My name is Lada Khudzhiyeva, the voice behind Lada’s Insights. For the past four years, I’ve been living in South Korea, where my journey began with nothing but a one-way ticket, a dream of staying, and almost no money. At one point, my balance dropped to just €2, and I faced the possibility of having no place to sleep the following night.
Through creativity, courage, and risk-taking, I turned that challenge into one of my greatest victories—avoiding the streets of Seoul and transforming my struggles into success. Today, I live the dream life I once only imagined.
Now, through Lada’s Insights, I share my experiences, wisdom, and empowering lessons to help others do the same. From Lada News and personal growth stories to Lada Help and Lada Empowerment, this platform is built to inspire you to overcome challenges, navigate tough times, and create a life you truly love. Whether you discover Lada Wisdom or follow my journey from South Korea to Finland (Lada Suomi, Lada Tuuliajolla, and even the iconic Lada White Dress moments)—my goal is to guide, motivate, and empower you every step of the way.

I want to bring clarity to the incident that happened last May. My husband and I were invited to a wedding, and I wore a white dress without knowing it was against etiquette. We were put online and have been seen and criticized by 400,000 people.
Many think that my husband and I created the chaos on purpose to benefit somehow from it. In fact, it was detrimental not only to the bride and groom but also to us. It ruined our friendship and gave us a negative reputation. Do I think I did wrong by wearing a white-colored dress to a wedding? Absolutely.
I do think that it was improper for me to do it. I do consider it improper to enter a community and oppose the group’s customs. I’m not a conflictive person. In fact, I avoid conflict if I’m not forced into it. That’s why I would never do anything to anyone to cause harm on purpose. Regardless, I did cause chaos for which I feel contrition.
My sincere apologies to the bride, groom, and all the guests I may have caused discomfort to. Unfortunately, regardless of how much I would want to go back in time and change the situation, I can’t change my ignorance and the moment of entering the wedding hall. I know that most likely my words won’t be accepted, but nevertheless, I feel a duty to let my voice be heard.
