The South Korean embassy in Mumbai will on Thursday confer two special honours on Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan.
"The Korean government has decided to confer an honorary belt in taekwondo to Shah Rukh and they are also giving him the title of an honorary ambassador for culture and tourism," Shah Rukh's spokesperson told reporters on Wednesday.
The event will take place at the Taj Lands End hotel in Mumbai.
According to his spokesperson, the talks for the honour had been underway for "a couple of days".
This will be Shah Rukh's second international honour this year after he was presented an honorary doctorate in arts and culture by Bedfordshire University in London for his contribution to culture in July.
For the doctorate, the 43-year-old was nominated by Routes to Roots, an NGO that works across the SAARC regions to bring South Asian people together. The award was in recognition of his exceptional achievement as a film actor and producer.
