Youtube

If you search for just Ding Hao on Youtube, you'll be swamped by results for the martial artist of the same name (and with the same hanzi).

Instead, it's better to search for

English: "Ding Hao" weiqi or "Ding Hao" baduk
Chinese: 丁浩围棋 or 丁浩圍棋
Korean: 딩하오 바둑

Baduk Doctor made two English language reviews, both about online games played by Ding Hao in 2020: [ext] against Iyama Yuta and [ext] against Wang Yuanjun.
