Concept Behind Photomatic

Beginning in 2018, Photomatic was founded by photographer Hong Seung-Hyun, who envisioned a platform where individuals could take their own portraits rather than turning to external photographers. This initiative has gained immense popularity among celebrities in Korea, including members of BTS, thanks to its unique ambiance and high-quality equipment.

With the recent collaboration with Kitamura Holdings Group, Photomatic is now ready for its Japanese debut, bringing a fresh photography experience to fans of Korean culture throughout Japan. Online platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter will also keep audiences engaged with the latest updates and features from Photomatic.

Additional Services

Photomatic isn’t just for individual users; they also offer photo booth rental services for corporate clients. Their high-quality photography technology can enhance branding and promotion at various events, including product launches, entertainment, and commercial promotions.
