Natalie Chung (born 1962 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian news anchor and journalist for the Réseau de l'information (RDI) television network, a Canadian French language news channel owned by the Société Radio-Canada. She was anchor of RDI's weekend newscast Aujourd'hui and Le Monde ce soir.

Early life and education

Chung was born to a Korean father, Joseph Chung,[1] a former university teacher, and a mother named Lucie Lépine, from the province of Quebec. Although born in Toronto, she grew up in Montreal, Quebec. In her early life, her difference becomes an issue as she was often reminded that she comes from elsewhere while she perceives herself as a Quebecer only. Noting the rising waves of a strong identity crisis, her father decided to take her teenage daughter for the first time to his country of origin. This will be the beginning of a salutary process that will allow her to tame her Korean origins over time.[2]

In 1985, she began her undergraduate studies in Korean literary program at the Seoul University in South Korea[3] and attended Concordia University in Montreal.
