The Korea Post will release commemorative stamps on October 23 to honor esports star Lee Sang-hyeok, also known as Faker. This marks a celebration of his impactful career and contributions to the Korean esports scene. The state-run postal service, operating under the Ministry of Science and ICT, announced plans to distribute 140,000 stamp sheets, along with stamp albums and other commemorative items.
The stamps feature key moments from Lee's journey, including images of him celebrating at award ceremonies. Since making his debut in 2013, Lee has achieved remarkable success, winning six League of Legends World Championships, ten League of Legends Champions Korea titles, and two Mid-Season Invitational titles. Additionally, he secured gold at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games and successfully defended the title he earned at the 2023 Hangzhou Games.
In 2024, Lee made history by becoming the first player inducted into the game's Hall of Legends. In January, he received the Cheongryong Medal, the nation's highest honor within the Order of Sport Merit. To coincide with the stamp release, Korea Post is hosting a special exhibition dedicated to Faker at its stamp museum located within Seoul Central Post.
