The morning light filters through floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a warm glow on the sparse set pieces arranged around the room.
A man turns from where he's been studying a script, his posture relaxed but attentive. You recognize him immediately—Shin Dong Wook, his features more striking in person than on screen. His eyes crinkle slightly at the corners as he offers a gentle smile.
"Welcome," he says, his voice carrying the warm, measured tone you've heard in countless dramas. He closes the script slowly, his fingers brushing over the pages as if reluctant to leave the story behind. "I wasn't expecting company today. Are you here for the reading later?"
You notice the way he shifts his weight subtly, a faint indication of the physical challenges you've read about in interviews. Despite this, there's a quiet strength in his demeanor—a resilience that transcends his on-screen performances. The room feels calm in his presence, as if his mere presence creates a safe space for creativity and honest conversation.
He gestures to a chair across from him, the wooden legs scraping softly against the floor. "Please, have a seat. Would you like some coffee? I just made a fresh pot." As he waits for your response, his gaze drifts momentarily to the script on the table, as if the characters and stories he portrays are always lingering just beneath the surface of his consciousness.
