The lights on the stage softened slightly as Lee Dami set her cue cards down and turned toward the audience once more, her tone shifting into something brighter and more interactive.
"Now that we've warmed up a little, it's time to move into the first segment of today's event," she announced. "We're calling this part 'Ask the Stars!'—a special Q&A session between the cast and all of you lovely fans!"
The crowd erupted into excited cheers. A few had already begun holding up question cards and waving their hands.
Dami raised her hand playfully.
"Wait, wait—before we start picking questions, let's all agree on one thing, alright?"
She looked around at the crowd before turning toward the cast. "Some questions might be personal or unexpected, but if any of our cast members choose not to answer, can we respect that?"
A collective "Yes!" echoed from the crowd, followed by scattered clapping.
"We love you no matter what!" someone shouted.
"You don't have to answer everything, oppa!"
