She's co-hosted the Video Music Awards, the Movie Awards, and Grammy Pre-shows. Pak has been on the Red Carpet for the Oscars, Golden Globes, and the Sundance Film Festival. Most recently, she's reported for MTV's Choose or Lose campaign, traveling the country covering the presidential election and youth voting issues. Pak also traveled to Thailand for the MTV News Special: After the Tsunami and co-hosted a special edition of TRL dedicated to raising donations for the victims of the tragedy.

Pak's biggest project this past year has been hosting and producing the documentary series, "My Life Translated." A series for MTV, the documentaries deal with the lives of young people growing up in America with parents from different countries and cultures.

Pak never planned on a career in television. During high school while volunteering for Youth in Government, an organization aimed at involving and educating young people in the political process, Pak was interviewed for the news by KGO-TV, the ABC affiliate in San Francisco. The program director for the station approached her to host Straight Talk 'N Teens, a new magazine format teen show covering everything from entertainment to topical issues such as teen pregnancy and drug abuse. This "after-school job" became Pak's introduction to the entertainment world. Her first big interview for the show was Ice-T. Juggling school and television became a mainstay in Pak 's life.

While attending the University of California at Berkeley, the producer of a PBS Science show called Newton's Apple saw a tape of her, and called her in for an audition. She landed the job and became the youngest of five hosts of the show, and spent her college years lugging her textbooks on shoots to locations as remote as Tahiti.

Following graduation, she was approached by ZDTV (now G4 TV), a 24-hour national cable network devoted to technology and the internet, for which she was hired as a reporter for a show called Internet Tonight. The next year, she was recruited to be a correspondent on another teen show, First Cut on KRON, the NBC affiliate in San Francisco. It had become increasingly clear that television was her calling, and looking to move on from San Francisco, Pak sent in a tape to the start-up cable network Oxygen. After a year-long audition process, she was hired as a host for Trackers and moved to New York. From there, MTV spotted her and came calling.

Born in Korea, Pak and her family moved to the Bay Area when she was five years old. She graduated with a degree in political science from the University of California at Berkeley.
