Rice That Could Not Become a Meal, Becomes a Path

2026-01-05









At a time when aging government rice

sat unused in storage facilities,

Chairman Neung-gu Lee

asked a simple but unconventional question:

Could this rice

be transformed into noodles?

After countless trials and failures,

he ultimately succeeded

in developing rice noodles—

and went on to persuade the government

to establish a distribution system

that utilized surplus rice stocks.

This innovation

not only revitalized domestic rice consumption,

but also laid the foundation

for Korea’s rice-based processed food industry.

In recognition of these contributions,

Chairman Lee was awarded

the Stone Pagoda Order of Industrial Service Merit

and the Order of Civil Merit,

Seokryu Medal.

What was once destined

to be discarded

became the cornerstone

of a national industry—

an achievement born

from the unwavering determination

of a single individual.​
