About the solution
Yoon spent two years in South Korean Military. He struggled with feelings of detachment and loneliness, so we wanted to do something to improve mental health by alleviating loneliness.
Pop is an app that focuses on the users’ interests and availability to match students for hour-long periods to meet. He started out by testing the idea for this solution by creating a lunch-buddy style program that paired students who signed up via a Google form.
“I manually paired people up and then got their feedback. Some of them told me they loved it, so I created an application that facilitates real-time meetups based on interest, personality and passion matches”, the inventor explained.
Yoon doesn’t want Pop to become an app like Tinder. With the help of other students, he assembled a team who is working to ensure that the app is safe and works by matching students seeking friends without chatting via the app or seeing photos beforehand.
The mobile app will be launched in Fall 2019 exclusively for Yoon’s college students. The app will be freemium. The developer hopes it grows so that it can available to any student in the world.
“I want to help out UT students first and prove that it works,” Lee said. “Then I want to spread it to other universities and then companies. I hope this to be a new paradigm of socialization”, he observed.
