Walk down any busy street in Korea and you’ll spot self photo studios, often called “four-cut photos” (네컷 사진, nekeot sajin). There’s no photographer: step into the booth, follow the on-screen prompts, and a strip of four photos prints out in moments.
How to enjoy it
- Pile in with friends, a partner or family, put on the props and strike silly poses.
- Frames change with the seasons and special events, so people love collecting them.
- Many booths also let you download your photos to your phone along with the print.
A perfect souvenir
Take one on your first day and one on your last — a souvenir that weighs nothing in your luggage.
