Terms of Service — Annyeong

Last updated: 29 August 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Marverik LLC, 30 N Gould St Ste N, Sheridan, WY 82801-6317, United States (“Annyeong”, “we”, “us”). They govern your use of the Annyeong mobile app, the web app at app.annyeong.io, and related services (together, the “Service”).

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Community Guidelines. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. What Annyeong is

Annyeong is a social platform that helps members of the BTS ARMY community discover each other, connect, chat, and meet at events. Annyeong is not a dating service.

Annyeong is a community for BTS fans. Accounts must be used primarily to participate in the Annyeong community. Accounts created primarily for dating, sexual or romantic solicitation, promotion, recruitment, or other purposes unrelated to the community may be restricted or removed.

Annyeong is an independent, fan-made project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to HYBE Corporation, BIGHIT MUSIC, or BTS. All trademarks, artist names, music, and related rights belong to their respective owners.

2. Who can use Annyeong

You may use the Service only if:

you are at least 18 years old,
you have not previously been banned from the Service,
you can form a binding contract with us, and
using the Service is legal where you live.

Age requirement

Annyeong is available only to people aged 18 or older. When creating an account, you must provide your date of birth and confirm that you are 18 years of age or older. You must provide accurate information about your age; providing a false date of birth is a violation of these Terms. You may not create or use an Annyeong account if you are under 18.

Your date of birth may be used to determine your eligibility to use Annyeong and to calculate the age displayed on your profile.

Age verification

In some cases, Annyeong may require additional age verification where we have a specific, reasonable reason to verify whether an account meets our 18+ age requirement. We may require you to submit a government-issued photo identification document within a stated deadline.

The verification may include human review of the document, the photograph shown on it, your date of birth, whether the document appears to belong to you, and whether there are material inconsistencies that prevent Annyeong from reasonably relying on the document for age verification. We may also perform optional internal consistency checks on document information. These checks do not independently determine the verification outcome.

Annyeong may restrict or suspend your account if age verification:

is not completed within the stated deadline;
establishes that you are under 18;
cannot reasonably confirm that the submitted document can be relied upon for age verification; or
indicates that the submitted document does not belong to you.

Documents and information submitted for age verification are handled as described in our Privacy Policy. If you believe an age-verification decision was made in error, you may contact us at [email protected] to request a review.

3. Your account

You sign in with your email address via single-use sign-in links, or with Google Sign-In or Sign in with Apple where available. Keep your email account secure — anyone who controls your email can access your Annyeong account.
One account per person. Accounts are personal and may not be sold, transferred, or shared.
You must choose a username. Your real name is never required to be public.
You are responsible for activity that happens through your account.
You must provide accurate information and keep it up to date.

4. Community rules

Full rules live in the Community Guidelines, which are part of these Terms. In short, you must not:

harass, threaten, demean, or bully anyone, or post hate speech;
impersonate any person (including BTS members or other public figures) or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone;
post sexual, violent, or otherwise inappropriate content, or any content involving minors;
use the Service if you are under 18, or interact with anyone you believe is under 18;
solicit money, run scams, phish, or engage in other fraudulent or deceptive activity;
send spam, mass or repetitive unsolicited messages, or unsolicited advertising or promotion, or use the Service for commercial purposes;
share other members’ private information or content outside the Service without their consent;
use bots, scrapers, or automated tools, attempt to access data or accounts that are not yours, probe or disrupt the Service, or reverse engineer it except where the law permits;
circumvent safety features, blocks, restrictions, suspensions, bans, or rate limits, including by creating new accounts;
manipulate or abuse our verification, reporting, or moderation systems, including by submitting false reports or false, altered, or borrowed verification documents;
upload malware or content that infringes anyone’s rights (including copyright, trademark, privacy, or publicity rights — for example photos you did not take or do not have permission to use, or photos of other people posted without their consent).

5. Your content

You own your content. You keep ownership of everything you post, upload, or send through the Service — your profile photo, bio, messages, and other material (“your content”). Nothing in these Terms transfers that ownership to us.
Licence to us. So that we can run the Service, you grant Marverik LLC a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, process, transmit, and display your content, only as necessary to operate, provide, and moderate the Service and consistent with your visibility settings. Our service providers may process your content on our behalf for the same purposes.
No advertising, no sale. We do not use your content for advertising and we do not sell it. We will not use your identifiable content in promotional material without your separate permission.
Your promises. By posting content, you confirm that you own it or have all the rights, permissions, and consents needed to post it and to grant us the licence above (including the consent of anyone else who appears in a photo), and that it does not violate copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any person, or any law.
Responsibility. You are responsible for your content. Content posted by members is theirs, not ours, and we do not endorse it.
Review and removal. Profile photos are reviewed before they become visible to other members. We may remove, hide, or restrict access to any content that we reasonably believe violates these Terms, the Community Guidelines, the law, or the rights of others.
Deletion. When you delete content or your account, this licence ends, except that we may keep limited copies for the retention periods and purposes described in the Privacy Policy (for example, for safety, legal, or backup reasons). Messages, chat images and related conversation records are handled after deletion as described in our Privacy Policy. We cannot remove copies that other people may have made outside the Service.
Rights complaints. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright or other rights, email [email protected] with the details. We will review it and remove the content where appropriate.

