Weather forecasts have been a part of YTN since the channel's inception in 1995. [1] On April 27, 2011, YTN announced that it had concluded the registration with the regulator for a dedicated YTN Weather channel, with its launch scheduled for July.

The channel was the first such channel in Korea and was also used to prepare for climate disasters. [2] The channel launched on July 1, but was facing difficulties at launch due to lack of technical manpower.

On July 1, 2015, YTN renamed the channel as YTN Weather & Life, adding non-weather programming to its line-up. [4] Among them was LIFE Mania, about Korean lifestyle trends, resorting to Instagrammers due to the rise of the platform in South Korea. [5] In addition, YTN started providing a simulcast of the channel to the Incheon International Airport to provide weather data in case of delays and bad weather affecting air traffic. [6]
The channel was renamed YTN Life on January 1, 2017, becoming a lifestyle channel, [7] then to the current YTN2 on March 1, 2021. [8]
