Faker Gets a Stamp: Oct. 23 Issue Day, Plus Pop-Ups in Jamsil and Seongsu

140,000 sheets on Oct. 23

The stamps show Faker's career and award moments. There are 140,000 sheets plus a stamp booklet.

On Oct. 10, Seoul Central Post Office's Stamp Museum held a ceremony handing him the real thing. He got his stamps two weeks before the rest of us.

A Faker special exhibition hall opened alongside the ceremony. It shows the commemorative stamp and a player uniform, and adds video screenings and a game zone.

Korea Post head Park In-hwan said the museum should become "a landmark that draws many domestic and foreign tourists as well as a space for stamp culture."

Jamsil first, then Seongsu

Riot Games' 'Music & Worlds 26' pop-up runs at Lotte World Mall in Jamsil from Oct. 23 to Nov. 1. Trendpod by Olive Young N in Seongsu follows from Oct. 29 to Nov. 8.

Expect music-video photo zones, music and esports quizzes, cheer messages for teams heading to Worlds, a lucky draw and a build-your-own Lolvatar station. Faker's stamp is on display too.

Riot says its League music catalogue tops 1,500 tracks and 16 billion streams.

Watch the video before you go

This year's Worlds anthem, 'Know My Name', is performed by virtual group True Damage. The official music video dropped on Oct. 9 and follows Faker's road to three straight Worlds titles.

At an Oct. 10 screening at CHZZK LoL Park, Faker said he was "deeply impressed because the journey from the early days of my career to our three-peat was captured in such detail."

Dates to keep straight

Stamp issue day and the Jamsil pop-up opening are both Oct. 23, so a post office stop followed by Lotte World Mall makes a neat one-day route.

Riot says opening hours and the merchandise lineup will be released in stages. Seongsu opens six days after Jamsil, so double-check which venue you're heading to.
