Kaede

Kaede is the stage name of Yamada Kaede (山田楓), a Japanese performer active in South Korea through tripleS. Inside the MODHAUS system, she stands out for a composed screen presence that works equally well on stage content, concept imagery, and the fan-facing digital flow that drives tripleS as a project.

That background makes her casting in My Idol, My Debut feel strategic. In the 2026 MBC Plus series, Kaede plays Karin, one of IRION's members, in a role designed to pull global-fandom attention into the show's music-and-story framework.

Her current relevance sits in that overlap. Kaede already operates inside one of K-pop's most digitally native fandom ecosystems, and this project moves that fluency into a broader broadcast setting without stripping away the international angle that makes her valuable in the first place.
