Detail
President Moon Jae-in was inaugurated on May 10,
2017, to serve in the 19th presidential term of the
Republic of Korea. It was the day when a new
chapter in the country s history of democracy
was opened by the people who have longed for
a properly functioning, new Republic of Korea.
On August 17, 2017, to celebrate the 100th day of
President Moon s inauguration, Korea Post will issue
a commemorative stamp to reflect the yearning for
a Nation of the People, a Just Republic of Korea”
Through his inauguration speech, President Moon
expressed strong will to abolish authoritarian
practices, to create a world without privilege and
foul play and a fair society where those who follow
common sense will benefit, and to take the lead in
starting an era of genuine unity and coexistence by
resolving conflicts between regions, social classes and
generations. In particular, President Moon declared
to stay close to the people by moving the office
from the Cheong Wa Dae to Gwanghwamun Gate
and become the president for everyone dedicated to
building a country worthy of being called a country.
The commemorative stamp captures the face of
President Moon with a warm and confident smile
redolent of his wish to remain warmhearted and
friendly to the people. The background of the
stamp is President Moon holding the Taegeukgi, the
national flag of Korea, with the people, symbolizing
President Moon Administration s keynote to end
authoritarian practices and achieve unity and
coexistence through communication with the people.
This special My Own Stamp captures President
Moon s images from his childhood years, earlier years
during former President Roh’s administration, as
a candidate for the 18th presidential election, his
participation in a candlelight rally and fasting for
the Sewol ferry incident, his inauguration as the
19th president of Korea, and up to the president
who is sympathetic and reaching out to the people.
