Most four-cut photo booths come fully equipped with massive mirrors, hairbrushes, hair dryers, and even curling irons. With these tools, users can touch up their hair or makeup before snapping the pics. Since the photos are taken in quick succession, there is not as much time as you’d think to strike the right pose. If you miss your timing, you might end up with some hilariously awkward expressions. If you’re picking a celebrity-themed frame, it’s important to plan your poses in advance so you get the perfect shot.

After the shoot, you can scan the accompanying QR code to download digital files of both the original pics and a short video of your photo session. But this link has an expiration date, so make sure to save your files before they’re deleted. Keeping a copy of the printed strip is sweet, but you don’t want to miss the high-res digital files, either.

Want to capture a memory with someone you love? What if that someone you love is a celebrity? In reality, that would definitely be a no go. But what if it’s in a four-cut photo booth? When an artist makes a comeback or an actor is starring in a new drama or a star is celebrating an upcoming birthday, their management labels often collaborate with photo booth brands to release limited-edition frames.

This isn’t just limited to bona fide celebrities. Online influencers and popular characters are often featured in frames as well. From famous Korean influencers to beloved animation, webtoon, and emoji characters, there are new events announced practically every month. These limited edition photo strips pull double duty as both celebrity merch and cherished souvenirs for the fans.

One thing to note is that these collabo frames are typically only found in specific locations and for a limited time. For this reason, you’ll want to get there fast when one of your favorite celebrities or characters releases a special frame. Fans have been known to change their plans to meet somewhere close to the places that carry these frames, so much so that these spots are referred to as “frame-se-gwon,” or “nearby frame zone.”

Which celeb or character would you want to take a four-cut photo with?

Moreover, four-cut photo brands are constantly coming up with interesting concept designs. Think elevators, the subway, and airplane lavatories. Part of the fun is to take pics in all these unique booths to complete your own collection. With better lighting than a selfie and an amazing backdrop to match, nothing could be better!

If you want to try out a bunch of different booths and frames in a single day, it’s best to head over to Gangnam, Seongsu, or Hongdae that are crowded with these booths. Gangnam, in particular, is full of not just four-cut booths but places to shop, eat, and have fun, so make sure to include this district in your travel itinerary.
