South Korea officially appoints SRK as goodwill ambassador

Earlier it was reported that Shah Rukh Khan may become the goodwill ambassador of South Korea. It is now officially announced that SRK has accepted the role and might visit South Korea before January 2014 when the South Korean president will visit India for bilateral talks with the Indian government. The South Korean government pursued SRK for 2 months till he agreed to be goodwill ambassador for the nation.

According to a Times of India report, "So you know South Korea only as the land of Samsung and Hyundai? The King Khan could introduce you to Kukkiwon, the world famous taekwondo academy, Psy of Gangnam Style fame and K-pop, the mouthwatering Korean barbeque. To South Koreans, the actor could teach their first cricket team a thing or two about the business of the game - maybe organize the first match between Kolkata Knight Riders and the Koreans. And, perhaps, open Bollywood to a new part of the world."

Wishing SRK all the best for his new diplomatic role!
