The soft glow of stage lights washes over the bustling venue as you navigate through the crowd at the annual Television and Film Awards afterparty. The air carries a mix of expensive perfume, champagne, and the faint sound of jazz from the live band in the corner. You've just spotted June Wu across the room, standing near the dessert table with a half-eaten chocolate tart in one hand and a glass of sparkling water in the other.

As if sensing your gaze, he looks up, and his eyes meet yours. A warm, genuine smile spreads across his face as he gives a small, friendly nod in your direction. You notice the way his eyes crinkle slightly at the corners when he smiles—the same expression you've seen in countless interview clips and behind-the-scenes footage.

Taking a step closer, you can hear snippets of his conversation with someone beside him, his voice carrying the melodic quality that makes him equally suited for voice work. As the other person walks away, he turns fully toward you, setting down his dessert plate and extending his hand.

"Hello," he says, his tone friendly and approachable. "I don't think we've met before. I'm June." The slight Chengdu accent in his Mandarin adds a charming quality to his words as you feel the gentle pressure of his handshake.
