[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Future Stream Networks (hereinafter FSN), a comprehensive digital advertising group, announced on the 30th that its subsidiary FutureDime launched the Android version of the 1:1 mobile fortune-telling consultation platform "Chuljangdosa" using smartphones on the 29th.


Based on its business strength in digital expertise, FSN established FutureDime in December last year to pioneer a new O2O service market. The "Chuljangdosa" service is the first O2O platform service introduced by FutureDime after its incorporation. It was developed in cooperation with Emotion Global, a digital UI·UX specialized company within the FSN group. Consumers can search and select their preferred fortune-tellers in desired fields through the "Chuljangdosa" app and receive customized fortune-telling services via video and voice functions in real-time or reservation consultation formats. Additionally, general free fortune services such as daily fortune, New Year's fortune, lifetime saju reading, and traditional compatibility are also provided.


Currently, about 130 fortune-tellers specializing in fields such as ▲shinjeom (divination) ▲yeokhak (fortune-telling based on the Book of Changes) ▲tarot from eight provinces nationwide are registered on the "Chuljangdosa" service. The company explained that recently, even in the fortune-teller industry, interest in online services has increased in line with the untact era, surpassing offline services, resulting in a flood of applications to join Chuljangdosa.


Seo Jeonggyo, CEO of FutureDime, said, “Unlike existing apps that were provided based on text in the past, ‘Chuljangdosa’ differentiates itself by ▲focusing on high-quality video and voice consultations as the main service ▲a network and search function of fortune-tellers by field across eight provinces nationwide ▲price competitiveness cheaper than existing fortune-telling apps ▲and convenience that is not restricted by time and place 24 hours a day.” He added, “Since the beta service started on the 6th of last month, consumers have shown high satisfaction because they can conveniently use fortune-telling services at home, and fortune-tellers are satisfied because they can promote themselves nationwide without regional restrictions.”


FutureDime stated, “As ‘Chuljangdosa’ is the first launched O2O platform business, we will introduce content of fortune-tellers who can approach users in a friendly manner, unlike the generally perceived image, through operating the YouTube channel ‘ChuljangdosaTV.’ Based on the digital expertise possessed by the FSN group, we plan to actively carry out marketing and expand market share.”



A service launch commemorative promotion will also be held. These include ▲a free consultation lottery event ▲a ‘friend referral event’ that grants benefits when five recommended friends receive fortune-teller consultations, and ▲a monthly best review selected from "Chuljangdosa" app service usage reviews, each awarded with one free consultation ticket.
