Apparently, we Pinoys are still riding the Hallyu wave hard. The latest obsession? Korean AI profile pictures. Our timelines have recently been flooded with photos of our friends and local personalities transforming into K-pop idols and K-drama actors and honestly, we want in. If you want to see yourself made up in a clean and youthful aesthetic, you might want to check out how to create your own Korean AI profile picture.

Step 1: Download the Snow app

SNOW is a popular image and messaging multimedia app in South Korea that’s available in both Google Playstore and Apple Appstore. Lots of Koreans — from Gen Zs to K-pop idols — use it to beautify their selfies and play around with flattering filters. And now, SNOW’s popularity has reached international heights, thanks to its AI features that can turn ordinary folks like you and me into the K-pop idol versions of ourselves.

Step 2: Upload your images

On the app, at the bottom menu, swipe to the “Snow AI” tab and click the “AI Profile” button. Click on “Begin Now.” You can upload 10 to 20 photos for the AI to analyze and transform into an aesthetic Korean profile picture. Snow will give you 30 different themes to choose from, each one giving your AI profile different makeup, hairstyle, and clothes.

To get the best results, make sure your face is clear in the photos you will upload — group photos aren’t allowed. Snow also encourages its users to include photos of themselves in a variety of poses for the AI to be as accurate as possible. And if you need convincing to try it out, check out these influencers flexing their results:

Aside from an AI Profile Picture, SNOW also offers an AI Pet Studio that turns everyday photos into a studio background, an AI Pet feature that draws your pets, and an AI Retro Cartoon feature.

Step 3: Pay for the service

Yes, folks, this feature is, unfortunately, not free. You have to choose between a Standard (Php 330) or Express (Php 660) discounted subscriptions. The Standard package gets you your 3o photos in 24 hours while the Express package makes sure it’s ready in only an hour.

Is it worth paying for? Sure, if you’re willing to shell out a bit of cash for some fun (we all know you’ve spent more for video game purchases!). We’ll have to admit, these Korean AI profile pictures are stunning and look almost real. If anything, you could make it as a peg for your next studio photoshoot!
