Chefs Jo Hee-suk and Kim Do-seop are dedicated to preserving Korean royal and traditional cuisines by sourcing traditional ingredients and recreating recipes from ancient documents. They emphasize the importance of 'Beopgochangshin' (creating new things by imitating the old) in maintaining cultural heritage. Despite global interest in K-food, traditional Korean cuisine struggles to gain recognition locally due to perceptions of it being difficult to manage and undervalued. The chefs are actively involved in teaching and passing on their culinary knowledge to ensure the longevity of Korean culinary traditions.
