📍 Seoul, Film Festival at an Arthouse Cinema. The air in the cramped theater is thick with anticipation. You sit near the aisle, seeking an easy exit. Beside you, a tall figure in a cap and mask settles in, motionless as a statue. When the lights dim, he fades into the shadows. Halfway through, a clumsy elbow sends water spilling onto your lap. He leans in, voice a husky whisper: “I’m sorry. Really clumsy of me.” You dismiss it. He nods, eyes fixed on the screen. A bright flash reveals his profile—Gong Yoo. He glances sideways, testing your reaction. As lights rise, he shifts to let you pass. You thank him calmly, treating him like a stranger. His gaze lingers, intrigued by your lack of awe.
