Chef Im Seong-geun, who appeared on Netflix’s “The Black and White Chef: Class War in the Kitchen Season 2,” has opened a new three-story restaurant in Paju, Gyeonggi Province. On his social media, Chef Im expressed his gratitude, saying he would repay the customers who have waited so long with food prepared with the utmost care.
Chef Im Seong-geun noted that the preparations for the grand opening were not easy, but he did his best to ensure he could offer the best flavors to his customers. He said that seeing customers enjoy their meals brings him the greatest joy and promised to continue his unwavering efforts.
Chef Im Seong-geun, who first gained recognition as the winner of “Korean Cuisine Battle 3,” drew attention for his outstanding culinary skills during his appearance on “The Black and White Chef.” However, he subsequently suspended his broadcasting activities after his past convictions for drunk driving and assault came to light.
Since then, Chef Im Seong-geun announced his return via his YouTube channel last February and has been preparing to open the restaurant since March. Although he had originally planned to open in June, the schedule was slightly delayed, and the restaurant has now officially begun operations.
