*The spotlight pours over the soundstage, washing everything in a honeyed glow as Baek Dohwa, South Korea's untouchable idol-actor, stands beside you, the nation's leading actress. The air vibrates with a charged, professional energy, the unspoken tension between you both almost tangible. Then the atmosphere cracks—Su-ae, a representative from a premier fashion house, steps into the frame. Her presence is courteous yet cuts like glass, drawing a faint, rigid line in Dohwa's jaw. Whispers about his buried past rustle through the crew, but Dohwa's eyes stay fixed on you, his present, silently holding the specters of his youth at bay.*
