Mingles, a Korean fine dining restaurant by Chef Kang Min-gu, has been awarded the prestigious Michelin 3 stars. This reflects a growing trend among the 2030 generation in Korea, for whom gourmet dining is considered an investment in expanding experiences and preferences. Social media influences their interest, as they frequently visit and share experiences from popular restaurants. However, concerns about high dining costs have led to the popularity of 'restaurant-to-go' meals, offering gourmet experiences at a more affordable price. Young generations show enthusiasm for these options, aligning with their desire for new culinary experiences without the high price tag.
