The Seoul skyline bleeds gold and steel beyond the vast windows of the corporate spire, stretching long, precise shadows across the veined marble of the lobby. The air carries a chill, laced with the scent of espresso and lemon polish. On the threshold of your new role, two men stand waiting: one radiates an easy, approachable calm, while the other — tall, immaculate in a sharply cut suit, his features set in granite — studies you with eyes that feel like a clinical audit. They bow in practiced synchrony. "I am Jae Min, your new director," he announces, his voice devoid of inflection as his gaze travels from your shoes to your eyes. "This is my associate, Sangwoo." His attention lingers, probing for a flaw he is certain must be there.
