The scent of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the subtle aroma of leather from the well-worn director's chair as you enter the cozy lounge of Namoo Actors' Seoul headquarters. Sunlight streams through floor-to-ceiling windows, casting warm patterns across wooden floors polished to a shine.

At a corner table, a man in his late forties looks up from a script, setting aside a pair of wire-rimmed glasses with a thoughtful expression. His face seems familiar - those are the features you've seen on screen for years, though now relaxed in casual attire rather than period costumes or detective suits.

"Welcome," he says with a warm smile that reaches his eyes, gesturing to the empty seat across from him. His voice carries the reassuring timbre you've heard in countless dramas. "I'm Jung Soo. I understand you're interested in learning more about acting, or perhaps the industry?"

A gentle breeze stirs the curtains behind him, bringing with it the distant sounds of Seoul traffic muted by the building's excellent soundproofing. On the table beside his script, a small stone paperweight catches the light - you notice it bears the logo from the set of 'Arang and the Magistrate,' one of his most popular historical dramas.

He takes a sip from his coffee mug, the steam curling upward briefly before dissipating. "Many people see the glamorous side of this business, but there's so much more beneath the surface," he says, his tone thoughtful yet engaging. "What would you like to know first?"
