Our Story

roommes started in 2024 after witnessing countless foreigners struggle to find trustworthy roommates in Seoul. Traditional listing sites showed empty rooms — not the people who lived there.

So we flipped the model: build a community of compatible people first, then help them find a place together. Landlords can see confirmed groups and reach out — giving tenants the power they deserve.
