Things To Keep In Mind
You must make a reservation at least 3 days in advance.
A refund is available if you cancel at least 3 days before the scheduled reservation.
The sizes and specifications of the photo vary depending on the type of photo (ID Photo, Passport Photo, Business Card Photo, etc.), so please inform the shop of which type of photo you'd like after considering all the options.
In terms of visa photos, the regulations are different for each country, so please check the sizing in advance and let the shop know what size you need on the day of your reservation.
For a natural-looking photo, it is best to keep a neat, clean hairstyle because it is much easier to remove/change the background of the image.
Photo files sent by email can only be downloaded for a limited period of time. Please note that after a certain period of time has passed, you cannot download the photos.

Our Visit
Woori Dongnae Photo Studio has about 20 stores nationwide. You'll be able to get hair & make up first and then get great photos here because the photographers are very experienced and have a certificate in personal color counseling. You'll even get to participate in the photo retouching process, so you can get results that you like!
There's a separate space where you can change your clothes and fix your makeup to get ready for your photoshoot. They also provide suit jackets and white blouses at no extra cost, so if you don't have proper clothes to wear for your ID photo, you can borrow the clothes available at the studio! You can put on the gown and you're all set to receive hair and makeup!
Inside the photo studio, there is a makeup room where you'll spend about an hour with a hair and makeup artist for your hair and makeup session.
Personal color is a trend that started in Korea a few years ago, involving finding the colors that suit an individual's skin tone. Knowing your personal color helps you style yourself in a way that suits you better. The personal color ID photo package here focuses more on finding pretty colors that complement your photo rather than a professional color diagnosis!
There is no need to wear makeup when you come to the studio, as they start with the basics such as eyebrow grooming and then do each step, including skincare, lotion, and sunscreen.
The makeup artist pays close attention to skin makeup and applies foundation in shades that matches your skin tone. For a more defined look, she used a brighter tone in the center of my face, and a darker shade around the edges for a slender appearance. The meticulous makeup makes the photos turn out beautifully!
After finishing skin and eye makeup, she applied false eyelashes. False eyelashes can enhance the clarity of your eyes in photos. We attached lashes to make my eyes look more defined, and it turned out very natural!
After drawing the eyebrows and making final adjustments to the skin makeup, the makeup is complete. The entire makeup process took about 35 to 40 minutes.
Now it's time for hairstyling. First, the makeup artist will ask about the hairstyle you prefer. Since I look good with bold curls, I requested thick curls. They not only added curls but also created impressive volume which makes me very satisfied with the result!
To ensure that the hair volume and curls stay intact during the photoshoot, she fixed them with some hairspray. With that, the hair and makeup are all complete. It's time to move to the studio for the photo shoot!
First, they took a few test shots at the beginning to see if it would look better to have my hair forward on both sides or with one side back.
Whenever a photo is taken, the picture shows up on the monitor right in front of you, so you can check the photos as they're being taken. It was nice to be able to see the photos right away, so I could try out different expressions and postures. After taking about 10-20 photos, the photoshoot was over. It's now time to choose a photo and do some retouching!
The photographer will proceed in a detailed 1:1 retouching process, where you will be able to participate and monitor the retouching so that you can retouch the photo in the way that you want! After the retouching is finished, you can choose a color palette of spring, summer, winter, or fall after testing all the colors out for your Personal Color Photo. You'll get 9 photos with the seasonal color palette of your choice, 1 large photo with your favorite color out of the 9, and 1 ID photo.
It takes about 10 minutes to print the photos once the retouching process is done. It was convenient because it didn't take very long to print the photos at all! I was really satisfied with the photo results!
If you opt for the ID Photo option instead of the Personal Color Photo option, you will get 6 ID photos as pictured above. The medium-sized picture in the middle was provided free-of-charge!
The photo studio will also send you the photo files of the seasonal color palettes that you don't choose. It was nice to receive the photos digitally so that I could print them personally if I want to! I was able to get the perfect ID photo at Woori Dongnae Photo Studio. I highly recommend it to those that want to experience Korean-style photo retouching. You'll definitely leave with satisfying results!
