The owner-chef and namesake of the restaurant is Kang Minchul. Kang studied cooking in Korea until university. At age 24, he worked in hotels and restaurants in the United States. He then moved to France. He reportedly received training from French chefs such as Joël Robuchon, Alain Ducasse, and Pierre Gagnaire. A kimchi dish that he created reportedly appeared on the menu of a three-starred Pierre Gagnaire restaurant in France.
