Biography
Ahn joined JTBC in 2014 as an announcer.[1] During her final interview, when Sohn Suk-hee asked her what she would do if she failed the announcer exam, she replied: "I'll find ways to work here, even if it means becoming a janitress." Two months later, she became an interim anchor for JTBC News Morning& while Hwang Nam-hee was on maternity leave. She then hosted JTBC Newsroom's sports segment before becoming the new sub-anchor for its weekend edition in 2015, succeeding Lee Ji-eun. Soon after, she became the new sub-anchor for its weekday edition on April 18, 2016, succeeding Han Yoon-ji and becoming the longest-serving female anchor in the newscast's history.
Ahn has also made special appearances in JTBC variety shows Hidden Singer and Knowing Bros, as well as a guest appearance in Abnormal Summit.[2]
