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.
