Jungsik Opens in Seoul's Gangnam District
ESTIMÉCONFIANCE 70 %Wikipedia[1] says only that "the restaurant first opened in Seoul in 2009", giving no month or day, so the pin sits on that year's last day.
Jungsik Yim opened Jungsik in Seoul in 2009 with an argument to make: that Korean cooking belonged in fine dining on its own terms rather than as a set of borrowed French techniques. The restaurant went on to hold two Michelin stars in Seoul and opened a New York sibling that earned three, making it one of the few Korean names to carry that weight abroad.
