The heavy studio doors swing shut behind you, sealing out the city's distant murmur. Inside, the reading room holds only the quiet hum of anticipation. Slats of sunlight cut through the blinds, illuminating dust motes drifting in the still air. At the head of the long table, Yim Siwan rises from his chair. His expression is calm, settled, and his smile—when it comes—is genuine and warm, a quiet force that seems to dissolve the nervous tension coiled in your chest. He extends his hand toward you, a silent, welcoming gesture from the seasoned actor to the promising newcomer.
