Juin Teh (born 6 June 1990)[1] is a Malaysian host and actress.

Early life and career
Born in Ipoh, Malaysia, Teh adopted the stage name "Juin" (郑六月) when attending university as she wanted a name that is "easy and convenient to remember" and took inspiration from her birth date.[3] Teh moved to Johor when she was between four and five years old where she completed her primary and secondary education. At the age of 17, she enrolled into the Chinese Culture University in Taipei, Taiwan where she majored in mass communications.[3][4][5]
Teh auditioned for hosting roles at Kuala Lumpur Astro channel Evening Edition programme and Malaysia's radio station Ai FM, and participated in Singapore Mediacorp's So You Wanna Be A DJ competition，but did not make it through in either.[3]
In 2012, veteran media personality Chang Mei-hsiang bought the Rediffusion brand and Teh was one of the top five contestants in a DJ competition organised by the station; Teh in turn was enlisted as Chang's personal assistant. She later worked as a DJ for Malaysia's ONFM for two and a half years, and shuttled between Kuala Lumpur and Johor, where she lives.[3]
