Process
How you meet, in four steps
Instead of flipping through photos, you check the fit first.
- 1
Verify identity
Passport or national ID matched against a live selfie. Unverified profiles are never shown.
- 2
Assess values
Marriage timeline, where you'd settle, children, faith, and language — all covered.
- 3
Get matched
Only people whose answers overlap with yours, with a breakdown of why you fit.
- 4
Talk, translated
Real-time Korean · Russian translation so a language gap never ends the first conversation.
Trust
Built for people who mean it
In cross-border matching, trust matters more than speed.
Scam protection
Money-request phrasing is flagged automatically, and links pushing you off-platform are blocked.
Marriage intent
At sign-up we confirm your timeline and your understanding of the visa process.
Three languages
Interface, profiles, and conversations all work in Korean, English, and Russian.
Human review
Every photo and bio is checked by our team before it goes live.

Common questions
Is it really free to start?+
Signing up, the values assessment, and browsing recommendations are free. Sending the first message or seeing detailed criteria requires a paid plan.
What if I don't speak Russian at all?+
That's fine. Turn on auto-translate in a conversation and what you write in Korean or English arrives in Russian, with replies coming back in your language. As things get serious, we still suggest learning the basics.
How does verification work?+
Submit a passport or ID photo plus a live selfie, and our team compares them within 24 hours. Verified members get a badge on their profile.
Do you help with the marriage paperwork?+
We provide guides on visa types, required documents, and expected timelines. We don't act as legal counsel, but we can refer you to vetted specialists.
I'm worried about scams.+
Money requests, off-platform redirects, and repeatedly reported accounts are detected and blocked. The Safety center lists the most common schemes and what to do.
