  JungsikSeolleung-ro 158-gil, Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul 06014, South Korea

  Starts 12/31/2009ESTIMATED70% CONFIDENCE16.7 years agoWikipedia^[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.

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.
