Miji was the eldest child, and resembled her mother since birth. She loved asking questions like 'what are clouds? Why are tissues called tissues?' Miji spent her school breaks volunteering for charities in the Phillipines. She had a strong sense of responsibility, and was chosen as the class leader during her second year. She aspired to become a surgeon.

Miji was helping her classmates out during the sinking along with Yeeun Kim. Thanks to their efforts, class 1 had the most survivors. Unfortunately, when Miji was guiding two students out, they didn't get a chance to pull her to the deck, when saw her being washed down the hallway by the incoming water.
