Chef An Seong-jae, Searching for the Aesthetics Encapsulated in a Sheet of 'Gim'... 'K-Gim Revolution' Premieres Tomorrow (28th)

Michelin 3-star Chef An Seong-jae, who sparked a global culinary syndrome through Netflix 〈Black and White Chef〉, is now taking Korea's 'Gim' to the world stage. MBC's special documentary 〈K-Gim Revolution〉 will unveil tomorrow (28th) at 9 PM.

This documentary has garnered significant attention from the production stage as it marks Chef An Seong-jae's first challenge in documentary filmmaking, having dealt with the finest ingredients at the pinnacle of fine dining. He will delve deeply into the unique quality of 'Gim', the pride of Korean seafood products, and its limitless expansion potential in the global culinary market.

From Michelin Kitchens in San Francisco to Dining Tables in Wando Island Villages

Over the past year, Chef An Seong-jae has traveled the world in search of traces of 'Gim'. In particular, in San Francisco, he reunites with Chef Anthony, with whom he previously collaborated at a Michelin restaurant, to showcase an instant Gim cooking performance. Whether Chef An's unique sharp judging criteria displayed in 〈Black and White Chef〉 will be evident again, and what the identity of the Gim dish that passed his 'absolute palate' will be, are key points to watch.

The domestic journey is also intriguing. Visiting Soando in Wando, Jeollanam-do, Chef An Seong-jae presents a surprising 'mukbang' in front of a traditional water Gim dining table set by the head of the women's association. He expressed admiration for dishes like 'Gim Tteok', 'Gim Bokssam', and 'Gim Haeshintang', which are rustic yet rich in flavor, and it is rumored that he gained new inspiration to penetrate the global market from the most Korean flavors.

The Future of K-Seafood... Simultaneous Broadcast in 23 Countries Worldwide

〈K-Gim Revolution〉 goes beyond simple culinary exploration to illuminate the current state of Korea's Gim farming and processing industry. It will comprehensively convey the excellence of the integrated seafood export brand 'K·FISH', which has built trust in the global market through a thorough quality management system, and will look into the future competitiveness of Korean seafood.

A solid distribution channel for global viewers has also been secured. In Korea, it will be released simultaneously on MBC and the OTT platform 'Wavve', and in the United States, it will be broadcast through 'MBC America'. Additionally, starting from March 27, it will be sequentially broadcast in 23 Asian countries including Taiwan and Hong Kong, as well as in Europe, preparing to announce the status of 'K-Gim' to the world.

The new narrative of a sheet of Gim and Chef An Seong-jae's philosophy meet in 〈K-Gim Revolution〉, which will reach viewers tomorrow (28th) at 9 PM.
