VerifiedRyan Chung’s Biography
Ryan Chung—or R. Chung if you know him from the Toronto scene—is an actor, journalist, and host who’s been in the mix from local talent shows to national broadcasts.
He got his first big break with the 2009 MuchMusic VJ Search, which led to gigs with MTV Canada and Corus Entertainment.

On screen, he’s been featured on ABC’s Designated Survivor, Discovery ID’s See No Evil, and in various national and international commercials.

Now, he’s shaping the national morning show on CBC Music—bringing music, culture, and conversation to listeners everywhere.
When he’s not behind the mic or on set, you’ll find him hanging out in Scarborough with his wife—or chasing the next acting role.
