| Pop-up restaurants finally make their way to Seoul Posted: 19 Sep 2012 03:20 PM PDT In recent years, the ever-changing Seoul restaurant landscape has seen more foreign food enter the formerly homogeneous Korean culinary scene -- and the latest international import may bring more opportunities than ever. Pop-up restaurants are finally pushing their way into Seoul, and it's no wonder, in a city that thrives on quick-changing trends, social media sites and well -- food. Global contextThe pop-up concept -- setting up shop in a location for a limited time, usually less than a day, before shutting down and moving somewhere new -- has become a major trend in certain cities overseas.

Chefs now can display their talent at multiple spaces, and groups like Free Company -- a collaborative of chefs -- have made a business out of popping up in various locations with unique menus.
