About this app

A new environment. Everyone around you seems to be already friends.

- Classes and workplaces—groups have already formed before you even realize it.
- When you open social media, all you see are updates from people you already know.
- Dating apps are "based on romance," and that's not what I'm looking for.
- I wish I had someone nearby with similar hobbies, someone I could just chat with casually.

If even one of these applies to you, the new friendship SNS "BLANK" might be just right.

Instagram, X, BeReal, TikTok, Snapchat… You have multiple social media accounts, but there's no place to connect with "new people."

BLANK is a new friendship SNS where your personality shines through your posts, and you can send chat requests to people you're interested in to connect. Once approved, one-on-one DMs begin. How you become friends from there is up to you. It's not a matching service based on romance; it starts with friendship.

■ What you can do with BLANK

【Posting | Share the current you, as much as you like】
No limit on the number of posts. Post whenever and however much you like. Realism is better than just aesthetics. That one photo or one word can be the starting point for someone to talk to you.

[Search | Find someone you're interested in]
Find people to connect with right now through rankings, people currently online, and "footprints" of those who have viewed your profile. You might feel drawn to someone you don't know. That kind of connection is possible.

[Chat Request | Approval System for Peace of Mind]
Conversation won't start unless the other person approves. Therefore, you won't receive sudden DMs from strangers. You always decide whether or not to talk.

[DM | Once connected, the freedom]
Once approved, a one-on-one DM starts. Easily start conversations with new friends.

■ For example, it's used like this:
・Moved to Tokyo and knew no one → Connected with people from the same university and city
・Alone after a class change → Found someone to bond with over shared hobbies
・Only used to lurk on Instagram → Started posting and someone started talking to me
・Wanted to casually connect with people who share the same favorite idol/celebrity
・Also enjoys alone time. But sometimes you just want someone to talk to casually.

■ For high school and college students like this:
・Want to make new friends in the new semester and new life.
・Only use Instagram/X/BeReal/TikTok to browse. Want to connect with strangers.
・Dislike dating apps that are based on romance. Want to make friends.

■ What BLANK values:

This isn't an SNS where you compete to be "Instagrammable." It's not a place to compete for follower counts. Someone will be "interested" in your unpretentious posts. We value equal connections that are unrelated to the number of likes or followers.

■ A system that allows you to use it with peace of mind:
・Chat requests are approval-based. Conversation won't start unless the other person approves.
・Report and block function for inappropriate users.
・24-hour content monitoring.
・You can interact without disclosing personal information.


Your surroundings are already full of people you know. But the "new people" section is still BLANK.

New friends, new connections, find them on BLANK. Connect with someone new today.
