1943 Classic Wevelopment is a themed restaurant-and-bar concept serving Korean street food and snack plates alongside alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The menu includes items prepared with proprietary sauces, and the bar program features frosty beer served in thin ice glasses. Restaurants are designed with a Hanok-inspired look and retro visual accents tied to a 1943-in-Korea theme.

In the United States, the franchisor, Wevelopment USA, Inc., was formed in 2024 and is based in Los Angeles, California, with a parent company in Ansan, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea.
