Though other Korean stars have had their faces on limited editions of Chinese stamps, Park is the first Korean to be on Chinese stamps that are released as both regular issue and limited edition.
The limited edition sets are priced at 698 yuan ($108) and regular stamps cost 0.8 yuan each. China Post will take reservations for the limited editions sets in May, and the regular stamps along with prepaid phone cards that also feature Park will be issued in August.
