Most people do not know the global chef high school located in Ganghwa Island, a land of history and culture
I departed for Ganghwa Island early Sunday morning. When I went there in person, it was true that it was a ‘dream cooking school to cook for the future.’ I visited the best chef high school in Korea, a school that is expanding into the world.
Most people do not know that this school is located in Ganghwa Island, a land of history and culture. I couldn’t help but be surprised when I went and saw it. It is acceptable to place facilities, systems, and members anywhere in the world.
When Korea was poor, most of those who became chefs made a living
Due to the influence of Confucianism, Korea has been steeped in farming, and industrialism for a long time. Law school and medical school are still the most popular. However, for those who do not pursue that path, law school or medical school is meaningless. As I lived life, I learned that there is no right answer in life, or that everything can be right. Isn’t the path to happiness one’s own the right answer?!
A famous Japanese chef said this. “Being a chef is a job that involves getting paid and being told thank you. I earn a lot of money every day, and every day, I hear from hundreds of people saying they enjoyed their meal or thanking me. How happy is this life?” In fact, he always had a smiling face. Everyone feels rewarded and happy when they do something they like.
During the time of President Lee Myung-bak, more than 100 billion won in taxes was spent to ‘promote the globalization of Korean food.’
Chinese people live all over the world and make money by selling food. They say “The business that thrives – even during war- is the food business.” Eating is an important issue for everyone every day. If you don’t have a house, you can sleep on the streets. If you don’t have clothes, you can live as a gentleman wearing only one suit. But if you don’t eat it, you die.
When Korea was poor, most of those who became chefs made a living. However, these days, an increasing number of people are engaging in food-related work based on their talents or hobbies. Many people around the world turn food into art with their own hands. Men are blossoming into chefs; a common phenomenon everywhere in the world.
In Korean society, those who are the best cooking experts and have risen to the rank of master chefs live politely and do not go out in public. However, those who know how to cook to some degree and have celebrity qualities appear on various TVs. Some people, like CEO Baek Jong-won, become successful businessmen through food. We live in an era where people are constantly appearing overseas and writing new history through Korean food.
The restaurant industry has now entered an era of rapid change. With the Korean Wave, it is a good time to spread Korean food around the world. ‘Korea Global Chef High School’, is seeking transformation with the goal of nurturing global talent. It also has a world-class, unrivaled system. Korean food has a bright reputation around the world as a healthy and well-being food.
During the time of President Lee Myung-bak, more than 100 billion won in taxes was spent to ‘promote the globalization of Korean food.’ It was a crushing defeat, but no one takes responsibility. Most of them only focus on the paper work that collects the people’s taxes and stop at flashy events. And how many times is that the end, leaving only all kinds of photos and data?
A famous Japanese chef said this. “Being a chef is a job that involves getting paid and being told thank you.
In the end, a determined will is needed. We need to move boldly and help local people succeed with Korean food. The time has come to make the seeds sown at ‘Korea Global Chef High School’, the cradle of global chefs, bloom into flowers.
