A little clarity before you go.

A place to discover external communities and programs in Korea, and to create small member-hosted meetups. External organizers are separate from Friends Circle. This is a curated directory, not a live connection to every platform’s schedule or availability.

No. Search, read external listings, visit organizer pages and save finds in this browser without signing up. You need an account and adult/safety consent to create a Friends Circle plan or join its participant chat. External services may require their own accounts.

A community is an ongoing group. A program is an organizer-run activity. An event is an individual gathering, with a date when one has been confirmed. A platform guide helps you search another service; it is not itself an event available to attend now.

Not necessarily. It means the public information was reviewed, not that a place is available or that safety, replies or admission are guaranteed. Confirm the next session and availability with the organizer. Older information is marked as needing another check.

No. Saving is not a booking or RSVP. Your list lives only in this browser, does not sync to an account or other device, and may be lost if browser data is cleared. Join external activities through their organizer; RSVP to member plans on the plan detail page.

The external organizer or their booking platform. Check their price, eligibility, preparation and cancellation or refund terms before applying. Friends Circle does not process external bookings, payments or refunds. Even activities with no participation fee may have separate food or travel costs.

Use the language filter and read the listing, then check with the organizer. An English information page does not guarantee an English-speaking session. Multilingual does not automatically mean English, and unconfirmed language availability is marked unknown.

Creating and joining member plans are free and do not use matched-circle pass credits. Food, drinks, admission and travel can cost extra. Set a real date, public place, group size and languages, and check venue availability. Publishing does not automatically secure participants or a venue reservation.

Its title, time, area, public meeting place, description, participant count and chosen languages are publicly visible. Participant names or nicknames and chat are shared with that plan’s participants. Private email addresses and application contacts are not public. Don’t put home addresses or other people’s private information in the public description.

Member plans let you continue the conversation and create a new plan for another date. You can also choose a lasting open circle. Circle membership, each plan’s RSVP and external bookings are separate choices. Previous participants are never automatically enrolled in the next plan.

Existing matched circles, conversations, payment records and remaining credits stay in your dashboard. Curated matching remains a separate route and may involve waiting for suitable applicants. External activities and member plans are not included in paid passes, and do not deduct those credits.

Friends Circle open circles and member plans are for adults aged 18+. Family Circles use a separate family-only process with guardian presence and child-privacy agreements. External family programs have their own age and guardian requirements. Do not post children’s names, photos, schools or contact details in public listings or chat.

Use private reporting in a member plan or circle, or email us below. For external schedule or booking issues, also contact the organizer. Our team is not a real-time emergency service. In immediate danger call police 112; for fire or ambulance call 119.
