the bigger governmental problem was inspirational for me. I want to mirror great journalism like this in the lifestyle sphere (I know, tricky task).

     I also have a special place in my heart for entertainment shows that are also educational. I used to watch Korean game shows that incorporate intellectual expertise or educational experiments that were influential to my education of the world.  I hope to be able to produce shows that have a similar impact on others as it did on me. 

In my free time…

I like to watch documentaries and try to keep up with the latest Netflix or other platforms’ latest releases; play video games; read something that’ll help me learn something new; and explore new places and meet new people… as long as I have permission from my chatty tortie (cat) named Primrose.

I have my own curiosity podcast that I try to keep up with when I have time called “Clueless and Curious” plus I love listening to podcasts while doing my chores.

Sometimes I ponder the meaning of life and like to entertain theories from others.

Hobbies I like: dance, singing, learning guitar, painting, trying to crochet, running!
