What Vemble is
A café you wanted to try. A ride by the river. A free Saturday afternoon. Vemble gives Korean and international people a reason to spend time together.
Small groups and real plans, in the city you already live in.
Vemble is for friendship, not dating.
Everyday possibilities
Every plan starts with something you’d enjoy anyway. Who’s going is what you find out when you get there.

See what people are planningHow it works
Browse what’s coming up — coffee, rides, dinners, study sessions, weekend trips — and pick something you’d do anyway.
Tap join and your seat is held. A seat costs one Vemble ticket, which you earn by signing up, turning up, hosting and inviting friends. Some plans also carry a seat price, always shown before you join.
Every Vemble needs a minimum number of confirmed people before it locks in, so you know it’s really happening. Afterwards the group chat stays open, so one coffee can turn into the next plan.
Tickets can’t be bought, and they expire 12 months after you earn them. Cancel early enough and your ticket comes back — the app shows the cutoff before you join. A paid seat isn’t refunded if you leave, but is refunded in full if the host or Vemble cancels, or the plan doesn’t reach its minimum.
How tickets workKorean and international, equally
Build friendships with Korean people and other residents, and become part of everyday life here rather than a visitor to it. Nobody is anyone’s tour guide — everyone came for the same plan.
Make friends from different backgrounds without leaving your own city, through the cafés, rides and dinners you already like. If you want to use English, you’ll have real people to use it with. If you don’t, you’ll still have had a good afternoon.
Meeting one stranger puts everything on the two of you. A small group sharing an activity works differently: nobody has to carry the conversation, you can listen for a while, and you get more than one chance to click with someone.
Plans happen in real neighbourhoods — the streets you already walk down.
Vemble Originals
Most Vembles are hosted by approved members. Originals are organised by the Vemble team: day trips out of Seoul, themed nights, cultural experiences and weekends away, with the details handled.
Each Original shows who’s organising it, where and when it happens, what’s included and what isn’t, and any seat price — before you join.
Illustrative — the kind of thing Originals are, not a listing.

None of this makes new people less new. It takes away the reasons people talk themselves out of going.
Nobody can host without it, and any member can verify for a badge on their profile. It confirms who someone is — it can’t promise how they’ll behave.
Hosting starts with a short video introduction recorded in the app. We watch it before anyone can run a Vemble.
Each Vemble needs a minimum number of confirmed people, so you won’t be the only one who turns up.
If something feels off, you can report or block someone directly, before, during or after a plan.
Before you go, check the plan’s details: the meeting point, the time, and what’s included. For urgent safety concerns, contact local emergency services first.
Contact supportYes — most members join solo. Vemble is built for meeting new people, not just for going out with friends you already have.
No. Vemble is built for both foreigners and Koreans, and most events run comfortably in English, Korean, or both.
Creating an account is free. Joining a Vemble uses a ticket, which you earn rather than buy. Some Vembles — Vemble Originals and some member-hosted plans — also carry a seat price, which is always shown before you pay.
Leave the Vemble from the app as soon as you know, so the headcount stays accurate for everyone else. Cancel early enough and your ticket comes back; the app shows the cutoff. A paid seat isn’t refunded if you leave, but you get everything back if the host or Vemble cancels, or the plan doesn’t reach its minimum.
No. There's no swiping, no profile browsing, and no unsolicited messaging. It's about meeting people through real activities, not profiles.
Send us a message from the Contact page, or use Help & Support in the app if you’re a member. For urgent safety concerns, contact local emergency services first.
