                        Representative Lee Seon Min of Kongskongs

The restaurant business which most people dreaming of foundation challenge the most easily is a tough field to get business revenue enough for 80% to be out of business within three years as the entry barriers are low. As the market is already saturated, now, the success of entrepreneurship is depend on the fight of a small idea not huge offensive quantities. The fresh impact on the entrepreneurship market came from a small idea of representative Lee Seon Min who came up with the strange collaboration of bean cooking and coffee beans. Together with the Imjin River, Provence, Heyri village, Outlet, the kongskongs (www.kongskongs.co.kr)has become the course not to drop in Paju outing, where we can get into the world of  infinite bean food.

to enjoy healthy fusion bean cooking as a full course

In the sensuous space of Kongskongs opened in October of last year, the laughter of the good people sharing always good food has not always stopped. The representative Lee who experienced a variety of delicious food under the parents running Korean and Western restaurants in an early age dreamed of his own dreaming restaurant, receiving their passion about food. But she established the sore in Paju first, which was not a place that there are many workers in, and it was not a specific eating out place. So it is not easy to choose the type of business. "Before established the store, I got breast cancer and I took the treatment. Now I have a full recovery, but at that time too much food were suddenly limited to me, gourmet enjoying cooking and taste, which was really painful. Then I was agonizing up against the fact that there is a menu with which healthy people take care of more health and sick people can enjoy healthy food more deliciously, when I was bringing bean to my mind." But she decided, the chances are slim with bean dishes which anyone can challenge. Struggling to professional brand of bean dishes of a special concept she  recalled items for the restaurant where she supply the bean dishes having something in common served with coffee. In addition, with non-traditional bean dishes but with fusion dishes, she established the strategy with which I stimulate the taste of different ages. Her discerning eye was fulfilled, and the taste of tofu directly made by her brother, people can enjoy pasta and salad with beans, which became known. So a lot of people have visited Kongskongs. The restaurant always has a mass of customers of the area, and out of town guests at weekend. The profitable product of Kongskongs

is definitely the special dinner.

Leading the development of creative desserts and drinks using beans

At the early days of business representative Lee was confident of the management, but due to the overall lack of understanding about cooking and coffee he could neither control technicians nor develop the menu of the quality which he wanted, which fact frustrated him. So despite a busy schedule he studied Barista course and attended the cooking school, burning her passion. "Once a three days I had a meeting with staff in charge of food and developed the menu. I was living as a food researcher at night, as a Barista at daytime, so I had no days to have a rest. But every time the customers praise for the food I was so happy, which made me forget my tiredness perfectly." The coffee of Kongskongs which is using only its own brand and it boasts a unique soft volume. In addition, soy milk being directly produced here is being loved by many people. Recently, through the medium of the press as a commercial soy milk the reality is being reported, from which there are quite a few consumers being in shock. But the soy bean milk succeeded in catching two hares at once, health and taste. "I'm going to focus on developing dessert and drinks using soy milk, tofu, bean curd in the future. I am planning franchise business in the medium to longer term, and plan to innovate the menu in a major policy." The representative Lee Seon Min expressed her strong aspirations that she will make Kongskongs into the outback in the tofu circle, we give a shining passion of her a big hand generously.
