At HybeIM, I am tasked with controlling the English communications for ASTRA: Knights of Veda. Working hard with the team, we've aimed to roll out a more modern communication system for our players, utilizing tools such as Discord for upcoming launches. With ASTRA: Knights of Veda, I have been working to ensure that all English communication channels are kept up to date with the latest news and information regarding the game.

Pearl Abyss have successfully brought their hit MMORPG Black Desert to Xbox One and Playstation 4. As is the nature of Community Managers, the responsibilities are ever changing, but here are some highlights: ● Community Management - Engaging with players on all levels and avenues including Twitch, Discord, and Youtube.● Live Streaming - Work to ensure that live streams deliver the messages that need to be delivered, while also providing an entertaining show that keeps players coming back for more. One of the biggest mantras of Live Streaming is to help promote transparency, ensuring that players trust not only the message, but the messenger. ● In-Game Event Planning - Working within the limits of what the game allows, I have successfully run popular events including PvP Tournaments, fishing excursions and more. ● In-Game Content - Sometimes it's hard for developers to look back on content when their eyes are looking to the future, so offering suggestions from the community and through looking at trends, I have helped suggest multiple different avenues of improvement that have helped improve the worlds we create. ● Trend Collection + Analysis - Not only is collecting trends and reporting them important, but the analysis of this information. Sure users might be saying something is not great, but getting down to the why's is a specialty. ● Consultation - I have become a key member of the team and I am regularly asked about how certain events/updates will be perceived by the player base and give feedback where necessary. ● Copy writing - Crafting notices to ensure players are informed about upcoming changes, weaving interesting lore based on loose threads for new/renewed content, and important Social Media copies all find their way to me first.● Localization - though Korean is not a strong asset, I work on taking documents in English, and writing a document that is suitable for the audiences we serve.

The company attempted to expand their influence in the mobile games market by developing an online media contents team. I was chosen to help lead the content creation team due to my ability to pick up on trends within the mobile gaming market, and my experience of hosting streams and other media outlets. The team was new when I joined, and I helped to ensure content was engaging and that the quality of the content we released was of the highest quality. We delivered professional yet friendly streams, and video content that engaged users in the best way possible. As a team leader, it was my job to ensure that the correct people were working on the correct project, and that the quality matched the goal I had in mind when the video was pitched. This allowed our content to be engaging as the content creator matched the tone and theme of each mobile game we reviewed. Using my previous hosting experience in live audiences, I helped out our less experienced creators in learning how to host content and deliver messages in a clear and concise fashion. Using the less experienced hosts with our more experienced hosts allowed us to foster talent, and to push our employees into areas where they continued to grow.

Guro-Gu, Seoul, Korea

Ran and managed Social Media Avenues and online community websites for mobile video games. The role required that I organize events, follow up on player concerns and interact with users in a friendly and calm way. Worked with other departments and branches of IGS and helped to establish a Global Community Management system which benefited both our clients and their customers. I aimed to improve player retention via community incentives and close contact with users. This helped them to understand that the future is always bright for their game of choice, and that the game was being ran with the best intentions. Towards the end of my tenure, I worked closely with regional netmarble offices to ensure their social media campaigns would engage and entertain users, while making sure that images created were of high quality, and accurately reflected the nature of the characters they used.
