Psy Postage Stamps Coming to Korea!

For those of you who collect Korean stamps, you probably don't want to miss a new series of stamps coming to South Korea on March 18th. This series features none other than the internationally-famous Korean rap sensation himself, Psy! This series honors Psy for his 2012 worldwide phenomenal dance hit "Gangnam Style" and is licensed through his agency, YG Entertainment. This marks the first time a stamp series issued has been issued honoring a YG performer.

The stamps are known, appropriately enough, as "Psy stamps" and feature Psy in his many iconic poses and dances. They can be found at post offices across Seoul, as well as at YG's own e-shop and through the Korean stamp and art retailer Postar.
