madeline and her twin brother, maddox grew up as the children of strict korean immigrants in montreal. her father, john, is the ceo of a global entertainment conglomerate that rose to success during the korean wave while her mother, renee, is a retired pastry chef + tv host.from a young age, maddie’s life revolved around charity galas, high profile events, and summers in foreign villas. she was bright, strategic, and deeply ambitious, which her father saw as a threat. though she was more capable than her brother in business, she was meant to marry into a rich family.after graduating from lower canada college in 2020, she enrolled herself at york university in toronto to study business and marketing with the hopes that she could prove to her father she was his equal. but as the pandemic slowed the world, maddie began to see the cracks in her life. her twin escaped to seoul to chase a music career shortly after, an act she’d once called selfish. now, she understood it as freedom.

her arranged engagement to daniel ryu, the heir to a tech company was the breaking point. the match made her realize that her father would never see her as his heir. she dropped out of university and a month before the wedding, maddie withdrew her savings and disappeared from montreal without another word.in seoul, she reinvented herself and is learning to be her own person for the first time. she currently lives with her twin brother in an apartment in the yongsan district. she attends uni again, finishing her business degree at snu while hosting a podcast, powerless, where she discusses themes of romance, breaking generational expectations, and navigating young adult life. she has gathered a steady flow of listeners, and her podcast is slowly climbing the ranks on spotify.maddie is average height. she’s naturally dark-haired, but believes in dyeing her hair as an act of rebellion. her styles fluctuates a lot and typically wears what is comfy or whatever she finds pretty in her closet. growing up in canada, she was considered reserved and shy. she was very cautious of who she talked to in order to keep up appearances and rarely made real connections but since moving to seoul, she’s come out of her shell and is more charismatic, extroverted, and eager to make friends with new people.
