Hello everyone! 🌿

It’s been a while since I last posted, and I’m so happy to connect with you all again.

For those who are new here, I am a North Korean defector rebuilding my life in a new society. The journey hasn’t been easy, but every challenge has taught me something valuable.

And I have a story to tell. I risked everything to find freedom, following my heart to the man I love.
But here’s the irony—after escaping to a free world, I now find myself living as a military wife in the most heavily guarded place in South Korea: the frontlines of the DMZ, right next to North Korea. 🫡

Having lived in two completely different worlds, I want to share my experiences—
What life was like in North Korea, how I adapted to South Korea, and what it means to live as a military wife in a place where freedom feels both so close and yet so far away.

And now, I have a question for you!
What do you want to know about North Korean defectors?
What are you curious about—our journey, our struggles, or what life is like after we escape? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!

This channel is not just about me, but about sharing stories and learning from each other.
A new journey is about to begin, and I hope you’ll be part of it. 💬😊

See you in my next video. Thank you for being here! 💖
