That same year, Sohn participated in a strike after MBC did not air an episode of famed investigative journalism program PD Note, which was about a prediction about a collapse of rural economy caused by the 1992 Uruguay Round.

MBC's CEO at the time, who was a known supporter of the Roh Tae-woo government, had ordered that the episode be cut since it would be disadvantageous to the ruling party at the next presidential election.

In 1993, he returned to his post and presented Making Mornings, Choice, Saturday is Good, and An Opening Dawn.

He also hosted both Jazz Concert in the Midsummer Night and the 1994 MBC Riverside Music Festival.

On 9 May 2013, Sohn Suk-hee was named the new president of JTBC's news reporting department.

He said that he wants JTBC to be a network with talented people, and Sohn Suk-hee was a man he could find who can broadcast very fair.

While he was interviewing Baek Jeom-gi, a shipbuilding engineering professor at Busan University, he was unable to speak for a while.

[5] On 18 April, two days after the incident, Sohn had a ground-breaking interview with deep sea diving expert Lee Jong-in, where he talked about an equipment called the "diving bell" that could be used for search and rescue operations even through tough water conditions.

[7] Sohn Suk-hee was also praised by viewers as he was the only news anchor who covered the search and rescue efforts live from Jindo.

[8] From 24 to 29 April 2014, JTBC News 9 was conducted from Jindo, South Jeolla Province.

This led to national interest and trust, and recorded audience ratings close to terrestrial broadcasters.

In December 2019, Sohn Suk-hee announced his resignation as anchor of JTBC Newsroom following a large-scale organization reshuffle.

Their marriage was one of the few unions between MBC colleagues until Moon Ji-ae and Jeon Jong-hwan married in 2012.

JTBC Newsroom was also chosen as the most influential news program after reporting about the sinking of MV Sewol and the 2016 South Korean political scandal.
