What makes photo booths such a hit in Korea?
Made by MiriCanvas
Photo booths are incredibly affordable. While prices might fluctuate slightly among various photo booth brands, the majority are priced at less than 4,000 won, approximately equal to $3.
Also they are ubiquitous. And many of them are strategically placed right in the heart of some of Seoul’s busiest thoroughfares. Since the onset of the photo booth craze, snapping adorable pictures in one of these booths has become a ritual when you’re out socializing and having a blast with friends.
Upon receiving the printed copies of your photos, you’ll often find QR codes on them, containing the original image files. This feature enables you to effortlessly save them to your phone and share them with friends. Nowadays, photo booths also capture the entire picture-taking process, providing a video along with the image file. All of these features make it exceptionally convenient to share content on social media, which, naturally, further fuels the popularity of Korean photo booths.
