Renowned South Korean director Kwon Taek Im will be honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the upcoming 47th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, Union Information and Broadcasting Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu announced here on Tuesday.
Born in 1934, Taek Im has directed over 100 films including award-winning titles like "Chihwaseon", "Gilsoddeum", "Chunhyang" and "Seopyeonje".
