YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki has appeared on the hit YouTube channel of elderly Korean vlogger Park Makrye.
In the video titled "Oh my God!!! The YouTube CEO really came to Korea to see Makrye!" that was released on April 21, Wojcicki and Park are shown discussing topics such as their dreams, Wojcicki's vision as YouTube CEO and motherhood.
Park, 73, attended last year YouTube's annual developer conference Google I/O as a Korean representative at Google headquarters in Mountain View, California. Because the grandmother was unable to meet Wojcicki at the event as she wished, the CEO paid her a visit in Korea.
Launching her YouTube channel in January 2017, Park has attracted numerous viewers thanks to her unique method of swearing, brutal honesty and trying younger generation fads. As of April 23, her channel had 836,000 subscribers.
