The Michelin Guide this week revealed six restaurants in South Korea's capital Seoul that will be included in next year's guide.
The guide typically announces its full list of starred restaurants for Seoul and Busan every February.
'After the official release of the Michelin Guide, a large number of visitors typically flock in, so we recommend people visit earlier before other gourmets start moving,' the guide said in a statement regarding the early release.
The newly named restaurants are Doori, Bium, GiwaKang and Gosari Express, which all serve Korean cuisine; Onyva, a French restaurant; and Sobakeeri Suzu, which specialises in Japanese dishes.

Crystal Climate Charity Foundation, Crystal International Group Limited x HK Repertory Theatre Interactive Educational Theatre promotes 'Crystal Net Zero 2050'
[The content of this article has been produced by our advertising partner.] Advertisement Climate change has brought serious consequences to the world, resulting in an urgency to achieve net zero carbon emissions standards and educate the next generation about environmental protection. Fully supported by the Crystal Climate Charity Foundation (the 'Climate Foundation') and Crystal International Group Limited ('Crystal Group'), the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre ('HKRep') has devised and produced 'Crystal Net Zero 2050' touring kindergartens across Hong Kong, performing an interactive play 'Carbon Reduction Alliance Saves Our Earth' following heroes of the Carbon Reduction Alliance as they combat the Carbon Emission Monster. Last year, the HKRep performed this dynamic interactive drama in 20 schools, teaching students about environmental protection and encouraging them to bring such knowledge back to their families so everyone can contribute to building a better future. Mr. Mike Chow, Head of Education Hub and the playwright, director and producer of 'Carbon Reduction Alliance Saves Our Earth', said 'Through a fun theatrical approach, kindergarteners can easily grasp the importance of reducing their carbon footprint and adopting sustainable habits from an early age.' The Climate Foundation has long been dedicated to relieving climate poverty and promoting climate education. It firmly believes that education is the cornerstone to sustainable carbon reduction. Mr. Edmund Ng, the Foundation Secretary of the Climate Foundation and Company Secretary of Crystal Group, said 'Last year, we witnessed students immersing themselves in the story, which reaffirms for us that educational theatre can plant the seeds of environmental consciousness in children's hearts, fostering sustainability in living with carbon stewardship. This year we continue to support the HKRep in this effort, hoping that even more children and their families can benefit from these educational performances, working towards in building a better future in reaching 'Crystal Net Zero 2050'.' Riding on its success last year, the HKRep has toured more than 30 schools in the past school term. HKRep plans to visit more kindergartens in the upcoming school year, spreading the word to more children about carbon stewardship.

Singapore radio code's grouping of homosexuality with criminal acts sparks calls for review
A Singaporean actor and blogger have taken issue with a clause in the city state's radio broadcast code that groups homosexuality with paedophilia and incest as 'lifestyles' that are not allowed on the airwaves. Former radio DJ Benjamin Lee, better known in Singapore as the blogger Mr Miyagi, said he asked the government to consider removing the clause and reviewing the code that all radio presenters had to sign as part of their contracts. 'I'm guilty of having signed this too, because, well, I wanted to keep my DJ job,' Lee wrote in a social media post on June 23. Lee told This Week in Asia that he brought the issue up at the 40th anniversary of Reach, the feedback-gathering department of the Ministry of Digital Development and Information, in March but had yet to hear back. 'The document author's intent is clear: to position homosexuality as a crime alongside paedophilia and incest. This has no place in post-377A Singapore,' Lee wrote. In January 2023, Singapore struck off Section 377A of the Penal Code, which criminalised sex between men.

China's power bank crackdown: 6 preflight answers for wary travellers
China's aviation authorities have imposed an emergency ban on air passengers' carrying substandard power banks, catching many travellers off guard The safety precaution, which went into effect on June 28, two days after being announced by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), has triggered questions and concerns. Here are six points that people travelling to and within China need to know – from which power banks are still allowed, to what can be done with ineligible ones at the airport. 1. What constitutes a 'substandard' power bank? China Compulsory Certification (CCC), also known as '3C certification', is a mandatory safety and quality-assurance standard for many products sold in China, ensuring they meet specific safety, health and environmental impact standards. Managed by China's State Administration for Market Regulation, the system legally requires products listed in the 3C catalogue to obtain certification before they can be manufactured, sold, imported or used. Any power bank without 3C certification – denoted by a mark that can be seen on the surface – is deemed substandard. Airports will establish areas for passengers to discard or temporarily store non-compliant power banks, and provide mailing services as required by the CAAC. Passengers can also choose to handle their intercepted power banks during security checks, based on their needs.
