The car left downtown Seoul and headed to the outskirts of the city, toward a secluded restaurant. Upon arrival, a staff member approached Choi and led him inside. The place was a spacious, exclusive venue, the kind you might see in a drama.

As they walked down the hallway to the farthest room, the staff member gently knocked on the door and slid it open.
