What The Man Standing Next is
Seoul, winter 1979. Snow falls on an empty interrogation room, a tape recorder blinking red. A disgraced intelligence chief boards a night flight with secrets coiled like wire in his coat. Feels like a Park Chan-kyong edit of *All the President’s Men*—cold, precise, no heroes left.
