Mi-Jung Lee (born September 12, 1966[1]) (Korean: 이미정; RR: I Mijeong; born in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do, South Korea[2]) is a Korean Canadian television personality, based in Vancouver, British Columbia. She currently co-anchors the weeknight 6pm newscast alongside Scott Roberts on CTV Vancouver.

She moved with her family from South Korea to Vancouver at age 4,[3][4] and graduated from Sir Charles Tupper Secondary School in 1984. She then completed a degree in English literature at the University of British Columbia, and later a degree in journalism at Ryerson University.[3][4]

She began her on-air career in 1990 as a reporter and part-time anchor at CHEK-TV in Victoria, then moved to CHAN-TV (BCTV, then CTV's Vancouver affiliate) in 1992 and served in similar capacities,[3][4] eventually anchoring that station's News Hour Final weeknights until 1998. That year she joined CIVT-TV (then independent station VTV) as 6pm news co-anchor alongside Paul Mennier.[3][4] When CIVT became a CTV owned-and-operated station as part of the 2001 Vancouver TV realignment, Lee became anchor and producer of the station's 11:30pm newscast.[3][4] She also briefly co-hosted the Western Canada edition of CTV's national breakfast television program Canada AM from January 2008 until its cancellation in June that year.[3][5][6] She returned to CIVT's weeknight 6pm newscast as co-anchor in August 2018, after Mike Killeen and Tamara Taggart were let go from the station earlier that year.[7]

Lee has appeared as a reporter or news anchor in several TV shows and films including Snakes on a Plane, X-Men: The Last Stand, Tron: Legacy, Hot Rod and Watchmen.[1]
