Jaewon Jung joined KPRC 2 Houston as a reporter in February 2025.
Jung comes to Houston from KTNV Channel 13 Action News Las Vegas where she has worked since January 2023 and served as a weekend anchor and senior reporter.
Before moving to Las Vegas, Jung began her career in western Oregon at KEZI 9 News, where she worked as a weekend anchor, producer, and weekday reporter. While in the Pacific Northwest, she was nominated for three regional Emmy awards.
Her journalism career began at USC Annenberg Media, where she worked as a multimedia journalist. She then became the Director of Communications for the Asian Community Development Council (ACDC).
Jung earned a Bachelor’s degree in film and television from California State University, Fullerton, and later received her Master’s degree in Communication Management from the University of Southern California. She was as a Digital Media/Editorial intern at the Newport Beach Film Festival, writing press releases and articles to promote independent films. She should check out a Houston-related documentary called Runaway Radio, but I'm not biased. ;)
