As we go about our busy lives, there are times when the precious relationships we have maintained lose contact one by one. We who live with many memories from the past want to contact them, but since we don’t know their contact information or address, all we know is their name. Moreover, in this day and age, personal information protection laws are applied very sensitively, so I think you all know from common sense that trying to find a person by name is not an easy task. This is a world where it is difficult to find out the exact location of a specific person, even if they are related by blood or family. Is there really a way to find someone by name?
Nevertheless, there are many methods you can try. If you can find traces of the person you want to find online, you can find out their residence or contact information by asking around. The most accessible method is to use SNS. I hope you can find the person you are looking for by using the following methods.
Find people on Facebook
As you all know, Facebook is the largest social media platform used by over 2.5 billion people worldwide. In the past, it was recognized as an app for teenagers and those in their 20s to spend time on, but recently, as the usage time of middle-aged and older people increases, it has expanded to all age groups, and no matter how much YouTube and other SNS are growing in size, Facebook usage time is hardly decreasing. The characteristic is that it does not.
If the person you are looking for is registered with Facebook and information such as name, residence, and photo is public so that it can be exposed to the outside world when searching for the name, you can simply search for the name and find the person. The chances of being able to do it will be very high. The biggest advantage of Facebook is that you can communicate with people you find in this way through the direct message function provided by Facebook even without contact information.
Of course, if the name of the person you are looking for is really a common name, you will have to search through so many search results until it hurts your eyes to see if the person you are looking for is there, but if you are really desperate to find it, that would be nothing, right? However, since most people on Facebook have their personal information set to private to prevent it from being exposed to external searches, it may be difficult to find it using this method depending on whether it is public or not.
Naver Band
Find a band member
Naver Band, which ranks among the top app usage times in Korea, is an app that is used a lot by middle-aged people, so it is suitable to use when collecting information about older people.
In my opinion, the strongest advantage of Naver Band is that it has an alumni association of elementary, middle, and high school alumni, and there is a very high possibility that you can check through alumni whether there are people who have joined the band and are in contact with that friend. Therefore, if you know the name of the person you are looking for and the school they graduated from, you can use Naver Band.
Use of Instagram
Instagram, which is dependent on Facebook, is a photo-based SNS service and has a much higher percentage of people sharing their daily lives than Facebook, so the methods for finding people on Instagram with names I know are the same as on Facebook. It can work. This means that not everyone’s tastes in SNS are the same, and even if some people have made all information on Naver Band and Facebook private, we cannot rule out the possibility that only Instagram has been set to allow external searches. Probably not.
Even if you don’t have contact information on Instagram, you can use the direct message sending function to communicate immediately. Of course, whether the contact continues or not will be determined depending on whether the person who received the message I sent wants to communicate. Since the three SNSs introduced are the most widely used apps in Korea, this will be the easiest way to access them.
Google Direct Search
The Google Direct Search method requires you to have the name of the person you are looking for as well as at least one piece of personal information. For example, if you enter a combination of the year of birth, area of residence, and name of the person you are looking for, you can find clues or clues based on information registered on the web.
This method is possible when there are posts related to the person whose name you are looking for registered on Internet homepages, bulletin boards, etc., rather than the SNS introduced earlier. This method may also be difficult unless you are a person with many traces in the Internet space. there is.
Search KakaoTalk ID
If you are a friend with whom you often communicated in the past, you often remember that person’s messenger ID, such as Cyworld. When using numerous services on the Internet and mobile devices, most people often sign up with the same ID rather than using different IDs, so there is a very high possibility of finding it by searching for the ID you remember at the time in the KakaoTalk ID search. I see.
In this method, the ID you remember must be accurate to be displayed in search results. If you have set it to not display external search results, the results will not be displayed.
Find people
If you just search for the word ‘search for people’ on Naver, you will get numerous results. Private detective, former investigative agency, etc. If there is someone who wants to find someone even by paying a large amount of money, it may be a personal decision, but it is important to keep in mind that since it is not a legal method, it may cause legal problems later.
In this article, we learned about ways to find people by name. The point is to find it through traces of usage in the Internet space, and among the methods that can be used with just three letters of name, the methods introduced are the most effective methods.
