Ahn Na-kyung (Korean: 안나경; born 10 October 1989) is a South Korean anchor. She is the current co-anchor for JTBC flagship newscast JTBC Newsroom.

Biography[edit]

Ahn joined JTBC in 2014 as an announcer.[1] During her final interview, Sohn Suk-hee asked her what she'll do if she fails the announcer exam, of which she answered: "I'll find ways to work here, even if it means becoming a janitress." 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.

Ahn has also done special appearances in JTBC variety shows Hidden Singer and Knowing Bros, as well as a guest appearance in Abnormal Summit.[2]
