A one-stop shop for expats in South Korea

Hey Chingu! is a platform designed to provide English-speaking foreign workers with an all-in-one platform that combines:

• A knowledge base of useful information for people planning on coming to South Korea or who have only been in the country a short while

• A community environment where they can connect with other English-speaking workers, as well as buy from and sell to one another

Hey Chingu! aims to meet these needs with:

• A community forum where questions can be asked and connections can be made around how to cope in a new environment

• Blog-style articles sharing curated articles on visa procedures, housing, healthcare, etc

• A marketplace environment where e-books, guides and other digital products can be sold (and possibly physical goods as well)

• An event calendar displaying upcoming events that are centred around or would largely appeal to expats

• A job board showing available positions expats would be eligible for

• Membership functionality which would allow for gated premium content and exclusive content available only to paying members

Monetisation for the platform will be key to ensuring its optimal long-term performance, and can be marketed to:

• Businesses willing to sponsor events that will draw expats to their products and/or services

• Membership on the platform giving access to exclusive content and other benefits such as discounts on marketplace goods

• Experienced, highly-knowledgeable individuals could offer high-value goods, services, guides, etc to the expat market

• Paid advertising could be offered to businesses via the event calendar and forum or for premium listings on the job board
