Actress Ha Yeon Soo is giving fans a fresh glimpse into her life abroad, revealing candid details about the challenges she faces while living and working in Tokyo.

Reports from Koreaboo state the actress got candid in a recent Instagram post uploaded on November 21 where she talked about her daily realities since she relocated to Japan in 2022 after the end of her Korean management contract. Ha has been promoting steadily in Japan, but she admitted life overseas is far from simple.

Before leading into the stress she feels from living abroad, she started her feelings with a neutral reflection. She stated, "f course, there aren't only good days living in Tokyo. I'm very anxious, but I'm doing the best I can with the work I've been given."

As pointed out in further reporting by Insight, Ha also talked about the number one reason she keeps pursuing her career in Japan and doesn't return home. Preparing for her answer, she composed herself first and explained how the situation has been changing the more time she has spent away from Korea.

She said, "The longer I stay in Japan, the fewer domestic projects I have, so it's difficult for me to promise a set date for my return."

Her post also touched on financial responsibility-an area many entertainers rarely discuss publicly. She introduced this topic in a practical manner and acknowledged the pressures: Ha wrote, "I'm the head of my household, so I need to work."

She then turned toward the future, outlining what she hopes to accomplish in the next stage of her career. With a measured lead-in into her plans, Ha explained the mindset of a foreign artist navigating the Japanese entertainment industry: "Being a foreigner certainly carries its disadvantages, so starting next year and the year after, I plan to push myself to the limit to see how much more I can achieve from here, and then consider what comes next."

In 2022, Ha Yeon Soo signed an exclusive contract with the Japanese agency Twin Planet and started her full-time career in Japan. She mentioned that she will go back to Korea eventually, but as seen from her comments, she needs to first stabilize her work, financial situation, and direction in the long run.

Her latest comments provide the clearest view yet of why the actress stays overseas — and how determined she is to make the most of her time abroad before choosing her next steps.
