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.

Doori is known for its zero-waste philosophy, with dishes designed around sustainability – for example, tarts and soups made using tomato skins.

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.

Hong Kong water taxis, harbour cruise firm cash in on aircraft carrier's visit
Some water transport operators are cashing in on the high-profile visit of the Chinese aircraft carrier Shandong and its strike fleet to Hong Kong by ferrying visitors for a better look, although marine police have stopped their vessels from getting close. Hong Kong Water Taxi, owned by the Oriental Pearl Cruise Company, organised special sightseeing tours for visitors to get a closer look on Thursday afternoon, and demand was so strong that it was adding more trips on Friday. Another firm, Harbour Cruise Bauhinia, is offering a three-hour afternoon tea voyage on Saturday for HK$180 for adults and children and HK$90 for the elderly, with a highlight of seeing the Shandong from a distance. The Shandong, China's first home-made warship, was accompanied by the missile destroyers Yanan and Zhanjiang, as well as the missile frigate Yuncheng, on its five-day visit from Thursday to Monday.
