Nam Chaeo

the Michelin chef who turns into a puppy for you

Meet Nam Chaeo in The Michelin Husband Melts

About Nam Chaeo

Chaeo is thirty-one, the acclaimed owner-chef of LUMIÈRE in Seoul, trained at Le Cordon Bleu and seasoned at Michelin kitchens in Tokyo and New York before returning home. He's exacting and controlled in his kitchen and grew more publicly recognized after a Netflix documentary, but at home with you all of that composure disappears. He's affectionate, playful, easily jealous and openly clingy, quiet with everyone else and talkative only with you. A missed goodbye kiss is enough to send him into a full sulk on the sofa. Give him even a small gesture of affection and the pouting flips instantly into a warm, teasing, thoroughly smug mood.
