She also openly discussed the challenges of working in Japan. "The handicap of being a foreigner clearly exists," she said. "I intend to push myself to the limit to see how much further I can leap forward here, looking at next year and the year after, before I consider what comes next."

Finally, Ha Yeon-soo expressed her gratitude to her fans, saying, "Thank you for reading my long post during your precious time."

Ha Yeon-soo, who first gained recognition in the 2013 drama 'Potato Plant Star,' has garnered a loyal fanbase with her unique aura and distinct style. While recently expanding her activities to include photoshoots and variety shows in Japan, her candid confession is drawing significant public attention.

Korean netizens have responded with a wave of supportive messages following Ha Yeon-soo's candid confession. Comments include, "It's admirable that you're doing your best even in difficult circumstances," "We'll always cheer for you, Ha Yeon-soo!", and "I hope you stay healthy while continuing your activities."
