Step into the Frame: NCHIVE and Life4Cuts Unite for an Unforgettable Fan Experience
Korean boy group NCHIVE is embarking on their first-ever collaboration with the widely popular self-photo print brand, Life4Cuts. This exciting partnership brings fans a unique opportunity to capture special memories through limited-edition photo frames and participate in an exclusive SNS campaign to win signed memorabilia.

Operated by DONGRAMY PROJECT Co., Ltd., Life4Cuts, a South Korean sensation, has carved a unique niche in the self-photo print market. Often contrasting with Japan’s traditional ‘Purikura’ by offering a more natural, less ‘perfected’ aesthetic, its raw charm has resonated deeply with the MZ generation. This has transformed photo booths into dynamic canvases for ‘oshi-katsu’ – fan activities dedicated to supporting their favorite idols, making it a perfect match for NCHIVE’s vibrant appeal.
