An Seongjae Attending Seoul City Council Audit: "Black and White Chef Revives Food Service Industry"

"Seoul City Prepares Measures to Support Small Business Owners"

Chef An Seongjae, the only Michelin 3-star chef in Korea, said on the 8th, "I would appreciate it if (Seoul city) could prepare various measures to help small business owners and view this positively."

Chef An appeared as a witness at the administrative audit of the Seoul Metropolitan Council's Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee on the same day and stated, "The show Black and White Chefs was broadcast on the Netflix platform, and I believe it will have an economic effect that revitalizes the dining industry."

Chef An, who gained recognition as a judge on the recent Netflix cooking program Black and White Chefs, appeared as a witness at the city council regarding his restaurant Mosu Seoul, which he operated and was selected as a restaurant for Seoul Gourmet Week for four consecutive years.

He led Mosu Seoul, which received the highest rating of 3 stars in the latest edition (2024) of the Michelin Guide Seoul, which provides global gourmet information. Mosu Seoul, which opened in 2017, closed earlier this year after its contract with the investor CJ CheilJedang ended.

Regarding questions about the fairness of the gourmet selection project, Chef An replied, "Restaurants are very subjective, and ranking and scoring restaurants and dining industry workers would be very complicated and difficult," adding, "I also believe it should be as fair as possible."
