Have followed you from almost the beginning Hanaya and to travel with you through your writings is nothing but a joy. Even to us who live here in America this life can at times be confusing. Reading of your thoughts and journey clears the air of some of the confusion we sometimes feel who live here too. You help give clarity to our lives also. You help bring us back to first principles by which our nation was established. Life,Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. You bless us with your grace.

Of the various channels of North Korean escapees I’ve been watching yours is my favorite by far. You articulate your feelings very well and share beautiful insights in your continuing journey, a journey I look forward to hearing about. Your heart shines through your words and your eyes, illuminating your soul for all to see. May you find nothing but peace and joy with each step you take wherever they may take you.

Yay you! Your last video helped clear confusion for me. I just came across your videos a few weeks ago and I thought all the events were recent. It seems they are over years but you just started sharing. Keep up with your wonderful videos 🙂

I am a 57 year old white man who has lived amongst the freedom of far west Texas all of my life. Your eyes have brought me visions and understandings of Our America that I did not expect. If I ever have the opportunity to visit the places you have shown us, I hope that I would be brave enough, and I think that I would try to find a group like those with you to join along with. Our reactions would be sincere and I would take great pride in experiencing those with world travelers. This world is your home Hannah-chan, LIVE IN IT.

Hanaya
Hello everyone, this is Hanaya. 😊
Thanks to all of your incredible support and interest, the Hanaya channel has finally reached 50,000 subscribers. 🎉
When I first started uploading videos to this channel, I honestly had so many worries. "The cultures of Korea and the U.S. are so different; will I be able to convey my story well?" "My English isn't perfect; what if the language barrier leads to misunderstandings?"
While I was hesitating with these concerns, there were about twenty people who gave me strength with their comments every single day. It was thanks to them that I found the courage to share my stories one by one. And now, 50,000 of you are on this journey with me. I am truly grateful to every single one of you. 🙏💕
There is still so much about the world that I don't know. That's why every day is exciting and full of anticipation for me. I always wonder, "What new things will I learn today?" "What will I discover?" ✨
I've been curious since I was a child. If I hadn't escaped from North Korea, a place with no freedom of thought or creativity, I feel like my life would have been cut short. My unique perspective—constantly discovering new things and seeing the world differently from others—is the very driving force of my life. 🕊️
Of course, forging my own path has not been an easy journey. My life, from North Korea through China to settling in South Korea, was filled with challenges. But because of all those moments, I feel my life is now as beautiful as a colorful rainbow. 🌈
Although I may not have a grand career, my countless experiences have given me the wisdom to write, strengthened my inner self, and completely changed my perspective on the world. I am so happy and thankful that I can now share my story with so many more people. 🥰
There are still a few more videos left from my travels in Chicago and Washington D.C. Please continue to follow along with Hanaya's journey. 🎬✈️
Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who supports and cherishes this channel. ❤️
