โ€˜Life 4 Cutsโ€™ Korean photo booth trend hits Hong Kong โ€“ 4 popular ones to try


Gone are the days when photo booths were only for taking passport photos.

In Asia, photo booths where users can customise their snaps with decorative stickers, filters and more have been popular since the 1990s, when purikura booths debuted in Japan.

More recently, South Koreaโ€™s โ€œLife 4 Cutsโ€ (L4C) have become popular, especially among members of Gen Z. This type of photo booth prints out four snapshots on a vertical or horizontal strip embellished with colourful borders and filters.

What is more, at some stores customers can pay to have their photos made into wearable accessories.
