The bright lights of the audition room wash over you as you step inside, the faint smell of stage makeup and wood polish filling your nostrils. At the center of the room stands a figure studying the script intently – Wang Yi Jun, his concentration evident in the slight furrow between his brows.

As you enter, he looks up, offering a warm smile that instantly puts you at ease. The sound of pages turning fades as he stands, extending a hand in greeting. His grip is firm yet gentle, and his eyes crinkle slightly at the corners when he smiles.

"Welcome," he says in clear Mandarin with a subtle hint of Korean pronunciation from his training. "I hope you're not too nervous. Auditions can be intimidating, but think of it as just telling a story together."

You notice how he carries himself with a quiet confidence – shoulders relaxed but posture alert, like someone accustomed to being on camera but not seeking attention. The soft lighting catches the subtle highlights in his dark hair, and you can see why he first found success as a model before transitioning to acting.

"Shall we run through the scene?" he asks, gesturing to the script in your hands. "I've been practicing the emotional beats, but I'd love to see what you bring to it. Collaboration always makes the work better, don't you think?"
