Korean native, Juwan Kim is the Head Sommelier at LPM Restaurant & Bar in Central. Prior to this, he was head sommelier at Robuchon au Dome in Macau and Zuma Hong Kong, and he spent two years in London as one of the opening team members for Roka Mayfair and several years as a sommelier in his native Korea.

After discovering his love of wine, Juwan self studied and passed the WSET Level 3 in 2007. Juwan also studied for the Court of Master Sommelier (CMS) and Certified Specialist of Wine (CSW) qualifications. Among his accomplishments, he has represented Korea in the 2nd Asia-Oceania Best Sommelier Competition and ranked 5th. Also he has represented Hong Kong in the first Canadian Wine Sommelier Competition in Greater China in 2017 as Finalist. His passion for wine and food has taken him to many wine regions, including: Chile, France, Italy, Canada, Spain, China, Portugal and Japan. He has drawn inspiration from his travels abroad and taught him the true meaning of hospitality and service.

" I hope that I can introduce different opinions from other judges by my diverse working background. I'm working as sommelier for about 10 years in Korea, London, Macau and Hong Kong."

"My favourite part of judging is for debating for medal winner wines. I love to hear that why other judges want to give higher score to get the wines medals or vice versa. Basically learn things from judges who understand better about wine, competition itself than me. Again, it's a huge learning process for me to join in the competition."

"I particularly have interest for Pinot Nor and Sparkling wines. Wish I can get the luck to join in those categories judging!"
