You need a wider variety of foods to maintain good health. Kimchi and rice while being extremely healthy only go so far in doing that.

no, you need protein. add some meat, fish or tofu and you're closer to a balanced meal. still, eating nothing but that every day would probably leave you deficient in some nutrients.
