Tuesday
9:30 a.m. - Meeting with BLACKPINK’s management team, YG, about “THE SHOW,” an exclusive livestream concert experience for BLACKPINK delivered through Channel Memberships on YouTube. Over 20 people across teams, from both YG and YouTube, join and discuss action items to make “THE SHOW” successful and big.
10:30 a.m. - Cross-functional Greater China team meeting, where a big part of the agenda is discussing how we work with our Chinese partners to reach YouTube viewers overseas.
11:30 a.m. - Asia-Pacific YouTube internal offsite (Day 1) for 4.5 hours. This is a yearly event for all Asia-Pacific YouTubers to come together, share professional (as well as personal) experiences with the team. It’s for team-building and fun. Due to COVID-19, the offsite is held online and I really miss the time when we met offline.
4:30 p.m. - Two 1:1 meetings with my team members: one from Taipei and the other from Seoul. We chat about partner-related topics and personal lives. The team’s mental health and well-being are getting more and more important as the period that we work from home gets longer.
6 p.m. - Internal sync to discuss a number of product, partner, marketing and PR topics related to BLACKPINK and “THE SHOW.” As multiple teams work on the BLACKPINK project, it is critical for us to check our progress and make sure we’re 100% aligned.
7 p.m. - Walked at Yangjae cheon, a stream near my place. It’s a bit cold, but the autumn leaves were beautiful.
Today’s highlight: It was great seeing Asia-Pacific YouTubers via Google Hangout, but I missed the time when we met offsite. When will COVID-19 end?
