Rapper PSY received an award for promoting Korea from the Corea Image Communication Institute on Tuesday.

The institute, a private organization that works to improve Korea's global image, annually gives awards to people who have helped improve Korea's image around the world.

Past winners include UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, maestro Chung Myung-whun and Chinese actress Tang Wei.

After the global megahit "Gangnam Style" in 2012 and follow-up singles such as "Gentleman" and "Hangover", PSY released his latest album "Daddy" which has garnered nearly 100 million clicks on YouTube since its release in early December last year.
