## What is Dongu?

Dongu, meaning neighborhood friend, is an application for seeking organic relationships by making events with people having the same interest.

◎ Making friends in your neighborhood

You can make new events with people having the similar interests, find someone for taking the dog for a stroll, or make a group of people for jogging. And don't forget that Dongu is an app for finding local friends to play with anywhere and at any time.

◎ Sharing information about your neighborhood

Since Dongu is a location-based service, there are plenty of ways for using this app. You can share information about hotspots for foodies, cafes, or marts in your neighborhood. By sharing your information, you can also get information from others. If you own a small store, Dongu will be a great help for promoting it. By using 'Create event' feature, you can create an event for promoting your store. For example, you can offer a free gift for those who visited via Dongu, which will lead to a re-visit. You can also post location-based pictures of lost pets. It would be a great help for pet owners who are looking for their missing ones.
