Listen "Charles, Director of Canada Samchoon"
Episode Synopsis
Charles is a proud Canadian who settled in Korea in 2006 after visiting his sister, and spent over a decade living in Ulsan before falling in love with Jeju. Now the owner of “Canada Samchoon,” he runs a cozy and character-filled restaurant that he built mostly by himself. Featuring a warm wood stove and unique teak flooring, the space reflects his hands-on approach and personal taste. His menu combines favorites from both cultures—lobster from Canada and rose tteokbokki from Korea—along with playful dishes like pineapple kimchi and maple pork. Having appeared on My Neighbor Charles and a KBS Jeju documentary, he has shared his Jeju life with a wider audience and calls the island his second home. Looking ahead, he hopes to expand Canada Samchoon beyond Jeju and into other parts of Korea.
