JAI by ONESIAM's Extraordinary Experiences

Upon entering the iconic Korea Furniture Museum, guests were welcomed by traditional Korean musicians in a village setting showcasing 10 traditional 'Hanok' houses that illustrate how Korean nobility lived during the Joseon dynasty. Guests then toured the palatial main building containing some 2,500 pieces of rare furniture from the owner's private collection before entering the private dining hall to a setting personally curated by museum owner Chyung Mi-sook.

A special 6 course dinner curated with the theme Journey Without Borders saw a special collaboration by 2 Michelin star chef Jungsik Yim (Jungsik Seoul and Jungsik New York), 1 Micheline star chef Wilfrid Hocquet (Blue by Alain Ducasse) and chef Dej Kewkacha (Kyo Bangkok) bring rare and luxurious ingredients from their respective home countries together.

Extraordinary culinary experience was curated cold starter by Chef Jungsik Yim. The idea is to allow a fresh twist to familiar cultural elements in Korean cuisine, making the dishes fun and exciting. This is how the restaurant's signature dish, 'Gimbap', was created. I use only the finest ingredients to make Jungsik Seoul's Gimbap different from traditional Gimbap.

"This is a one-of-a-kind collaboration between three chefs from three different cuisine. For myself, I'm responsible for the main course. I tried to mix Tom Yum flavor from Thailand. I chose Korean beef and cook them by using the French cooking technique then served along side with Tom Yum Risotto – it's like a mix of different flavors and cultures in one dish" said Chef Jungsik Yim.

Additional support was provided by Gentle Monster, the iconic Korean eyewear brand that has expanded globally. Founder and CEO of Gentle Monster Kim Hankook created custom gifts especially for the evening, a metallic memento that allow guests of JAI by ONESIAM and its members to redeem eyewear of their choice at any Gentle Monster stores globally with no price limit.

"Gentle Monster has always been committed to crafting experiences that challenge the ordinary and celebrate individuality. Collaborating with JAI by ONESIAM at the Korea Furniture Museum was a natural fit for us, as it represents a meeting point of art, culture, and innovation. We are delighted to present a specially created, custom-made gift designed for this remarkable event, as a token of our shared vision of a borderless journey in luxury and style." Said Kim Hankook, Founder and CEO of Gentle Monster

The evening ended with guests taking photos with celebrities and members of the community networking to collaborate for the next JAI by ONESIAM event before embarking on a walk across the stunning gardens of the museum.

Paulie Sirisant, CEO of Vibal Corporation, one of JAI by ONESIAM's founding member said: "Journey Without Borders was such a magical event and I am truly honoured to be a member and enjoy the benefits the access provides"
