Naturement, a food-culture content company, planned and produced the special dinner for the 2025 APEC CEO Summit, presenting Korean temple cuisine (sachal eumsik) to international leaders on the 30th. Master Seonjae, a renowned temple-food chef, prepared and lectured on the theme “The Aesthetics of Emptiness and the Philosophy of Coexistence,” serving seasonal, course-style dishes that blend traditional methods with modern interpretations. The menu emphasizes respect for nature and the essence of food, highlighting temple cuisine as more than tradition—it's a symbol of sustainable ecology and inner peace, says Naturement CEO Hong Seong-mi. The company, known for promoting the idea that “food is culture,” hopes this appearance will raise the global profile of Korean food-culture content and the domestic industry’s competitiveness.
