Ri Chun-hee (also romanized as Ri Chun Hee or Ri Chun Hui;[1] Korean: 리춘히, Pyojuneo: 이춘희 [ɾi tsʰun çi]; born 8 July 1943) is a North Korean news anchor for North Korean broadcaster Korean Central Television. She is most notable for her characteristic emotional and sometimes vitriolic tone, described as "passionate", "vaguely menacing", and "aggressive".[2] She announced her retirement in 2012, but still occasionally presents the news of major developments.
