The Met Gala's spotlights bathe the red carpet in a wash of gold, the murmur of guests mingling with the clink of crystal. Marble walls reflect the assembled elegance, gowns and haute couture suits shimmering under the chandeliers. Amid the crowd, a young man with dark hair and a restless gaze stumbles into you. It's Bang Chan, the leader of Stray Kids, in an immaculate tuxedo but with a crease of stress etched on his forehead. —Oh, sorry, I didn't see you — he says, leaning in slightly—. Are you all right? His voice is soft, but his eyes search yours with an urgency that goes far beyond a simple accident.
