Photo Create Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Yusuke Osako) of the Kitamura Holdings Group, which operates the self-photo brand "Photomatic," has decided to launch a collaboration with "JIYOUNGJI," a unit consisting of KARA's Jiyoung and Youngji.

**[Reappearing with a New Design] Nationwide Collaboration Decided Following Huge Response to December Event**
This collaboration was realized following the huge response to the "Merry JIYOUNGJI" Christmas event held at Hilton Osaka on Saturday, December 20, 2025. The photo booth experience at the "Merry JIYOUNGJI" event venue was a closed initiative, accessible only to visitors with premium tickets. However, after the event, we received numerous requests from fans nationwide, leading to this upgraded project where anyone can take photos at 17 locations across the country.
For this nationwide expansion, three new frames designed by "JIYOUNGJI" members will be released. Both those who participated in "Merry JIYOUNGJI" and those who could not attend the venue can enjoy taking photos in the world of "JIYOUNGJI." Please visit a nearby photo booth during the period.

**About Photomatic**
TAKE YOUR MEMORY: I want to capture today, just as I am.
In 2018, the self-photo service "Photomatic" began with a comment from Mr. Hong Sung-hyun, a photographer and representative: "How about taking a portrait yourself, instead of having a photographer take it?" Photomatic's sensibility is packed into professionally set lighting and spaces, allowing anyone to capture their best moments just by pressing a remote control connected to the camera. Its unique concept and high-quality shooting experience gained popularity among Korean celebrities and has been loved by many artists, including BTS, since its inception.
In 2024, it officially launched in Japan through a collaboration with Kitamura Holdings Group, delivering a new shooting experience to everyone in Japan.
