The commemorative stamp is a single type and features the lyrics of the Gwangbokjeol Song. In 1949, the government began producing the song to commemorate Gwangbokjeol, and in May 1950, the song was completed with lyrics by Jeong Inbo and music by Yun Yongha. This song fully expresses the joy, sorrow, and determination of liberation.

Korea Post Headquarters emphasized that liberation holds a significance beyond simply regaining a lost nation. It carries great symbolic meaning as an achievement gained through the collective efforts of all members to restore the original name, language, and land.

The commemorative stamps will be available for purchase starting August 14 at local main post offices or through the online post office.
