    i. Biography

    Coming Up

    Labyrinth in Singapore is the fixed point in LG Han’s practice. Founded in 2014 and still led by Han, the restaurant has carried his authorship from opening to the present, with founder and chef functioning as working roles rather than passing titles. The line is unusually direct: one address, one long tenure, one restaurant shaped under the same hand for more than a decade.

    Where They Are Now

    At Labyrinth, LG Han holds the two roles that define the operation: founder and chef. One sets the framework of the restaurant; the other drives the daily work inside it. Since 2014, that pairing has kept the restaurant’s identity anchored to a single source, and the continuity of the role matters as much as the role itself. The result is a practice marked by duration, not turnover. Han’s current public profile remains tied to that Singapore address. Labyrinth is where his name is read through the work, and the work is read through the restaurant. That kind of identification is practical in this trade: the room, the menu, and the chef are understood together, with no separation between authorship and venue.

    Signature

    Foie Gras and Homage to My Singapore are among LG’s signature dishes. The pairing shows range without spectacle: one dish points to richness and technique, the other to a more personal register of place. Read together, they describe a kitchen that works across different modes while keeping its frame intact at Labyrinth. The names alone place the dishes in relation to his broader style.

    Honors

    Michelin star is the key recognition attached to LG Han’s work. Awarded in 2017, it followed the restaurant he had already established in 2014 and gave formal weight to the standard being maintained at Labyrinth. For a chef whose public identity is closely bound to one dining room, the award functions as a clear marker of standing within the trade, linked directly to the restaurant he founded and still leads.
