An korean Photo Booth that makes memories. Do you like taking pictures? If you made a Korean friend in Korea, you would definitely want to make a memory with pictureswhen you go on a trip.There are Photo Booth that you can easily see near college or downtown. Today, I will introduce the most famous four cuts of life among instant photos.
Instant photo studios, which are common on the streets of Korea, have a long history,
Sticker photography machines from Japan became popular after they were imported into Korea in 1998. Since then, with the spread of smartphones, almost no one has taken sticker photos, but since the late 2010s, numerous instant photo shops have been created, starting with the four cuts of life.
It’s very easy to use, and when you enter the store, there’s a big mirror where you can tidy up your hair and clothes in a large place, so if you transform yourself beautifully here and go into a room covered by a tent, you’ll find a space with a photo machine.
If you put in a bill there, take several pictures, and choose a picture that you like, the picture will be printed within a minute. Isn’t it very simple?
There are various props in the store, so you can use them freely.
Choosing these props with a friend is also a fun time before taking instant photos.
Life Nekut is located not only near the university district or downtown area, but also near famous tourist attractions in Korea, and the props in these areas are often tailored to the characteristics of the area where the store is located, so it serves to capture visitors’ tastes to make memories.
The size of a life-size four-cut (A korean Photo Booth that makes memories.)
The 2×6 inch photo frame, which is the standard of the four-cut life, is a classic photo booth frame style that can be seen mainly in the West. There is a limited-time design frame that can only be pulled out for a certain period of time through collaboration, and even after the collaboration period, QR codes can be generated through the official app and printed as limited edition frames by taking pictures at the booth.
Not only the four cuts of life, but also various instant photo studio brands are emerging.
In particular, there are several self-studios located near large university districts, and there are various stores such as photism, photo signatures, Haru Film, and Cellpix, and each store has its own characteristics, so it’s fun to visit various places. The price range is usually between 4,000 won and 6,000 won per picture. There are four pictures in a picture.
Some instant photo studios can be taken by pressing a button with a remote control, others can set the lights, and others can take time-lapse photos. Nowadays, more and more functions are added, so you can apply various filters and correction effects.
Four cuts of “Life” spread abroad (A Photo Booth that makes memories.)
Taking advantage of the Korean Wave craze such as BTS and K-drama, premium self-studio “Life Four Cut” has entered overseas markets.
LK Ventures announced on the 20th that its self-studio brand “Life Four Cut” has entered the U.S., Canada, and Guatemala following the Philippines, Vietnam, New Zealand, and Japan.
According to LK Ventures, Life Four Cut introduced a product in collaboration with Japanese fashion company SPINNIS at 30 Spinz stores in Japan in April. Fukuoka, Nagoya, and Kobe have released a photo booth called “Story Edition.”
Life Net cut has newly installed photo booths at Plaza Mexico and Little Tokyo, the largest Hispanic Mexican shopping malls located in Los Angeles, and Source Mall, an orange county Korean shopping mall.
Disney, downtown where Disneyland is located, and Las Vegas hotels are also discussing the establishment of direct stores.
In Guatemala, South America, I.N. set up two life four-cut photo booths as a showcase and opened stores in industrial complexes and major main shopping malls in Guatemala. Photo booths and stores will also be opened in Antigua and other tourist attractions. It plans to enter Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia in the second half of this year.
Life Four Cut is a premium self-studio in the form of sticker cameras in the past, and since its debut in 2017, it is currently operating in 220 stores and 1,000 kiosks in Korea.
It is an interesting phenomenon that old-fashioned photography is gaining popularity with young friends these days, who are more familiar with smartphones and SNS than books and letters.
I think it means that even people living in a complex city have a warm heart that values nature and memories in their hearts.
Why don’t you take an instant photo with your loved ones or friends this weekend?
