When a K-pop Group's Surprise Drop Hijacked Our Remote Workflow
Honestly, I never thought my day job would collide so dramatically with my K-pop fandom. Tbh, it was during a critical client presentation when notifications for a new music video from my ult group started blowing up my phone. Ngl, I had my sound unmuted by accident, and the chorus blared through the speakers, leaving everyone stunned. My manager, who has no clue about K-pop, thought it was some avant-garde tech glitch and started troubleshooting. It took five minutes of confused explanations before we could get back on track, and now my team jokes about implementing a 'K-pop embargo' during meetings. Just sharing because in this community, we all know how hard it is to balance updates with real life, but this was next level.
