Early life and education
Lah was born in Seoul, South Korea, and grew up in Streamwood, Illinois. He graduated from Hoffman Estates High School in 1989. She earned a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign in 1993. She served as a writer for the school's Daily Illini newspaper as well as a narrator.
Personal life
Lah has revealed that she has a strong South Korean identity. "I thinks" about the bigger issue of being Korean every single moment, she revealed in a 2006 interview with Dynamic-Korea.
Career
Lah began her career in 1993 as a desk assistant and field producer at WBBM-TV in Chicago. In 1994, she became an on-air reporter for WWMT-TV in Kalamazoo, Michigan. In 1995, she joined KGTV-TV in San Diego as a reporter.
In January 2000, she returned to WBBM-TV as an on-air reporter.
In early 2003, Lah moved to Los Angeles to take a job at KNBC-TV in Los Angeles, where she was a morning reporter and a midday anchor. The Chicago Sun-Times reported at the time that Lah had turned down a "half-hearted (contract) renewal offer" from WBBM-TV.
Despite receiving high praise from management, Lah was allegedly fired from KNBC-TV in Los Angeles in March 2005 for an alleged affair with her field producer Jeff Soto. They were both married at the time and Lah's husband also worked for NBC in the Los Angeles area.
In late 2005, Lah joined CNN Newsource as a Washington, D.C.-based correspondent.
In November 2007, Lah became CNN's Tokyo-based correspondent. A Japanese interpreter always accompanied her. On June 27, 2012, Lah left her post in Japan for a position at the CNN bureau in Los Angeles.
Lah has written extensively about Japanese subculture, specializing in men who have married animated characters. As a result, she has been criticized by the Japanese and international blogosphere for focusing on the irregular outliers of Japan and for allowing her racial bias to influence what she reports on, rather than the hard-hitting news that was expected from her as a reporter for an international broadcasting company.
