## About

Wippy is a South Korean dating app. Dating Industry Insights identifies Enrise as its operator, and describes Wippy as one of several Korean dating apps that have expanded into Japan. Enrise rolled out Wippy Japan with Korea-Japan matching features. In April 2026 DII reported company-disclosed figures showing that Japan accounts for roughly 40 percent of Wippy's active user base, only two years after market entry. DII said the app has 1.8 million active users with 12 percent paying subscribers, which DII compared with a regional average of 8 to 10 percent. The same story reported that Korean men match with Japanese women at 2.2 times the rate of Japanese men matching with Korean women, and described this as the basis of the company's cross-border strategy. The product includes real-time translation for Korean and Japanese conversations, country-specific profile prompts and what the company calls cultural context guides. DII reported tiered subscription pricing of 29,000 won a month in Korea and 2,400 yen a month in Japan. DII has published several financial figures for Wippy and Enrise that do not fully reconcile, so this profile omits revenue and profit numbers.
