SuChin Pak joined the MTV News Team as a correspondent in May of 2001. SuChin delivered the news for the network’s flagship, live show, “Total Request Live.”  Over the years, she’s interviewed some of Pop Culture’s biggest names, co-hosted the MTV Video Music Awards, the Movie Awards and Grammy Pre-shows.  SuChin has been on the red carpet for the Oscars, Golden Globes and the Sundance Film Festival.  Most recently, she’s reported for MTV’s Choose or Lose campaign, traveling the country to cover the presidential election, youth voting issues and political activism.

SuChin is most proud of her work as the host and co-producer of the documentary series, “My Life Translated.”  A personal, narrative doc series for MTV, the show follows the lives of young people, struggling with two different cultures, as they deal with immigrant identity in America.  The series was recently highlighted on the “Oprah Winfrey Show.”

Most recently, SuChin has signed on to Planet Green, Discovery Channel’s new television network about the environment.  She will be hosting G Word, a daily, hour-long news program for Planet Green.

And now she’s adding Girl Scouts of the USA to her list of passions, as she travels around the country promoting self-esteem and self-confidence among girls. As a spokesperson for the Girl Scouts/Dove self-esteem program uniquely ME!, SuChin Pak is redefining what it means to be a girl in a world where media and mainstream images don’t always reinforce positive self-worth.

SuChin never planned on a career in television. During high school while volunteering for Youth in Government, an organization aimed at involving and educating young people in the political process, SuChin was interviewed for a news segment on KGO-TV, the ABC affiliate in San Francisco.  She was then approached to host "Straight Talk 'N Teens," a news magazine format show, covering everything from entertainment to topical issues such as teen pregnancy, drug abuse and education. This "after-school job" became SuChin's introduction to the entertainment world. Juggling school and television became a mainstay in SuChin's life.

Following graduation, she was approached by ZDTV (now called G4 TV), a 24-hour national cable network devoted to technology and the internet, for which she was hired as a reporter for their evening show, "Internet Tonight." After a year with ZDTV, she was recruited to be a correspondent on another teen show called "First Cut" on KRON the NBC affiliate in San Francisco. It had become increasingly clear that television was her calling, and looking to move on from San Francisco, SuChin sent in a tape to the start-up cable network Oxygen. She was hired as one of the anchors for the network’s daily, live, two-hour talk show, “Trackers.” From there, MTV spotted her and came calling.

Born in Korea, SuChin and her family moved to the Bay Area when she was five years old. She graduated with a degree in political science from the University of California at Berkeley.
