Chef Kang has already built an impressive resume overseas, although still in his early 30s.

He established himself as a leader in the Korean food contemporary field. If there’s one identity that Mingles can claim, it’s that of serving innovative ”Hansik”- traditional Korean - food. “I use different Korean herbs and ingredients that are in season, as well as traditional sauces and fermented vinegar to create my dishes,” Kang explains. The name of his restaurant, “Mingles” comes from the chef Mingoo Kang’s name, it also signifies a “harmonious mix of different things.” His Seoul restaurant, voted the best restaurant in Korea, is a space where the young 2 Michelin stars chef’s dreams, experiences and philosophy all come together. The 2 Michelin stars chef constantly works to be better today than he was yesterday and consciously uses precise components in his dishes, similar to the precision of a watch movement. This is exactly the same vision Hublot has in the watchmaking world. Hublot is a brand that honors tradition while fusing and innovating, When I look at Hublot watches, I realize that they are very similar to “Mingles”, which respects tradition but pursues change and innovation by adding today's sensibilities. I will always keep a watch with these values close at hand to remind me of the preciousness of time." said Chef Kang. “His philosophy towards cuisine is exactly same as that of our Maison towards watches, "To be First, Unique and Different." Mingoo Kang has relentlessly created new and exquisite dishes beyond existing customs and rules, while he is one of the chefs who make best use of traditional ingredients. I believe he will embody the value of Hublot in his work in a most beautiful and audacious way.” RICARDO GUADALUPE HUBLOT CEO Aktuelle Neuigkeiten MIT EINEM KLICK IN DEN SOMMERMODUS 5.
