“I was first introduced to Korean Fried Chicken while visiting South Korea on business. It opened my eyes to this new cuisine. Shortly after, I experienced Bonchon for the first time in New York City and instantly fell in love. As a member of the Bonchon team, I get to share that love with the rest of the world. Bonchon has now become the standard for Korean Fried Chicken and we’re just getting started.”

Passion. Success. Chicken.
Born in Busan, South Korea in 2002 by Jinduk Seo, Bonchon "My Hometown" in Korean is the passion of Mr. Seo who dreamt of sharing the favorite flavors of his hometown with the world. For two years, Mr. Seo obsessively perfected Bonchon’s signature sauces and fried chicken. He brought the brand to NYC in 2006 and as he put it "When police were dispatched to manage traffic around the new restaurant, I knew we had a winning formula."
