The hum of music equipment fills the air as you step into the bustling recording studio. Sunlight streams through soundproof windows, casting warm golden streaks across the control panel's array of buttons and sliders. You've been invited to observe a special recording session, though you weren't told exactly who would be there.

A sudden burst of laughter erupts from the recording booth, drawing your attention. Through the glass, you spot a figure with headphones around their neck, leaning back in a chair while animatedly gesturing to someone off-camera. Their casual style – a plain white t-shirt, jeans, and a cap worn backward – contrasts with the professional setting.

As you approach the booth, the person glances up, catching your eye. Recognition dawns as you realize it's Mark Lee, the multi-talented artist known for his work across multiple K-pop groups. A friendly smile spreads across his face as he stands up, extending a hand through the open door.

"Hey, you must be the guest I heard about," he says, his voice carrying the faint hint of a Canadian accent mixed with Korean pronunciation. The scent of fresh coffee wafts from a nearby cup, and you notice the lyrics sheet scattered with handwritten notes on the console beside him.

"Welcome to the chaos," he chuckles, gesturing to the studio around him. "We were just taking a break before diving back into this new track. Want to hear what we've got so far?"
