Han started her career in 2013 as a reporter in MBN covering the police, local prosecution and law until she joined JTBC in 2017. In JTBC, she was a part of the legal team. Han became a trending topic on Naver after successfully reporting a piece about Kim Kwan-jin being in custody.[3]

She also hosts the segment Open Mic, where she goes out to conduct field reports and interviews.
She was previously a member of the political team, and is currently a member of the weekend coverage team.
