About this app

OnlyFriends is not a dating app – it’s a meetup & friend-making app designed for people who want to start as “friends” first, in a relaxed and low-pressure way.
Foreigners who love Korea, Koreans, exchange students, working holiday makers, and travelers can all meet up, chat, eat together, grab a drink, and naturally become friends.

On OnlyFriends, people like this come together:
• Foreigners who love Korean culture and want to make Korean friends
• Koreans who are interested in Japan and other countries
• People traveling or on a working holiday alone who want someone to hang out with
• Friends who are traveling together and want to match with another group to go out with
• People who want to go beyond tourist spots and create unforgettable memories at local restaurants and places recommended by real local friends
• People who feel dating apps and blind dates are too much and want to start with easy, casual friendships
• People who want friends who love Korean food, K-POP, and Korean culture
• People who are tired of paying to chat only for the other person to disappear like a ghost

[Main Features]

Friends based on location & interests
You can find friends by choosing major cities and interest categories across Korea, Japan, the United States, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and more.
Enjoy real Korean food at local restaurants, chat at cafés, grab a drink, do language exchange, play games, go for walks, go shopping, and join or host meetups with a wide range of themes.

“Become Friends” requests
You can send a “Become friends at this time” style request to join a meetup that looks interesting.
Check the meetup description, theme, number of people, time, and overall vibe of the place, then apply to meet people who share similar interests.
Participation style (paid/free, use of coins, etc.) is managed according to the guidance shown in the app.

n:n group matching & balanced meetups
Instead of high-pressure 1:1 meetings, OnlyFriends focuses on n:n group meetups where several people can hang out together.
Hosts can adjust the number of participants, gender balance, and atmosphere to create a more comfortable and stable meetup.

Profiles & light introductions
You can write your nickname, nationality, city, languages, a short self-introduction, and your interests to find friends who are a good match for you.
By adding a profile photo, you can get a feel for what kind of person someone is before you meet.

Built-in safety features
Because OnlyFriends is a service where people actually meet offline, we take safety seriously.
• You can report or block users who behave inappropriately.
• If you complete face verification, you’ll receive a “Verified Face” badge to increase trust in your profile.
• Meetup descriptions and rules are used to clearly prohibit crossing the line, inappropriate behavior, and offensive language.

Tools for hosts
Anyone can become a meetup host for free and create their own friend meetups.
You can check the list of applicants, approve or decline requests, and write meetup rules to keep things safe and comfortable for everyone.

What OnlyFriends values
• Rather than dating and romance, we focus on “becoming friends first as equals, person to person”
• More than nationality, language, or looks, we value good manners and respecting each other’s interests
• Taking a small step of courage so you don’t have to be alone and can casually connect with new people

[Notes & Information]
• OnlyFriends is not a dating or adult service. It is a service focused on “friends and group meetups.”
• When you meet in person, always choose public places and put your own safety first.
• You can check the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and how to delete your account and data at any time in the in-app settings and via the provided links.
