Bringing Korean Culinary to Every Stay 

Chef Jung Yongju

With more than 26 years of professional culinary experience, Chef Jung Yongju joins the Korean Culinary Enhancement Program as the program trainer, supporting Executive Chefs from across SONO Asia in strengthening authentic Korean culinary knowledge through practical, hands-on learning.


The program focuses on establishing practical Korean menu standards that can be consistently delivered across hotel kitchens. Through hands-on workshops and knowledge sharing, Executive Chefs learn ingredient selection, preparation techniques, flavor balance, and operational best practices that can be applied in daily hotel operations.

Operational Excellence

Rather than focusing on complex recipes, the training emphasizes menus that are practical to reproduce, operationally efficient, and designed to deliver a consistent dining experience for both Korean guests and international travelers.



Chef Jung's role is to share practical Korean culinary knowledge and standardized techniques that Executive Chefs can apply in their daily operations.
