[ruby_title][dropcap type=”background”]6[/dropcap] South Korea: Terry Kim, Alice Cheongdam [/ruby_title]

Terry Kim studied hotel and tourism management at Suwon University and jumped into a bartending career in a hotel after completing his military service. Now, aged 32, Terry is considered one of South Korea’s leading bartenders after opening his own bar, Alice Cheongdam, in 2015 – a speakeasy that’s like a “hidden garden”, where drinks are known for their elaborate floral garnishes. The bar was ranked number 15 on the 2017 Asia’s 50 Best Bars list, and won the best Korean bar the same year.
