Shin Kyung-sook was awarded the Royal Salute “Mark of Respect” today at the Grand Hyatt. A short translation of the news blurb follows the photo.

“Every year, Pernod Ricard Korea selects someone who has made a great achievement in the field of arts and culture and awards them the “Mark of Respect.” Shin is pictured above with Peter Prentice (VP of Chivas Bros Asia-Pacific) and Jean-Manuel Spriet (CEO of Pernod Ricard Korea). Shin plans to donate the 50,000,000 (5천만원) KRW award to UNICEF and the Purme Foundation.”

Class act! Sadly, I was unable to attend as I was stuck at home with the flu.

But it’s just as well. Everyone who knows me knows that good booze is wasted on me.
