Four cuts of your life. An unmanned photo booth with frames to choose from, open all night, on every corner.
것The deal
Four cuts of your life: an unmanned photo booth with a screen of frames to choose from and a strip of four photos to keep. The brand of that name reworked the sticker-photo booths of the early 2000s and set off Korea's second photo-booth boom. By 2022 it had 343 franchise booths on the Fair Trade Commission's register, and by 2026 it had so many rivals that photo booths were a crowded unmanned business.
하는 법How to
Tap the screen for English, pick a frame, pay by card and pose when the countdown starts. Most booths give you a QR code for the digital file; download it before you walk out.