6. Other members and your safety

Other members’ profiles and messages belong to them. Do not copy, screenshot-and-share, or redistribute other members’ content or personal information outside the Service without their consent.
We do not run criminal background checks on members and we cannot guarantee anyone’s identity. Badges (such as the Annyeong Badge) reflect an in-app quiz or process, not identity verification.
If you choose to meet another member in person, you do so at your own risk. Use common sense: meet in public places, tell someone where you are going, and stay in control of your travel. Safety guidance in the app, and any planning or reminder tool we may offer, are reminders only — they are not monitoring, they do not alert emergency services, and they are not a substitute for your own judgement. In an emergency, contact local emergency services.
You can block any member (they will not be notified) and report behaviour that violates our rules.

7. Moderation and enforcement

Moderation on Annyeong is human-led. We review reports from members and may also review accounts, profiles, content, and behaviour where necessary to investigate suspected violations, enforce our rules, or protect the community.
We may restrict, suspend, or terminate an account where we reasonably believe that the account, its content, or its use violates these Terms, our Community Guidelines, our safety rules, or other policies that apply to the Service. Reasons for enforcement may include, among other things:
- using Annyeong primarily for dating, sexual or romantic solicitation, promotion, recruitment, or other purposes unrelated to the Annyeong community;
- spam, unsolicited promotion, or solicitation;
- scams, fraud, phishing, or other deceptive activity;
- harassment, abuse, threats, or conduct that may endanger other members;
- impersonation, material misrepresentation, or misuse of another person’s identity;
- attempts to evade a previous restriction, suspension, or termination;
- failure to meet or verify Annyeong’s minimum age requirement (see section 2); or
- other violations of these Terms, our Community Guidelines, or applicable safety policies.
Depending on the nature, severity, and circumstances of the issue, we may issue a warning, restrict features, temporarily suspend an account, suspend an account indefinitely, permanently suspend or terminate an account, remove content, or take other appropriate action. Where appropriate, including where necessary to protect members, the community, or the integrity of the Service, we may act without prior warning and may involve law enforcement.
When we restrict, suspend, or terminate an account, we provide a notice explaining the applicable reason for the action and how to request a review, except where applicable law does not require or permit such notice.
We do not disclose who reported you. Reports are handled confidentially and are not disclosed to the reported member, except where disclosure is required or permitted by law.
If you believe a decision was made in error, you may request a review by contacting us at [email protected].

8. Third-party services

Spotify (optional): you can connect your Spotify account or upload your Spotify listening export to show BTS listening stats on your profile. This feature is subject to Spotify’s own terms and privacy policy. Annyeong is not affiliated with Spotify. You can disconnect at any time, which deletes the related data.
App stores: your use of the app is also subject to the terms of the store you downloaded it from (Google Play, App Store).
Links or references to third-party services are not endorsements; we are not responsible for third-party services.

9. Deleting your account; termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time in the app, at app.annyeong.io, or at annyeong.io/delete-account. Deletion takes effect after a grace period (currently 7 days) during which your account is already invisible to others; details are in the Privacy Policy.
We may restrict, suspend, or terminate your account as described in section 7, or discontinue the Service in whole or in part, if we are required to by law or if providing the Service is no longer commercially viable. Where reasonable, we will give you notice.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including the parts of section 5 that apply after deletion, and sections 11–14) survive.

10. Availability and changes to the Service

The core Service is provided free of charge and is under active development. Features may change, be added, or be removed. The Service also offers an optional paid membership, Annyeong Plus, which unlocks additional features; its price and terms are presented clearly before you pay. Core features of the Service — discovering, connecting, and chatting — are not part of any paid plan, and no existing free feature you rely on will silently become paid without notice.

Annyeong Plus subscriptions

Annyeong Plus is an optional, auto-renewing subscription, which may be offered with monthly and/or yearly billing periods. The exact price, billing period, and included features are always displayed in the app before you subscribe.

Billing. Subscriptions are purchased through, and billed by, the Apple App Store or Google Play, under your store account and the store’s payment terms. We do not collect or store your payment card details.
Auto-renewal. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or yearly, as selected) at the price shown when you subscribed — or, if the price changes, at the new price communicated to you in advance — unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
Cancellation. You can cancel at any time in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep Annyeong Plus features until then. Uninstalling the app or deleting your account does not by itself cancel a store subscription — cancel it in your store settings.
Refunds. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their store policies. Nothing in these Terms limits any refund or withdrawal rights you have under mandatory local law.
Changes to Plus. If we change subscription pricing or materially reduce what Annyeong Plus includes, we will notify you in advance, and the change will apply no earlier than your next billing period.

11. Intellectual property

The Annyeong name, logo, design, software, and all content we create belong to Marverik LLC or its licensors. We grant you a personal, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app and Service as intended by these Terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from the Service except as allowed by law.

Geographical data provided by GeoNames under CC BY 4.0. GeoNames does not endorse Annyeong.

12. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not guarantee that you will meet anyone, get along with anyone, or that members are who they say they are. Your interactions with other members — online and offline — are your responsibility.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Marverik LLC will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service — including the conduct of other members, online or offline. To the extent liability cannot be excluded, our total liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to USD 100 or the amount you paid us in the last 12 months, whichever is greater.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, including liability for wilful misconduct or gross negligence, or your statutory rights as a consumer.

14. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by the law of your country, you agree to indemnify Marverik LLC against claims by third parties arising from your content or your breach of these Terms.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Wyoming, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

If you are a consumer in the European Union or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer protections: you keep all protections of the mandatory laws of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of your country.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. For material changes we will notify you in the app or by email before the changes take effect, and you may need to accept the updated Terms to continue using the Service. The “Last updated” date above always reflects the current version. If you do not agree to updated Terms, stop using the Service and delete your account.

17. General

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the Community Guidelines are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets; you may not assign them.
