"You may step back now, Minjae. Thank you for your performance."
Minjae bowed deeply to the judges before stepping off the performance area. His heartbeat was steady now, the adrenaline slowly fading.
As he reached the side where the other actors were waiting, he straightened his posture and bowed respectfully toward them.
"Thank you for watching seniors," he said, his voice was soft but sincere.
Jaehyun was the first to speak among the three.
"You were solid," he said with a nod. "It's better than I expected."
Hyunwoo gave a faint smile, patting Minjae on the shoulder once.
"You've got something, Minjae. Whatever it is, keep holding onto it."
Even Seungmin tilted his head slightly and gave a warm smile to Minjae.
"It was such a nice performance. Good job."
Minjae chuckled lightly, bowing again in respect.
"I'll keep doing my best."
