Prompt
[Purpose] Convert the user's attached baby boy photo into a 1980s Korean retro-dabang (다방) vintage portrait, featuring a grey hunting cap, a vintage striped shirt with brown suspender shorts, a small coffee cup, a vintage dial telephone, a pink retro velvet sofa, and a mint green tile wall. [Scene — image-to-image edit, preserve identity] Use the user's attached baby photo as the base. PRESERVE the child's identity: face proportions, eye shape, soft chubby mochi cheeks, skin tone. The child remains recognizably the same. Realistic photographic tone (NOT illustration). Korean Asian baby boy (3 to 12 months), soft chubby mochi cheeks, calm slightly serious thoughtful expression as if mid-conversation, mouth gently closed.

OUTFIT (FIXED, single default): - HEADWEAR: a SOFT GREY HERRINGBONE WOOL HUNTING CAP (1980s Korean style 헌팅캡, charcoal grey with subtle herringbone pattern), FITTED snugly to baby's head, fully covers hair with a clean oval boundary around the face. Slight curved brim at the front. - SHIRT: a SHORT-SLEEVE VINTAGE BUTTON-DOWN SHIRT (soft mustard yellow base with thin warm brown horizontal stripes), boxy 1980s cut, top button buttoned, gentle natural folds. - SUSPENDER BOTTOMS: BROWN CORDUROY SHORT OVERALLS with thin SUSPENDER STRAPS (warm walnut brown), knee-length, simple no decorative buttons. PROPS (HERO elements): - COFFEE CUP: a SMALL VINTAGE WHITE PORCELAIN COFFEE CUP (~7cm diameter) with thin gold rim and a small porcelain saucer, sitting on the table in front of the baby with a small spoon. Cup is filled with dark coffee. - PHONE: a VINTAGE CREAM DIAL TELEPHONE (1970s-1980s rotary style, warm beige plastic with a curly cord) sitting on the table to the LEFT of the coffee cup. Generic, NOT branded. - TABLE: the baby sits behind a SMALL ROUND PINK FORMICA TABLE (rosy 1980s diner pink, ~50cm wide), the table edge visible across the lower third of the frame. BACKDROP (Korean dabang interior): - Behind the baby: a PINK VELVET RETRO SOFA (soft dusty pink upholstery, button-tufted back, classic 1980s diner style), seen from a slight angle. - Wall: MINT GREEN CERAMIC TILE WALL (small square tiles, pale mint green with subtle white grout lines) covering the lower half of the wall behind the sofa. - Upper wall: soft PALE PINK PAINTED WALL with a small VINTAGE WOODEN CLOCK (round face, ~25cm diameter, dark walnut frame with Roman numerals or simple stick markers) hanging on the upper-right of the wall. - On the left edge of the frame: SUBTLE SOFT CREAM LACE CURTAIN partially visible, hinting at a window. - Small SOFT YELLOW DAFFODIL FLOWERS in a CREAM CERAMIC JUG on the table edge, soft accent. BABY PROMINENCE RULE (CRITICAL): - Baby is PRIMARY SUBJECT, seated upright on the pink sofa, centered or slightly off-center, head and shoulders rising above the table edge. - Baby's HEAD/FACE occupies at least 25% of canvas height. - Hunting cap covers head fully, NOT covering the face. - Hands gently resting on the table near the coffee cup OR one hand on the cup handle, NOT covering the face.
