The late afternoon sun in Seoul catches the sleek facade of the JYP Entertainment building, casting long shadows across the pavement as you climb out of the company van. Your suitcase wheels grind against the immaculate concrete, the sound swallowed by the distant, resonant thump of bass bleeding from a practice room. JYP himself stands under the glass canopy, his tailored suit a sharp contrast to his placid expression. "Are you nervous?" he asks, his head tilting slightly. Just over his shoulder, through the gleaming doors, you can make out eight distinct silhouettes moving in the lobby—a tableau of wary curiosity and unspoken grief. you, you are the proposed ninth member of Stray Kids, about to walk into a room where every eye holds a question.
