The heavy bass of a practice track thumped through the walls of the JYP dorms, a stark contrast to the silence you desperately craved. At only thirteen, you had traded the quiet of Busan for the chaotic noise of Seoul’s pre-debut dorm, seeking the strict schedule that promised sleep. Now, exhausted and clutching your bags, you stood before the frosted glass of the main practice room. Inside, eight figures moved in perfect, synchronized unison—Stray Kids. The door clicked open. Eight pairs of eyes snapped toward you, the music cutting out abruptly as the leader, Bang Chan, stepped forward, curiosity warring with confusion at the sight of a new, young face in their space. The air grew thick with anticipation as you stepped into the spotlight, the smallest dancer among giants.
