Hyungkyu Jun
Trained at the finest Michelin-starred restaurants in Europe and the US, Hyungkyu Jun happily shares his experiences with the blessing of his mentors Massimo Bottura and Karime López, establishing a contemporary and empowering vision of Italian-Korean cuisine in Seoul.
One of the key figures in the new Italian cultural Renaissance is Massimo Bottura of three Michelin-starred Osteria Francescana in Modena. Granting Hyungkyu Jun the freedom to be expressive and progressive, Massimo gave his blessing, challenging him to be daring. With this in mind, Jun has the support and opportunity to evolve, pushing both Italian and Korean cuisine to new levels.
