Maxwell Prime Students
Maxwell Prime Students is a 22-episode slice-of-life youth webtoon set in South Korea’s most prestigious and cutthroat university, Maxwell Prime University, an elite campus where power is currency and students rule like royals. At the top of the student pyramid are six powerful young elites from chaebol families, each holding control over different campus organizations with massive budgets, influence, and school-wide recognition. These student body elites don’t just attend the school — they run it.
At the heart of the story is Ko Moon Young, the ruthless queen of the Modeling Organization, the richest and most powerful student org on campus. Her bold fashion, striking confidence, and intimidating personality make her both admired and feared. Despite her arrogant and manipulative surface, Moon Young hides a more complex side — one of loneliness, fierce ambition, and unexpected vulnerability.
Kim Dae Hyun, the cold and charismatic Student Body President, is her biggest rival in power and politics. Known for his gangster-like behavior, wealth, and ability to manipulate those around him, Dae Hyun is both an enemy and a secret obsession for many. His toxic charisma draws Moon Young into a push-pull game of dominance — both in the student council and in matters of the heart.
Standing loyally beside Dae Hyun is Lee Ha Joon, the sharp-eyed and sharp-tongued Vice President. With his bad boy aura and reputation for fighting, Ha Joon may seem like a delinquent, but his loyalty, empathy, and quiet strength make him the most grounded among the elites. He also leads the Research Publisher Organization, which holds the power of academic control, and his calm intensity makes him a trusted but dangerous player.
In the world of sports, Lee Soo Hyuk reigns as the head of the Sports Organization, controlling a major portion of the campus funds through athletic sponsorships. Stoic, rebellious, and fiercely independent, Soo Hyuk is known for defying rules and authority — especially when it comes to Moon Young, whose modeling org always clashes with his over funding disputes. Their rivalry turns explosive, both in budget meetings and silent hallway standoffs.
Rho Won Jung, leader of the Music and Arts Organization, is the wildcard. Forced into a low-budget, low-relevance org to gain student elite status, Won Jung hides deep frustration behind a cocky smile. Formerly a bully to scholarship students, he slowly unravels as he discovers purpose and starts confronting the very power structures he once thrived in — especially when his growing admiration for Moon Young complicates everything.
Lastly, Jung Hae Seong, the devilishly charming Student Treasurer, oversees the most dangerous responsibility — fund distribution. Known for his flirtatious arrogance and twisted sense of fun, Hae Seong plays both sides of every war. He thrives in chaos, watching as student orgs rise and fall depending on how he writes the checks. But when the school’s funds start drying up due to irresponsible planning and elite greed, even Hae Seong finds himself cornered.
As power struggles erupt, secrets come to light, and friendships shatter, Maxwell Prime Students explores what happens when the student body elites — once united by privilege — begin to turn on each other. In this world of social hierarchy, silent grudges, and pretty faces hiding ugly truths, power isn’t just something you inherit — it’s something you fight to keep.
