The Buyer | Celine Jung on her dream of being Korea’s 1st female Master Sommelier

”For me, pursuing the Master Sommelier title is not just about earning a certification - it is about becoming the best version of myself as a professional and contributing meaningfully to the wine community.” That’s what drives Celine Jung on in her career as one of Asia’s leading sommeliers, a former Singapore Sommelier of the Year in 2020 and the current deputy wine director and head of membership at Park90 at the Conrad Singapore Orchard hotel. Here she describes how she studied endlessly in order to become a sommelier and is now hoping to take that training as far as becoming a Master Sommelier - and the first female Korean to do so.
