About Gold Spoon

Gold Spoon (골드스푼) is a dating app for the South Korean market that bases membership on document verification. Its website says it started in April 2018 and describes itself as the first Korean dating app to require proof of financial standing at sign-up. Members can earn a badge by submitting documents such as withholding tax receipts, property registration papers or professional licences. The site also says Gold Spoon holds the ISMS-P information security and privacy certification issued through the Korea Internet and Security Agency.

The Apple App Store lists the app under the seller name Triple comma Corp., which Dating Industry Insights calls Triplecomma. In July 2026 Dating Industry Insights reported that Gold Spoon delivered revenue of 11 billion won (about $8.2 million) at a 16.4 per cent operating margin, the highest margin among Korea's three largest independent dating operators it compared. These figures are as reported by DII for the most recent year at that time.

The same report said Triplecomma launched a premium app, Hills High, in Japan in April 2026 and plans a Korea-Japan marriage matching platform by 2028. DII linked this expansion to research showing that 70 per cent of Koreans in their twenties and thirties do not intend to use dating apps.
