Long explanation:
~장 [jang] is a Korean counter, a type of noun used in combination with numerals to denote the count of objects, and its usage is generally limited to objects with flat surfaces. It's particularly common to use it when talking about counting paper-based items, such as tickets, cards, notes, letters and photographs. In English, it's similar to using 'piece' or 'sheet' as a counting unit for such items.
