Stamps with Girls’ Generation as the models, “Girls’ Generation My Own Stamps” will go on sale at the beginning of August.
Korea Post revealed, “‘Girls’ Generation My Own Stamps’ is the first celebrity stamp contracted by Korea Post and was specially created with the global K-Pop fever’s leader that has been active all around the world, Girls’ Generation.”
The stamps will be presented as a celebratory set for Girls’ Generation’s fifth anniversary. Nine stamps will be produced, carrying members’ photos from their third official album, “The Boys”, along with their autographs, and five stamps with jacket photos from their “Gee” and “Oh!” albums will also be produced. The total of fourteen stamps are expected to garner much attention from fans.
The price of the stamps will be 20,000 won and will be available for purchase at the Seoul Central Post Office, as well as 50 other post offices in the country. The stamps will be available to view at the “Korea Philatelic Exhibition” at Coex in Samsung-dong from August 9th through the 13th.
Kim Taewan from Korea Post also stated, “The Girls’ Generation stamps will contribute greatly to the stamp culture and help the Hallyu movement grow.”

no better way to kick start a world tour than first having SNSD stamps all over the world!

i want this, i hope we have that in the philippines :]

This is a history making. Girls Generation is making history! even the ministers didn’t have their own post stamps. Congratulations SOSHI!
~ Proud to be a SONE ~
It sure is a very amazing honor for the girls and of course the girls are the leader of the K-Pop fever that’s going worldwide. Not only Girls’ Generation is taking Asia by storm, they are also taking the whole wide world by storm. I must say that their third official album titled “The Boys” signified the start of the girls’ worldwide domination and it is really easy to see that everyone around the world is now hooked on Soshi. I am a zillion percent confident that Girls’ Generation will make everyone across the United States dance and sing along next year and there is no one or nothing that can stop Soshi from taking America by storm. I am definitely counting on Girls’ Generation a trillion percent. And I stand by my own words
i’ll take 10 sets each!
I really want one, especially the Hyoyeon one, but i live in Mexico so i can’t get them. =(
i want i want….. how can i get some from new zealand?
Now I’m interested in stamp collecting. I would purchase and proudly save them.
Seriously though, since they had debuted in the US, having GG US stamps is the perfect route in promoting them through USPS. Over the years, the USPS had promoted other celebrities and even animated characters like The Simpsons and others. So, I think it’s feasible and I can imagine the potential new US Sones.
Wow, congratulation 소녀시대 언니들..
Wow, congratulation 소녀시대 언니 들..
AWESOME. SNSD is always No.1 in Korea. ^^
Wow so proud to be SONE!
Haha looks like i might take up stamp collecting soon
Now we just need some SONEs to dress up as huge stamps at their next concert, ha.
I wonder how many people would actually use these stamps instead of just collect them. I know I’d only collect them and never use them.
does this give everyone an idea of how much the
girls are intertwined in korean culture? can everyone
see just how capable the girls, and all that they come
with, are of embedding itself not only into all of asian
culture, but the world? why are they always the first
to do something? because they are unlike any group
to come before them, so please don’t limit them to
what a band to can, just wait and watch as they make
history.
AMEN!
ONLY SNSD!!! god i love these women, they are incredible. Much thanks goes to all the SONEs in the world who are supporting them wherever they go. Perfect timing too for their 5th anniversary as a group in the spot light. Congrats Soshi lovelies :)
