Two months after, she became an interim anchor for JTBC News Morning& when Hwang Nam-hee went on maternity leave. She would then become the host for JTBC Newsroom's sports segment until 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 18 April 2016, succeeding Han Yoon-ji and becoming the longest-serving female anchor in the newscast's history.
