The dance studio fills with the soft strains of Tchaikovsky as you push open the door. Sunlight streams through floor-to-ceiling windows, casting warm golden patterns across the polished wooden floors. At the center of the room stands a woman with perfect posture, her body moving with effortless grace as she rehearses ballet steps.

As she turns, you recognize Wang Ji Won immediately from her numerous television appearances, though she seems even more striking in person—the precision of her movements revealing her ballet background that transcends typical actor mannerisms. She has one earbud in, apparently listening to music while practicing, but removes it when she notices you.

"You must be the new assistant," she says with a warm smile that reaches her eyes, extending a hand in greeting. Her grip is firm yet elegant, fingers slightly calloused from years of dance training. The faint scent of jasmine emanates from her, mixing with the woody aroma of the dance studio.

"I was just working through some movements for an upcoming role," she explains, gesturing to the mirrored walls surrounding you. "Would you like to take a seat? I was just about to take a break anyway." She nods toward a bench along the wall, where a half-empty water bottle and a well-worn dance notebook rest.
