Launch of 'Banban', a Social Community App Specialized for Online Gatherings

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] Pyeongjeong Communication announced on the 25th that it has recently launched the social community app 'Banban' in line with the trend of rapidly increasing online gatherings.

'Banban' is an app that enables contactless blind dating. The MZ generation tends to be individualistic while actively utilizing social network services (SNS) and a sense of belonging to society. Due to the impact of COVID-19, face-to-face meetings have become difficult. The MZ generation is actively interacting through online gatherings.

The Banban app offers a service that allows casual friend meetings by reflecting the advantages of existing dating apps and the demand for non-face-to-face meetings. Using Banban app's multi-video chat, up to seven people can communicate together. Video and voice chat are available, with video providing functions similar to 'Zoom.' Voice chat can function like 'Clubhouse.'

Within the app, users can express their feelings by exchanging paid items called hearts, and hearts can be settled and converted into cash. Receiving hearts through non-face-to-face broadcasts or one-on-one chats can generate income similar to Afreeca.

Kang Dongwon, the director in charge, said, "Banban is an app suitable for the 20s and 30s generation, where online gatherings are actively taking place," and added, "You can comfortably meet friends even at home." He continued, "Banban officially launched its full version on Google Play Store and Apple App Store earlier this month," and added, "We are holding an event offering hearts worth 10,000 won as a launch promotion."

Pyeongjeong Communication, which developed Banban Date, is a company builder that commercializes new ideas.
