❌ We strictly enforce our policies: No hook-ups and no religious attempt. Adherence to these guidelines is mandatory
🚀 Mission: Are We a Cult?
▪️ No. Then why "Fake Buddies," you might ask? The name may sound odd, but it reflects a reality - at first, we're all just strangers.
▪️ Life or travel in Korea can be challenging. Many come here hoping to bond with locals, yet cultural barriers and language differences often stand in the way. Koreans typically form close-knit groups based on school or work connections, which can feel impenetrable to outsiders. Furthermore, Seoul offers few spaces dedicated to making friendships.
▪️ Koreans also find the idea of interacting with foreigners appealing, but it can be a bit scary. We want to understand different cultures and widen our views, but worries about language can make it tough. As a newer generation, we want to break away from traditional viewpoints and engage with the world more openly. This is where "Fake Buddies" comes in.
▪️ Co-founders KB and Edgar have a mission: to create a community where both locals and internationals can mingle, break down walls, and form connections. We envision a space where 'fake' buddies become 'real' friends. In this community, we embrace difference, encourage language exchange, and celebrate shared experiences.
▪️ I know it sounds a bit cheesy, but our primary objective is simply to hang out and have real fun together.
▪️ We're Fake Buddies, on a journey to becoming real friends.

주의: 한국인의 경우 외국인과 달리 첫 회 참여 무료 및 3회권 할인을 제공하지 않고 있습니다. 영어 사용 환경이 많은 점, 외국인과 한국인의 경제적 상황 등을 고려하여 결정하게 됐습니다. 양해 부탁드립니다.2 attendees
