[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Kim Jun-young, former executive director of Freechal, the largest community portal site in Korea, has officially launched a new concept global community gathering platform targeting the 20-50 age group.

Thunderplex, an activity platform startup, announced on the 14th that it has officially launched 'Thundering,' a global community gathering platform for people with similar hobbies and interests. Thundering was officially released after a beta version opened in April, followed by two months of closed beta and open beta services.

The 'Thundering' community platform service provides features that organically combine major categories such as Lightning, Hot Deal, and Group to quickly and easily create gatherings and meetings.

Lightning offers real-time, location-based service features, allowing anyone to intuitively create and join gatherings quickly and easily. Through various themed gatherings and rapid meeting creation, user accessibility is made as simple and effortless as possible.

Hot Deal is a real-time location-based service designed to support over 3.7 million small business owners and self-employed individuals in Korea who have struggled during the COVID-19 era. Groups allow users to join groups with similar interests or hobbies such as golf, reading, wine, running, cycling, biking, hiking, movies, music, concerts, clubs, bars, sports, dance, fishing, gourmet food, pet dogs, pet cats, and language learning within the Thundering app. Within these groups, members can post for socializing and communication.

Additionally, 1:1 chat, group chat, 1:1 video calls, and group video calls are available. Considering global business expansion, users from around the world can participate in 1:1 and group chats in their native languages, with real-time multilingual translation chat functionality provided.

Kim Jun-young, CEO of Thunderplex, said, "After securing investment from New Paradigm Investment, we have conducted continuous idea planning meetings and development for about a year and a half, leading to the official launch of Thundering, a community gathering platform with a new business model." He added, "It will be the most popular and advanced community platform ever, usable not only by the 20-50 age group but also students, office workers, housewives, foreigners, celebrities, and influencers."
