Chef Sung Si-woo leads 'Regume', a fine vegan dining restaurant in Seoul, which recently received a Michelin star. Despite Korea's traditional vegetable-based dishes like bibimbap, dedicated vegan restaurants are rare. Sung's culinary creations are known for intense and delicate flavors, defying stereotypes about bland vegan food. The restaurant utilizes unique ingredients like 'tonburi' for innovative dishes and has gained popularity among vegan communities despite initial struggles. Sung aspires to expand and bring more versatile vegetarian dishes to everyday dining.
