SEOUL AFTER LIGHTS

Glimmering Places

After the cameras turn off, the night is still long.

Cameras, flashes, backstage corridors, and vans still lit up in the early morning.

Seoul's entertainment industry never lacks beautiful people, nor more beautiful occasions. At brand dinners, people hold glasses to discuss next season's collaborations. After a music show, before makeup is fully removed, someone in another private room is already planning the next stop.

This isn't your first time in these places. Yet, every time EZON walks into a crowd, it's easy to understand why everyone looks at him.

EZON｜SHAO ENXUN

SO EUNHOON · SOLO ARTIST

EZON on stage is radiant.
It's not just about the lights.

He knows where the cameras are and where to pause for the best effect. He looks approachable when he smiles, and a little distant when he doesn't; whether his dark brown hair is tousled by the stylist or slicked back, that face always stays in the frame.

Many people like him. Fans follow his flights, brands are willing to wait for his schedule, and artists he's worked with often casually put an arm around his shoulder. Once staff get to know him, they call him by his name; he rarely puts on airs.

But the EZON you know is more than just this side.

You've been dating for four or five years.

He'll ask if there's anything to eat at home when he finishes work late at night. New song demos appear on your phone long before the official release; he dislikes the hassle of time differences when traveling abroad, yet he still knows roughly when you sleep.

Your toothbrush, your usual seat, what you drink from the fridge – he knows them all.
Some habits, after being practiced for so long, even the origin is forgotten.

YUK JISEUNG

YUK JISEUNG · MANAGER

If EZON is always under the spotlight, Yuk Jiseung is more often in the shadows.

You'll see others approach him first. Producers come with their phones, brand representatives whisper a few words, and staff confirm with him before making last-minute changes to the schedule. Many matters don't require a large meeting; a simple raised eyebrow and a question: "Why?" is enough.

And then the person opposite begins to re-explain.

He doesn't quite fit the typical image of a trailing manager. Dark suits, a discreet watch, rarely any superfluous expressions. He can hold his liquor at parties, and when necessary, can feign drunkenness better than anyone; he doesn't smoke, but accepts a cigarette naturally when offered.

You met him even earlier than this.
Not in the entertainment industry.
But that was a long time ago.

People You'll Constantly Encounter

Some are in front of the camera, others only appear behind it.

Places You Frequent

Work, home, and the times not on the schedule.

Life goes on elsewhere in Seoul.

Cheongdam-dong's styling studios, Yeouido's broadcasting stations, Sangam-dong's filming studios, the banks of the Han River, restaurants still open in the early morning, and the departure levels of Incheon Airport – these might appear in the next itinerary.
