A popular Korean photobooth studio with endless customizations is landing in Richmond.

The storefront for Life 4 Cuts' first Canadian flagship studio was recently spotted at Aberdeen Centre.

The Korean chain first landed in Metro Vancouver in 2019, offering a hassle-free photobooth experience in its signature pink machines with a wide selection of frames.

K-pop fans are also able to pose with their favourite performers through special frames created in collaboration with popular groups including Seventeen, Treasure and Zerobaseone.

The self-service studio currently has five locations in Metro Vancouver, having recently opened one in Burnaby’s Crystal Mall.

The “four-cut” photo trend, referring to the four shots in a photo strip, first gained popularity in South Korea.

Its low-stakes and DIY characteristics resonated with local youth amid the current Y2K nostalgia, spawning a photobooth craze that has now expanded to North America.

No opening date has been announced yet for Life 4 Cut’s Richmond location.
