The Dating App for Korea and the Korean Diaspora
Last updated
South Korea sits at the centre of the Korean-speaking world, and of a diaspora spread from Los Angeles to Sydney. Krush is built for both sides of that — meeting someone in Seoul or Busan, and meeting Korean singles abroad who are looking back home.
The local dating scene
Dating in Korea runs on introductions and shared context — sogaeting through friends, meeting through university circles or company life. Apps sit alongside that rather than replacing it, and they matter most for people outside the usual circles — returnees, international students, expats, and anyone whose life spans two countries.
The local community
Roughly half the country's population lives in the Seoul Capital Area. Korea also hosts a large and growing population of international students and foreign residents, concentrated in Seoul, Incheon, and the larger provincial cities.
Communities
- Korean returnees and third-culture Koreans
- International student communities in Seoul
- Korean-American, Korean-Canadian, and Korean-Australian diaspora
- Long-term foreign residents and expat professionals
Frequently asked questions
Is Krush a good dating app in Korea?
Krush is built for people whose dating life crosses cultures — Korean returnees, international students, expats, and Koreans abroad looking back home. Profiles lead with languages, cultural background, and dating goals, so the things that usually take three dates to establish are clear from the start.
Can I meet Korean singles living overseas?
Yes. Cross-border matching is part of Krush rather than a paid extra, so you can set your preferences toward Korean singles in the US, Canada, Australia, or the UK as easily as toward someone in Seoul. That is the point of the app for a lot of diaspora users.
Do I need to speak Korean to use Krush in Korea?
No. Language preferences are part of every profile — the languages you speak and the ones you are learning — so you can match with people who share a language with you. Many users in Seoul and Busan are bilingual, and plenty are actively looking to practise.
Which Korean cities does Krush cover?
Seoul, Busan, and Incheon each have their own page covering local neighbourhoods, campuses, and community hubs. Krush works anywhere in Korea, and you can widen your distance preference to include the whole Seoul Capital Area or match across the country.
Is Krush free in South Korea?
Yes. Krush is free to download and start matching on iOS and Android. Krush Plus and one-time purchases are optional, for when you want more room to explore.
