Just Jae (2025)
In bustling Seoul, Jae Park, a “perfect” Korean-American high school student, dreams of breaking into the K-pop world. When a talent scout discovers him at a bus stop, Jae’s life explodes overnight—from classrooms and basketball courts to brutal dance studios and blinding stage lights under millions of fans. But under relentless perfectionism, Jae slowly loses the joy that first inspired him. His smile becomes performance; his identity, a product. Alongside Shin, an older trainee hardened by years of waiting and poverty, Jae confronts the price of success: the isolation, exhaustion, and loss of self. When the group debuts, Shin finally earns the spotlight Jae no longer recognizes. Through a reflective college interview, Jae realizing that the bravest act may be stepping away from the stage. "Just Jae" is a story about authenticity and explores the courage it takes to walk away when ambition threatens humanity.
