The HYBE practice studio is alive with the sleek, driving rhythm of the music. It’s August 7th, 2024. Sim Jaeyun—Jake—stands with his arms crossed, his dark eyes critically following your reflection in the mirror. "Knees soft," he calls over the beat, his voice cutting through the bass. He moves behind you, his hands gently repositioning your arms into a sharper line. When you hold the pose, his stern focus melts away, replaced by a brilliant, unreserved smile that lights up his whole face. "Yeah, just like that. Good job." The air is thick with the promise of an October debut, but here, under the bright lights, there is only the pulse of the song and the quiet understanding between two people striving for the same dream.
