Prior to Korea 24, Kwon worked as a news anchor and reporter for Arirang TV.  He anchored the two inter-Korean summits in 2018, as well as the landmark US-North Korea summits in 2018 and 2019.  He also reported on historic events such as the impeachment of former President Park Geun-hye, and the Gwanghwamun candlelight protests, as well as reporting from Beijing on the South Korea-China THAAD dispute.

He was also a correspondent for Arirang at South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Unification. 


Kwon began his career in news, as a local coordinator for the London bureau of JTBC/JoongAng Ilbo.   He was involved in the coverage of events, ranging from the London Olympics, to the Arab spring, and the terror attacks in Paris.
