A Historic Philatelic Milestone for K-pop
Global superstars Blackpink are set to become the first female K-pop artists to be featured on official commemorative postage stamps. According to an announcement from YG Entertainment on Thursday, the group is collaborating with Korea Post, the nation’s official postal service, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their 2016 debut. This prestigious recognition places them among a select few figures of national significance, following in the footsteps of BTS, who became the first K-pop group to receive the honor in 2023.
Exclusive Designs and Global Availability
The limited-edition collection will feature 10 unique stamp designs inspired by the group’s record-breaking discography. Beyond standard postage, the anniversary bundle is designed as a high-end collector’s item, including high-quality portraits of members Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa, alongside exclusive photography from their world-class stage performances. YG Entertainment highlighted that the project aims to recreate the group’s decade-long musical journey in a physical format that serves as a permanent keepsake for their global fandom, known as BLINK.
How to Purchase: Pre-sale and International Shipping
For fans looking to secure a piece of K-pop history, the rollout begins with a special pre-sale window from June 12 to June 15. Following the pre-sale, general domestic sales will launch on June 16 at post offices across South Korea and via the official Korea Post website. Recognizing Blackpink’s massive international reach, the agency confirmed that fans living abroad can purchase the stamps through YG Select or the English-language portal of Korea Post. This milestone arrives during a busy 2026 for the group, who were recently nominated for multiple American Music Awards (AMAs) and continue to dominate the intersection of music and high fashion.
