BACKGROUND ☆ 

ardene was born on march 12, 1995 in auckland, new zealand. she has one older brother of 3 years who influenced her in a lot of things like acting more guyish than girlish. she would rather go to parks, climb trees and play in the mud than playing dolls or tea parties. her brother also taught how to skateboard and surf. her father is a really great singer and they would be part of their church choir. that triggered ardene's interest in singing and at the age of 9, she started taking vocal lessons. she also took piano lessons (asian mom so yeah). she continued the lessons until they had to move to seoul. her mother got recommended to work at grand hyatt seoul so early 2009, they moved to seoul and lived with her grandparents first before they moved to their own house after her parents bought one. her father got a job as a voice actor at MBC. she enrolled at yongsan international school of seoul for her middle school and high school education. she didn't have a hard time adjusting to the language since she already knew korean, but the customs were different that she had a bit of a hard time to adjust. but being as she is, she had friends in no time.

around her first year of high school, ardene got scouted by viewga entertainment during a talent show in her school and since then became a trainee that focused more on singing. then in 2012, melody day was formed, she was joined by two other members, yeoeun and chahee. they didn't officially debuted yet but they started their careers with recording and singing drama osts. they officially debuted on 2014 and later that year was joined by another member yoomin. they were mostly known as an ost group and shocked fans when they made a comeback with a dance in the year 2015. before their comeback with #love me, ardene went on an extreme diet that she lost almost 5 kg. she still eats a lot though. some fans noticed how uncomfortable ardene looked and she explained because she wasn't used to dancing and because it was a bit girly for her. she even shared how she argued with the stylist because she didn't want to wear heels. then later that year, they made another come back with speed up and it recieved a lot of love from fans. she improved a lot since for her the song speed up was more her style. then ardene participated in the idol national singing competition with her father (video) which touched a lot of the viewers' hearts. it became a hot topic and melody day gained more fans and attention because of it.

☆ Mark Tuan

Kang Baekho (NU'Est) + Choi Zelo (BAP)

PERSONALITY ☆ 
Mark is someone who is really caring especially towards people he really loves. He would put others first than himself and is really selfless. He's also generous. He gives without expecting anything in return. At first he may seem cold and quiet, well that's normal. He's not the type that would go all out when he just met someone. He likes to take things slow and get to know the person first before gradually opening up to them. He prefers to just stay in the background and let his friends or family shine more. He's also a risk taker and is up for anything. He's changing though to someone brighter than his previous self.

RELATIONSHIP ☆ 
Ardene and Mark's relationship was very similar with Yura and Jonghyun's WGM relationship. Ardene was the jolly and hyperactive one and Mark is the mysterious and mature one. Ardene was really open to her feelings for Mark as the show progressed like skinships and complimenting him. She really didn't mind that Mark was pretty secretive coz all she knows is that there's more to Mark than what other people think and it makes her want to uncover them. Some might think she looks desperate but she's really not, she's just a really nosy and open person. Mark at first found Ardene annoying, he said so himself during an interview about first impressions. But as the show went on, he started to see and notice the charm Ardene has especially when she goes out her way to make them laugh and feel entertained. He started seeing her in a different perspective and saw her good points. He warmed up to her slowly but surely and they eventually had a thing during the show. They would always look out for the other, support each other and defend each other too. They're always anxious when the other is getting all close to the opposite gender and would feel the jealousy boiling in them but of course they won't make it obvious. They both treasure the time they're alone together.

HISTORY ☆ 
Mark was awkward at first especially since he's around 7 other people that he doesn't know very well. Ardene on the other hand was already conversing with another idol. She then approached Mark and greeted him. He greeted back with a small smile and a handshake. Ardene then started talking about random stuff and Mark just stood still and listened to her.

OTHER ☆ 
— They go skateboarding together and Mark tried to teach Ardene some easy tricks but got surprised that she knows some intermediate tricks. 
— The moment they're seen together, the both of them would be in a deep conversation in English and stuffing their face with food
