Who is Rice Guy?

A little about me

I thought I might share a little more about me as I never really got the chance. First and foremost, I love rice and anything rice related. I wouldn’t say I’m a good cook, however, I can say I’m really good at the eating part! I was originally born in Seoul, South Korea and moved to a little country called New Zealand - where I grew up most of my life. Feel free to ask me anything about New Zealand (if you ever plan on visiting). 
I haven’t told anyone this before, but when I was young, I always wanted to be a firefighter! There was just something about firefighters that had me really look up to – a selfless real life hero, is what I think I saw. Although, I took a very traditional path, pursuing a corporate career, it always stuck with me though, the idea that I wanted to do something to give back to society. 
Through my 1gram of rice bench press for every follower challenge, I thought this would be a perfect opportunity for me to do something for a good cause and also put a smile on people’s faces in the progress. Who knew that people wanted to see me lift rice bags! I’m super grateful for all the support I’ve been getting from my fellow rice grams – you guys are the MVPs. 
I’d like to think my journey has just begun, and I want to continue making people smile and also give back to society where I can. Follow my journey on: https://www.instagram.com/gunwoobench
