My trip to South Korea was definitely something to be remembered. I loved walking down some streets in various neighborhoods and seeing the lovely setups of Korean photo booths. 

From their store design, their lighting, the endless templates you can choose from, and not to forget, the props and costumes for you to use when taking a photo! 

Whether you are with your friends, family, or partner, it is one of the must-do activities while you’re in town. Not only is it trendy and fun, but it is also a part of the lifestyle and a way to capture the sweet memories of your Seoul trip!

1. Life Four Cuts | 인생네컷

Official Instagram: @life4cuts_official

Life Four Cuts is known as one of Korea’s first and largest self-studios, with a mind-blowing presence nationwide and globally.

The concept of this photo studio in Seoul has a unique meaning to it. It conveys the value of capturing the best photo of a special day in your life in just four cuts. Sweet, isn’t it?

Four cuts simply mean the four photo frames. Of course, you will have tons of possibilities for choosing other frames and cute frame designs amongst the selection. 

Each store has different features, so make sure to test out a few stores while you’re in town. 

The best part of this machine is that you can take a picture with a Korean celebrity! Sometimes, Life4Cuts has a fantastic collaboration lineup with famous K-pop artists such as Seventeen. 

Strike a pose with your favorite K-Idol and keep the memories with you forever.

With the fast expansion of this photo studio around the world, you can simply enjoy Korean youth culture without needing to travel all the way to South Korea! Don’t forget to download their app to check out their latest events and news.

2. DON’T LXXK UP | 돈룩업

Official Instagram: @dontlookup.official

Don’t LXXK Up is not your average Korean self photo studio. It is legendary for its unique camera positioning and the retro Gen Z vibes – wide angle with 0.5 selfie angle from the top!

Instead of the standard camera located just right above the screen right in front of you, this one is located at the top corner of the booth, giving a unique way of capturing allure and giving a whole new in-depth look to the snapshots. It’s amazing!

You have two types of rooms, either in red or blue. It depends on which background suits your outfit on that day. 

When you enter, the first room allows you to store your belongings and select your templates, and the other one is the place where you slay and pose for the best shot. 

With increasing numbers of branches across Seoul, I suggest you check out their latest locations on their official Instagram. It’s definitely one of the best Korean photo booths.

On a side note, there is one self-photo studio in Singapore that is inspired by this viral Don’t Lxxk Up booth. If you’re in town, you should definitely go check it out. 

3. Photo Signature | 포토시그니처

If there’s one word for this Hongdae photo booth, it’s cute – Photo Signature.

Each month, you’ll have different frame designs launched, and it’s too cute not to miss!

From Barbie, Doraemon, Baduck Kim and Shin Chan (which have been my favorites since my childhood days!), you get to experience it all.

I believe that every month or during a specific period, they’ll have different collabs. So you’ll be able to hop on the trend with your friends, regardless of their age. 

Or, if you have a boyfriend or a girlfriend, this is the place to go to strike the cutest signature couple pose ever! I didn’t manage to drop by this place, but I will definitely come back and drag my husband here next time.

One feature I look forward to trying and exploring is the black and white original pictures and also the digital version of QR sending of GIFs.

Another two types of Photoism are the Photoism Box and Photoism Colored. Photoism Box is the standard Korean self-photo studio where you can quickly go and snap a moment of your daily life.

Want to add some colors to your life? Well, Photoism Colored has the benefit of choosing your preferred frame color from red, navy, purple, and khaki. 

Sprinkle some magic onto your photos and make it come alive.

Plus, at Photoism, you can make a reservation in advance, giving you the flexibility to plan your day without missing your spot at the photo booth!

5. Haru Film | 하루필름

Official Instagram: @haru.film_

Haru Film first got my attention for its soothing blue Pantone color. I love the feeling at ease with the soft color design, and the whole ambiance just puts a smile on your face! 

It’s calming and relaxing, giving a peaceful vibe. Therefore, it is not surprising that Haru Film is one of the most popular photo studios in Seoul. 

It was actually tailored for Generation MZ despite its popularity among local youths.
