The Background
35-year-old MBA Holder with a Finance, Estate Valuation background turned Restaurateur Mr Chris Chun (above) is the second generation of Koreans who emigrated to The Outback in the 1990's. Chris's maternal aunt desiring to preserve the Korean culture and its unique Cuisine, opened a chain of Korean restaurants in Australia as well as New Zealand.
Back in his teenage years he grew up watching his parents & maternal aunt grew the family F&B business in Australia & New Zealand. At its peak the family restaurant chain grew to more than 40 outlets throughout Australia & New Zealand. This is not the first time that Chris dabbled in the F&B Industry. When he was 21, he owned his first very own restaurant serving European Cuisine.
Chris realise there is great potential for Korean Cuisine here in Singapore seeing that the locals here are very receptive towards discovering and embracing Korean culture as a result mainly of the media airing of popular Korean TV Dramas serials that had captivated the hearts of many Singaporeans here. He set up The Corner Place Korean BBQ to provide authentic traditional Korean Cuisine to the locals here.

Having grown up in Australia with him completing his MBA from New Zealand, Chris gets his meat chilled by the container load monthly from Australia & New Zealand as he believes these two countries produce really good decent beef.
