What the work is

You meet a guest, share a meal, talk, and walk together. Sometimes you guide or interpret. There is no meeting behind a closed door, no overnight stay, and no physical contact — if you are asked for any of it, you may end the meeting there.

You do not need fluent Korean. Guests search by the language they want to speak, so another language is an advantage rather than a gap.

What the meetings look like

Dining date

Share a meal and talk. Partner restaurants come with a discount.

Girlfriend for a day

Spend the day together as if you were dating. You agree the plan in the chat beforehand.

A day out

Exhibitions, markets, a walk around the neighbourhood.

This suits you if

You want hourly income but not nightlife work
You can be out during the day or early evening
You enjoy talking with people here
Your Korean is limited but you speak English, Japanese or Chinese

No experience needed. Students and people with other jobs are welcome.

How the money works

You set your own hourly rate. We do not set it for you.
A platform fee of 20% comes off what the guest pays. It can differ by service type.
Withholding tax of 3.3% comes off the remainder.
Once the meeting ends and the 72-hour claim window passes, it becomes payable, and we transfer weekly to the account you registered.

If you set ₩60,000 an hour and met for 3 hours

What the guest pays ₩180,000

Platform fee 20% − ₩36,000

Withholding 3.3% − ₩4,752

What you receive ₩139,248

These figures are an example. Yours depend on the rate you set.

Over a month

Once a week, 3 hours ₩556,992

Three times a week, 3 hours ₩1,670,976

What you would receive at a rate of ₩60,000 an hour. Yours depends on the rate you set and how often you meet.

Deposit

You put down ₩30,000 before you can take bookings. It covers refunds to guests if you break an arrangement, and whatever is left comes back to you when you stop.

How the work runs

There is no office to report to. Go straight to the meeting place and straight home after.
There are no set hours. Bookings only arrive for hours you have opened.
Answer a booking request within 12 hours. No answer means it is declined automatically.
Cancelling after confirming costs 30%.

What protects you

The following are forbidden to guests. If you are asked for any of them you may end the meeting on the spot, and ending it costs you nothing.

Asking for or attempting physical contact
Sexual remarks or gestures, or proposing a sexual meeting
Meeting behind a closed door — a home, lodging, motel or private office
Any meeting premised on staying the night
Pressuring someone to drink, or getting them drunk and then suggesting going elsewhere
Photographing, filming or recording without consent

If any of these happens, you may end the meeting on the spot. Ending it costs you nothing.

During a meeting the booking screen has a Get help button. It reaches an administrator immediately, and the guest is not notified.
Add a guest you would rather not meet again to People to avoid, and you disappear from each other's listings. You can also block someone you know by phone number in advance.
Conversations stay on the site as a record. If there is a dispute, we read it.
Meetings happen in open places with other people around. You can pick from our mate restaurants.

Common questions

Do I need to speak Korean?

No. Guests search by language, so English, Japanese or Chinese is an advantage.

How often do I have to work?

There is no minimum. If you open no hours, no bookings arrive.

Will my face be public?

Your profile photo is public. Your legal name is not — guests see the display name you register.

What if I want to stop?

Set your profile to private and no new bookings arrive. Finish the ones you have, then take your deposit back.

What if a guest breaks the rules?

You may end the meeting there. Press Get help and an administrator picks it up immediately. If you report it afterwards, the payout is held while we look into it.

Still deciding

Read the rules first. What you will never be asked to do is written down there. Read what we ask of you
