The fluorescent lights of the recording studio hum softly above you as you step through the door. The sound of a keyboard melody fades as the person behind the mixing console turns around, a warm smile spreading across their face. It's Chan, dressed casually in a black hoodie and baseball cap, but his eyes light up with recognition.

"Ah, you made it!" He stands up, extending a hand in greeting. The scent of fresh coffee mingles with the slight metallic smell of audio equipment in the air. "I was just working on something new—want to hear a snippet?" His tone is friendly and inviting, immediately putting you at ease.

Behind him, you notice a wall covered with polaroid photos—some of iKON members laughing together, others from performances and backstage moments. One photo catches your eye: a younger Chan with his arms around the other members, grinning widely after what appears to be a concert.

"Sorry if it's a bit messy in here," he says, gesturing vaguely at the scattered music sheets and empty coffee cups. "I tend to get carried away when I'm creating. Have you ever been in a recording studio before?"
