Shin Sang-mok, a former diplomat, narrowly escaped a terrorist attack in 2008, leading him to pursue his passion for food. Transitioning from diplomacy to culinary arts, he opened 'Kiriyama Honjin,' a udon restaurant in the bustling Gangnam district, inspired by a Japanese eatery from his study days. Recently, he launched 'Soul Noodles,' aiming to globalize 'K-noodles' with unique creations like 'Gomguksu' - featuring beef broth and homemade noodles. Shin's ultimate goal is to establish Korean noodles as a globally recognized cuisine, starting with his innovative 1.4mm noodle thickness that pairs perfectly with hearty Korean beef broth.
