Preorders for postage stamps celebrating President Lee Jae Myung's 100th day in office sold out on the first day of sales, Korea Post said on Wednesday.
20,000 copies of 100th-day postage stamps were available for reservation on Monday through Korea Post's online website. All copies had been preordered as of 2 p.m. on Monday, according to the postal service.
The stamps, typically celebrating a new president's 100th day in office, were issued this month with the aim of highlighting Lee's diligence and steadfast will to protect the public's power, according to Korea Post.
The stamps also shed light on the friendly side of Lee. Some of the posts include Lee eating food with his mouth wide open and Lee running away from Democratic Party Rep. Park Chan-dae on a bicycle, as well as Lee walking alongside his wife, Kim Hea Kyung.
