He made headlines[5] in Singapore after the announcement of the finalists, for being "pale and slim pretty boy" unlike the other contestants.
He later went on to become the first Asian model for Coldwear, regional winter wear retailer[6] and graced many editorial spreads for Springfield, Dolce & Gabbana, Lanvin, Givenchy, Denizen, Levis, Celio, DKNY JEANS, Armani Exchange and Zara.

In 2016, Benjamin was signed on by Mediacorp's production team for 3 TV series, one of which was "The Gentlemen" co-starring Aloysious Pang and Carrie Wong. He later dropped out of the contract in the midst of filming citing personal reasons.
Publication edit
Benjamin contributed an article to the Singapore Law Review 2020 where he suggested that the Attorney-General of Singapore should consider publishing prosecutorial guidelines calling for transparency and accountability. Its patron, former Chief Justice of Singapore Chan Sek Keong commented that the article raised interesting constitutional questions on whether Parliament of Singapore had the power to enact legislation to limit the powers of the Attorney-General.[9]
TheSkinBrand edit
In 2020, Benjamin founded TheSkinBrand, a Singapore-based beauty company specializing in skin care products.[10] He was inspired to launch his own skincare line due to his skincare struggles whilst studying in England where the weather was often cold and dry.[11]
