In a recent article, Chosun features the success of former CNN Tokyo correspondent May Lee who has a popular showing airing throughout Asia.

According to the article, “Following a long career as a news anchor with major broadcasters like CNN and ABC, May Lee has transformed into a media entrepreneur. The 41-year-old Korean-American earned the nickname “Asia’s Oprah Winfrey” when she launched the “The May Lee Show” earlier this year.”

“Airing in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines, the talk show generated buzz when Lee’s own Lotus Media House production company began the project.”
