Everything you need to know before your first Vemble.
Yes. Creating an account and joining events is completely free.
Because of what happens the moment you know it. In Korea, learning someone's age decides how you speak to them — who uses 존댓말, who gets called 형 or 언니, who defers to whom. That settles a friendship into a hierarchy before it has even started. So we don't show ages at all, and at a Vemble everyone speaks casually with each other, as friends, from the first hello. Behind the scenes we do quietly put you with people close to your own age, so speaking that way feels natural for everyone — you just never see the number, and neither does anyone else.
No. Vemble is built for both foreigners and Koreans, and most events run comfortably in English, Korean, or both.
Yes, and you'll be in good company. English is simply where a Korean member and a foreign member meet in the middle — it isn't a test, and nobody is grading you. Vembles are built around an activity, so there's always a dinner or a hike or a game carrying the conversation when the words run out. Showing up matters far more than grammar.
Every Vemble needs a minimum number of confirmed people before it's locked in — so you'll know ahead of time whether it's happening rather than showing up to an empty room.
Yes. Hosting starts with a one-minute video introduction of yourself, recorded in the app — a quick hello in English and in Korean, and what kind of Vemble you'd like to run. Our team reviews it and lets you know, and once you're approved you can host straight away. You don't need to have attended a Vemble first; the introduction is the only thing we ask for.
No. There's no swiping, no profile browsing, and no unsolicited messaging. It's about meeting people through real activities, not profiles.
Sign up on the website first to create and verify your account, then download Vemble for iPhone or Android to join events on the go.
Hosts pass a government-ID check before they can host, and any member can verify their ID for a badge on their profile. Every Vemble also needs a minimum number of confirmed people — so you're never showing up to an empty room with a total stranger. You can report or block anyone directly from the app.
That's the ticket — nobody does at first. Every Vemble is built around a shared activity, so conversation happens naturally around the dinner, hike, or game instead of forced small talk.
Yes — most members join solo. Vemble is built for meeting new people, not just for going out with friends you already have.
A lot of our members are introverts. It turns out it's a lot easier to connect over a shared activity than over cold small talk — come as you are, there's no pressure to perform.
Just leave the Vemble from the app as soon as you know — that keeps the headcount accurate for everyone else counting on it happening.
Yes. Every Vemble has a group chat for the people who joined, so you can keep making plans together long after the event itself.
