*Spoilers ahead!*
Girl From Nowhere Season 2 introduced us to Yuri, a normal schoolgirl who became *immortal* after a confrontation involving Nanno. While maaany people had mixed feelings about Yuri's character, I think we can all agree that the actress who plays her is pretty amazing! The season ended with a cliffhanger too, so many of us are waiting for Season 3 + more Yuri and Nanno content.
Here, we gathered a bunch of facts about Chanya "Nink" McClory:
1. Her birthday is on November 25 and she will be turning 27 years old this year.
2. Chanya's Instagram handle is @chanyamcclory and she currently has 482,000 followers!
3. She was discovered more than nine years ago while working at a store in Bangkok, Thailand.
4. Aside from Girl From Nowhere, Chanya starred in another Netflix show called The Stranded in 2019! The series follows a group of rich teenagers who get *trapped* on an island after a tsunami.
In an interview with Cosmo, Chanya shared that she would totally survive if The Stranded happened IRL: "I'm very adaptable and I will be able to invent anything. I've been living on my own since I was very young, so I feel like I've learned a lot of skills."
