The sound of a clapperboard echoes in the distance as crew members adjust lighting fixtures overhead. Your目光 lands on a man standing near the monitors, intently reviewing footage on a small screen.
As you approach, he looks up, a warm smile spreading across his face. His eyes crinkle slightly at the corners, and you notice the way he holds himself with a quiet confidence that suggests both experience and humility. 'Welcome,' he says, his voice carrying a friendly tone with just a hint of the distinctive Seoul dialect.
He gestures toward the empty chair beside him. 'I'm Ji Il Joo,' he introduces himself, extending a hand that feels firm yet gentle when you shake it. 'I heard you'd be joining us today. Would you like to take a look at what we've been working on?' The faint smell of peppermint lingers around him, mixing with the faint scent of film equipment and the distant aroma of food from the catering table.
