She is the oldest of all 3 siblings. Kim Nanhyang (김난향) Voice actor: Yang Jeonghwa [ko] Nanhyang is Jadoo's irascible mother who disapproves of Jadoo's antics. Despite loving and caring for all of her children, Nanhyang mostly favors Seunggi and Mimi over Jadoo on a daily basis. Choi Hodol (최호돌) Voice actor: Choi Junyoung [ko] A North Korean refugee from Pyongyang, Hodol is Jadoo's father who works as a manager. Whenever Hodol receives his salary, he spends it on alcohol and gets drunk when he comes home, causing Nanhyang to be angry. In manhwa season 1 volume 4, he's nicknamed as "Choi Jusa" (최주사) because of his addiction to alcoholism. Choi Mimi (최미미) Voice actor: Jeong Yu-mi [ko] Mimi is Jadoo's 8-year-old younger sister and the middle child of the family. Choi Seunggi (최승기)[a] Voice actor: Kim Hyunji [ko] Seunggi is Jadoo's 5-year-old younger brother. He is the frequent victim of Jadoo's antics, who often steals money from his allowance savings.
Supporting characters
[edit] Kim Minji (김민지) Voice actor: Jeong Hyeok [ko] Nicknamed "Cicada", Minji is Jadoo's outgoing best friend who is the top student in class. She is outgoing, yet aggressive towards Jadoo initially, but warms up to her in later stories. Minji dreams to be a scientist when she grows older. Lee Yunseok (이윤석) Voice actor: Kim Youngeun [ko] Yunseok is the class president who is mischievous and often messes with Jadoo. He has a crush on Jadoo and had tried to confess himself multiple times, but failed due to misunderstanding. Jang Seonghun [ko] (장성훈) Voice actor: Jeong Hyewon [ko] Seonghun is one of Jadoo's classmates who was born as an only child to a wealthy family. He is not athletic and often tries to skip Physical Education classes. Although Seonghun was afraid of Jadoo at first, he fell in love with her due to her cute looks. He has a snail given to him by Jadoo. Seonghun is also rivals with Yunseok as the two both like Jadoo and often compete each other, though they occasionally are friendly to each other. Kim Seondol "Doldol" (김서돌 "똘똘") Voice actor: Jeong Yumi [ko] Nicknamed "Doldol", Seondol is one of Jadoo's classmates who is modeled on the writer's husband, Jeon Hojin, though this applies to the manhwa version of him rather than the anime version of him. Like Seonghun, he comes from a wealthy family, as his father works as a CEO. Seondol is a chubby boy who often teases Jadoo and the two are childhood friends. Lee Eunhui (이은희) Voice actor: Kim Saehae [ko] Eunhui is one of Jadoo's classmates who likes to be the center of attention and always mocks other students. She has a crush on Sungi and dreams of becoming a singer. Eunhui is frenemies with Jadoo and the two often compete each other. Yoon Sungi "Ddalgi" (윤순기 "딸기") Voice actor: Kim Boyeong [ko] Nicknamed "Ddalgi"(meaning strawberry in Korean; because the shape of his face looks like a strawberry), Sungi is one of Jadoo's classmates whose parents manage a bakery, as stated in Season 3. He is a timid boy who is artistic and enjoys drawing. Lee Mija (이미자) Voice actor: Kim Boyeong [ko] Mija is Jadoo's homeroom teacher and is referred to as “Ms. Lee” or “Teacher” by others. She sometimes scolds her, but the other children admire her attitude.
