Enjoy Korea together. Gatchi ("같이" — Korean for "together") connects you with people who share your interests, so you can experience Korea with company. Build your Korea bucket list, find people who want to do the same things, chat, and turn those plans into real meetups. Planning a trip, visiting now, or living here — Gatchi helps you find the people who make each moment better. BUILD YOUR KOREA BUCKET LIST Pick what you actually want to do: chimaek by the Han River, a baseball game, sunrise on Bukhansan, a night at a pocha, hanbok at the palace, noraebang, Seongsu cafés, Namsan, Jeju, traditional markets, Han River cycling. Your list is how you find people — and how they find you. DISCOVER PEOPLE WHO MATCH Browse profiles in your city with filters that matter: distance, neighborhood, age, languages, nationality, interests, and the bucket list items you have in common. Narrow it to travelers or to people living in Korea. INVITE, DON'T JUST SWIPE Every invitation is attached to a specific activity. Instead of a blank "hi," you're asking someone to do something concrete. If you both invited each other, you match instantly and the chat opens. JOIN OR HOST GROUP ACTIVITIES Browse activities other members created — a hike, a food crawl, a language exchange, a night out — and join with one tap. Hosting is just as simple: create an activity, set the place and time, and a group chat opens automatically. CHAT AND MAKE A REAL PLAN Message one-to-one or in groups, in real time. When you're ready, propose a place and time right inside the chat. Once everyone confirms, it lands on your Plans tab, with reminders the day before, the morning of, and 30 minutes ahead. BUILD A REPUTATION After you meet, leave reputation tags — friendly, punctual, reliable, great conversation. Reputation shows on profiles, so the people you meet come with a track record. SAFETY AND CONTROL - Report or block anyone, at any time - Profiles with multiple reports are automatically hidden from Discover while our team reviews them - Location is used only to sort people by distance, and only while the app is open - Snooze Discover whenever you want to step back - Per-category notification settings - Delete your account at any time FOR TRAVELERS Line up plans before you land. Share your dates and destination, get matched with people whose schedules overlap yours, and arrive with a conversation already going. FOR PEOPLE LIVING IN KOREA Show newcomers the places you love, practice languages, and build a circle around what you actually enjoy doing — not just where you work or study. Korea is better shared. Make friends who share your interests, and enjoy it together. Questions or feedback: support@gatchi.co
