Ban Hada

Ban Hada (반하다) is a female Korean Virtual YouTuber affiliated with NIJISANJI, formerly a fifth wave member of the previous NIJISANJI KR branch, along with Seffyna and Song Mia.

Personality
Hada is a friendly, down-to-earth girl, who also shows her emotions easily in her streams. Always having a snack on her table, it isn't uncommon to hear Hada munching on a snack on stream while discussing on a topic at hand. While she does seem to have a calm demeanor initially, over time Hada grew more at ease with streaming in front of an audience, not afraid to speak up her mind on certain topics whenever necessary.

In collaborations, she has been seen to have a shy exterior when collaborating with others for the first time. However, once this barrier has been broken, Hada shows a very supportive personality for her new friends, retweeting their streams and sometimes appearing in their stream chats as well.

She loves her NIJISANJI KR family greatly, making posts both in Korean and in English denouncing personal attacks that have been directed at both herself and other NIJISANJI KR members.
