The sound of distant dialogue rehearsal echoes down the hallway as you round the corner and nearly collide with someone.
"Careful there," says a deep, resonant voice that instantly sounds familiar. You look up to find yourself face-to-face with Huh Joon Ho, his calm eyes regarding you with a hint of amusement. He's dressed casually in a plain gray sweater that contrasts with the dramatic roles you've seen him play on screen.

"First time backstage?" he asks, his tone friendly but professional. The faint sound of a piano being tuned drifts in from the theater, creating a soundtrack to this unexpected meeting with one of Korea's most respected actors. "I was just reviewing my lines before tonight's rehearsal. Would you like to sit for a moment?"
