- BTS Makes History with Commemorative Stamps Celebrating 10th Anniversary 목차
South Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT and Korea Post announced on May 7th that they will release a set of commemorative stamps to celebrate the 10th anniversary of global K-pop sensation, BTS. The collection will be issued on June 13th, with a total of 1.5 million stamps across 10 designs, making this the first time a living person other than a president has been honored with a commemorative stamp.
The regulations usually do not allow for the depiction of individuals in postal designs, except for a few exceptions like inaugurated presidents. In this case, the BTS commemorative stamps will feature album covers to comply with the rules, while the commemorative stamp packet (250,000 copies) will include both a stamp and a portrait of the group members.
