‘Life 4 Cuts' Korean photo booth trend hits Hong Kong – 4 popular ones to try
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 Korea's 'Life 4 Cuts' (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.

Hong Kong's Eric Tsang, Kenny Bee deny links with Malaysia's Namewee after group photo
Hong Kong actors Eric Tsang Chi-wai and Kenny Bee have distanced themselves from an outspoken Malaysian singer-songwriter after facing backlash for taking a photo with the rapper known for his critical stance on mainland Chinese authorities. Veteran actor and comedian Tsang, 72, apologised on Monday on Chinese social media platform Weibo, two days after Malaysian singer Wee Meng Chee, more popularly known as Namewee, posted his photo with the two Hong Kong celebrities. 'As a Chinese, I am always committed to upholding national dignity and patriotic sentiment,' his post read. 'The photo was simply a courteous interaction in a public setting. I was unaware of the individual's background or past actions. If I had known the situation beforehand, I would never have made any contact. 'This incident was purely an unintentional mistake and in no way represents my support or endorsement of that individual's views.' Tsang added that he felt remorseful about the public misunderstanding arising from the incident.
