Chef Kim Tae-yun runs 'Our Planet,' a popup restaurant in Seoul's Seochon area, dedicated to sustainable dining. Kim's restaurant organizes events like 'Local Odyssey,' featuring local ingredients from South Korean regions such as vibrational midodeok and Nakdong River clams. He collaborates with producers and activists for workshops, emphasizing sustainability in food culture. Interestingly, Kim transitioned from a chef to an advocate for sustainable cooking after a severe car accident, relocating to Jirisan to remain close to nature. He believes sustainable dining shouldn't be a trend, but a genuine practice. Despite facing challenges in his projects, he continues developing his philosophy based on respect for ingredients and the people involved in food production.
