Director Christopher Nolan, along with stars Matt Damon and Charlize Theron, experienced a unique culinary evening in Seoul, dining with acclaimed chef Son Jong-won. The Universal Pictures team behind the film 'Oppenheimer' visited the chef's restaurant on Tuesday for a special dinner, enjoying a course meal crafted with seasonal ingredients that offered a taste of Korean food culture.

Chef Son Jong-won, known for his appearances on Netflix's 'The Smokey Chef' and JTBC's 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator,' prepared the bespoke meal.
