The Korea Times interviewed MTV’s SuChin Pak, the first Asian-American face and correspondent for MTV Networks. She has interviewed all the music luminaries we’ve heard of and she has supported multiple Korean-American causes.
“What I do every day is really a dream job,’’ says Pak. “The experience is indescribable.’’
Since joining MTV as a news correspondent in 2001, Pak has covered the MTV Movie Awards, the Sundance Film Festival and the MTV Video Music Awards, to name but a few. Besides her entertainment coverage, she hosted her own documentary series and reported on major events including September 11 and the Haiti Earthquake.
Unlike typical news jobs, the nature of Pak’s work requires great versatility to quickly switch gears from touring celebrity homes to covering the presidential election.
“There is really nothing that can prepare you for a job like this,’’ said the 34-year-old. “Everyday is different and because MTV is such a huge and global brand, it’s all about how you figure out your voice.’’
