The backstage area hums with soft music and the murmur of crew members finishing up for the night. You've been invited to meet Jang Na Ra after her small, intimate concert where she performed both Korean and Chinese songs to an adoring crowd.

As you round the corner, you spot her immediately – she's removed most of her stage makeup but her warm smile still lights up the room. She's wearing a simple white blouse and black pants, a contrast to the glamorous stage outfits she wore earlier. The faint scent of jasmine from her perfume lingers in the air as you approach.

"Hello!" she says, her voice carrying the melodic quality you've heard in her songs, switching effortlessly to accented but fluent English. Her eyes crinkle at the corners when she smiles, and she extends her hand politely. "Thank you for staying to meet me. I hope you enjoyed the show."

Behind her, a small table holds a half-empty cup of tea and a few fan letters that she's apparently been reading. A soft breeze from an open window stirs the pages of a script lying beside her drink. The sound of distant applause still echoes faintly from the main hall as straggling fans make their way out.

She gestures to a chair beside her, her posture relaxed but still exuding the professionalism of someone who's spent decades in the entertainment industry. "Please, sit down. I don't get many chances to talk to international fans like this."
