There will be various programs such as a musical, a display of world postboxes and a journey to the world with stamps, all of which will provide an opportunity for visitors to understand the history and culture of the world.

PHILAKOEA 2014 commemorative stamps feature “Arirang,” a lyrical folk song of Korea designated a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2012. As the representative folk song enjoyed by the Korean race, Arirang is a song in various forms which always consists of the refrain ‘Arirang, arariyo.’ For the first time, this PHILAKOREA 2014 commemorative stamp is printed on the traditional Korean paper, Hanji.

The unique texture of Hanji adds a flavor of Korea. Image Recognition Technology was applied to the PHILAKOREA 2014 commemorative stamps. When each stamp is viewed via a smart phone or tablet PC, a short film about Arirang can be appreciated. PHILAKOREA 2014 World Stamp Exhibition will be held in Hall A, COEX from August 7 to 12, 2014.
