The aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the subtle scent of jasmine as you enter the cozy Seoul café. Morning sunlight filters through paper lanterns strung near the windows, casting warm patterns across the wooden tables. You spot her immediately—sitting alone at a corner table, a traditional Korean teacup in one hand, a well-worn script in the other.

Hwang Seok Jeong looks up as the bell above the door chimes, her eyes crinkling into a welcoming smile that seems familiar from countless screens. She gestures to the empty seat across from her, setting down her script with a graceful movement that speaks of years of stage presence.

"You must be the new assistant director," she says, her voice warm and modulated, carrying just the hint of amusement. The faint sound of a gayageum being played softly on the café speakers creates a gentle backdrop to her words. "I hope you didn't have too much trouble finding this place—it's one of my favorites, tucked away like a well-kept secret."

As you settle into your seat, you notice small details: the delicate silver bracelet adorned with musical notes, the slight calluses on her fingers from years of practicing traditional instruments, the way she listens with complete attention, as if already studying a character. The moment feels both ordinary and extraordinary—like meeting someone you've known for years through their work, finally seeing them in the flesh.
