This time I visited Movie Photo Book Jeonpo Times, the unique date-spot photo studio in Jeonpo-dong that's been heating up SNS lately!

From the flip book — a moving photo book that blows away the staleness of your typical four-cut photo — to an emotional A3 color newspaper photo, I came back with the perfect set of memories~ So here we go, the review you can always trust! The Kong-chelin Guide starts now! Let's Kong~!

What is Jeonpo Times? A 24-hour unmanned photo studio in Busan

Today I'm introducing a spot that carries the alley vibe of Jeonpo-dong, Busanjin-gu, in its very bones — the unmanned photo studio 'Movie Photo Book Jeonpo Times'! The studio itself doesn't actually move, haha.

This place!! Is run unmanned, 24 hours!!! So you can drop by anytime, no pressure at all.

Inside there are also all kinds of cute little props you can use while taking photos!

Where Jeonpo Times is and when it's open

• 52 Seojeon-ro 68beon-gil, Busanjin-gu, Busan, South Korea, 1st floor — Movie Photo Book Jeonpo Times
• Open 24 hours, every single day!!
• Features: flip book, A3 newspaper photo, free receipt photo zone

Is the receipt photo zone at Jeonpo Times really free?

Inside Jeonpo Times there's a receipt photo machine you can use for free! Such a great perk.

The black-and-white receipt-style photo has so much mood and came out really pretty, so my mood was already great from the start! I liked it so much I stuck it right in the middle before leaving~!! There were lots of cute tapes too~!!

Flip book for 8,000 won: how the moving photo book is made

Time for the real photos, right?? Kong's Pick is to try both the flip book and the A3 color newspaper photo (1+1). The flip book is ₩8,000 per book.

First! You film an 8-second video moving energetically, 3 takes, plus 3 cover photo shots! (The more you move, the more lively the finished flip book turns out~!! Really give it your all, haha.)

After that!! Pick your favorite video and cover, print them out, then move to the DIY zone!

Finally!!! Put the cover on, staple it shut, and it's done! Flip through the pages and it's like watching a video — you're moving, it's genuinely fun and special!

There are so many decorating items in the DIY zone

So you can end up with a really personalized, one-of-a-kind flip book like this~~

A3 color newspaper photo, 1+1 for 7,000 won: which frames can you pick?

Next up, 100 points for mood — let's take the A3 color newspaper photo~!! (1+1 / ₩7,000) There are witty, playful frames ready to go, like 'Trillion-Won Tycoon Lands in Busan' and 'Top Star Descends on Busan'!

If you don't like it, you can retake up to 3 times, and it's shot against Jeonpo's trendy alley backdrop, making it perfect for an Instagram-worthy shot. The color is vivid and it's a 1+1 set, so it's ideal for splitting one each with a friend or partner!

Getting a high-quality newspaper print out of it made me so happy, honestly.

The shooting instructions were laid out clearly too, so it wasn't difficult at all

They even give you a dedicated plastic sleeve for the finished photo, making it an even better item to keep~!!

What if something goes wrong at an unmanned photo studio?

There was plenty of AS (after-service) guidance posted everywhere, so even if something went wrong it seemed like it wouldn't be an issue~!! The best!!

Verdict: is Jeonpo Times worth a Jeonpo-dong date course?

• A spot open 24 hours where you can casually drop by anytime to make a special, moving flip book!
• A mood-filled free receipt photo service plus a wallet-friendly 1+1 A3 newspaper photo!
• A must-do Jeonpo-dong date course that breaks away from the stale four-cut photo and leaves you a memory for life!

If you're in Jeonpo-dong, Busan, looking to make a different kind of memory or find a fun date course, I strongly recommend 'Movie Photo Book Jeonpo Times'!
