ABOUT HANSONG KIM
Chef and entrepreneur with 20+ years of experience in Korean and American kitchens, leading innovation at the intersection of authentic Korean cuisine and fast-casual dining. I am the founder of SFC Seoul Fried Chicken, one of America’s first halal-certified Korean fried chicken brands, and Handsome Rice, a Korean bento shop in Manhattan. From building unique flavor profiles to establishing scalable QSR models, I specialize in creating food concepts that resonate with multicultural audiences. My mission is to make bold, craveable Korean flavors more accessible—whether it\'s on a plate or through a franchise. Currently focused on franchise expansion, kitchen operation systems, and brand storytelling that connects food with culture.
