Game: How Well Do You Know The Members of JangHaven?

[Jane]

 

HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW THE MEMBERS OF JANGHAVEN?

 

Everyday we watch dramas together, we hang out in the Dabang, we play games and we karaoke at the Discord. But really how well do you know your fellow JangHaven member? Well, now is the time to find out!

 

  

 

We asked for volunteers and 22 tributes from across the forum have bravely stepped forth into the spotlight for you to learn more about them.

 

In addition to the 22, @mademoiselle and I have also invited two secret tributes, henceforth known as Jokers, to be part of this! That makes 24 tributes for you to get to know and guess!

 

  

 

In the next post, we will be introducing them to everyone for you to start getting to know them.

The game will officially commence on Sunday, 29 Nov with the game instructions. 

 

Start spreading the word! We can't wait!

LET'S GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER

 

 

 

Presenting to you the 24 members of the forum who have taken the first step to put themselves out there to get to know everyone better!

 

  

 

Take some time to read through their profile to learn more about them! Then ping them in the Lounge threads to discuss common interests, mention them in drama threads to discuss views now that you know each other, or start to play games in the Lounges and Discord. Let's all be better forum friends!

 

 

 

Name	Bios
ssteph	An introvert, shy person and homebody. Rarely watch dramas or movies. Prefer reading books. Have an interest in dramas especially which are related to books. Have an interest in East Asian culture.
TiNaDo	Born in the wrong century but in the right place. Always dreaming of things that have already happened and of things that would never be. Lost in translation, found in languages and cultures. Sees in red, lives in red, breathes in red. Watches drama because the drama in her life is never enough. The tea is not enough either, never. Finds solace in writing and believes that writing finds solace in her.
Made-moiselle	I enjoy a good reading although my favourite past times is watching TV. Real life can be harsh so I like to relax and lose myself in the imaginative world of dramas and movies. I have been watching Korean dramas for ~10 years. I watch a wide variety of genres, mainly mini-series to mid-length. Makjang comprising illogical amnesia, birth secret and exaggerated acting are not my cuppa.
Jane	Hotelier was my first k-drama, H.O.T's Candy my first k-pop song, and BoA my forever k-pop Queen. An aspiring plant mama, I am currently working hard to keep my five plant babies alive. Please send them good vibes and me some good tips! I love art, museums, history and exploring a city thoroughly.
liddi	Books, music and the occasional series or movie have been my go-to harbour ever since I can remember, though kdramas are a far more recent addition. After fobbing off countless attempts by friends in the past, I was finally initiated into this world through The Master's Sun, falling in love with practically everything about it - cast, script, soundtrack. Looking back though, its genre was more a fluke than the norm. My usual choice of viewing fare predominantly revolves around darker, bleaker themes with the non-negotiable exclusion of gore, though any work of scriptwriter Kim Eun Hee's is hands down an automatic shoo-in. Literary sources and adaptations of beloved works, good or bad, are invariably sought even if I might have to suffer through them. The odd payoff when an adaptation exceeds expectations is well worth it! Was once dubbed "bloodthirsty" after gleefully describing the growing body count in 3Days... can't imagine what they were thinking! Green is my favourite colour for more reasons than one, as those who knew me during my early shipping days will tell you.
Jesscisu	I am Miss Unpopular Opinion, my top favorites are probably not your favorites. Yet your favorites will probably also be my favorites, simply because I love everything! Including people. Don't get me started about actors or idols because the conversation will create a literal fangirl black hole right there in its place. You will see a small black circle image appear and it will get bigger and bigger until it takes up your screen and eventually desk, house, and maybe your country too. So don't get me started.   To make this an actual bio: I'm somewhere in my late 20s and from a tiny country in Europe, mysterious right? Thanks for reading, love you.
Oppasarang-haeyo	A language and creatives enthusiast, ever so grateful to be able to enjoy them in their varied forms. I live in a borderless and barrier-free world, where dreams and deities, families and friends, even royalties and rarities, not forgetting oppas and ottos, exist. It’s Lalaland, my Dramaverse. Who says only cats have nine lives?   I like to think that it’s where I’m on top of the world, enjoying its myriad offerings, and overlooking the world of drama enthusiasts and their varied reactions. Often, I find myself looking at mirror images of myself. It’s really fun and funny haha. The fun escalates when I could connect, whether it be via passive reading, or via active chats in forums/platforms such as JangHaven. Just JJANG!   My maxim: “Family isn’t about who you share blood with; it’s about who you care to share love and funtertainment with.” 짱 가족!
MayanEcho	I’m that person who likes to sit quietly at the corner, and let things be while I’m in my own little world. Pretty sure that the most common first impression of me is that I am aloof. When I’m not busy, I would either be reading or catching up with friends online. I do like watching feel good shows, and I love books. Living the expat life for years now, I’ve no problem trying out different dishes and delicacies.
StrongTower	Wherever you place her, she thrives; be it on the mountainsides, or the darkest valleys, or in the deepest oceans, she can & will survive! She likes to multi-task & loves trying out new things! She dreams of becoming Kim Sabu's best apprentice, jamming with the 99ers band on Thursdays given that Sung-il sajangnim has no fraudulent work for her to do. She can be very shy when first time meeting people. She is fond of playing games but not reading comics although meeting Kang Chul was one for the books. She believes that it is important to work hard but should not forget to enjoy life as well. Hopefully, Professor Cha agrees with her. When this world stresses her out, she always finds time to spend 2 days & 1 night camping or chilling out with her family & friends.
Alice Wonderland	Once upon a time, she was bored waiting for dramas subtitle. There was a white rabbit that lead her to wonderland. It's a place where a bunch of cool people gathered. She enjoys lot of adventures and twists here.
Joccu	Finnish teacher who is addicted to sports, mystery/thiller tv-series and coffee. I love renovating and painting. I live in a summer city.
AwkwarDerp	I'm the last gens of the 90s and I am a hidden member in JangHaven. I like dinosaurs over everything, except corgis and I drink milk more than I drink water daily. I've been watching crime dramas since I was young e.g. Forensic Heroes. My favourite fictional character is Olaf, because who wouldn't love a snowman that hate winter? My name is related to what I collect of artists and I have a soft heart for suit & glasses, like Miles Wei.
TraNz	Loves listening to kpop, regardless of knowing or understanding the Korean language, but I'm sure for most of us it's like that. I am slowly turning into a home-body from watching KDramas and KVariety shows, although depending on who is starring in it, that is the deciding factor on whether it is worth watching or rejecting. I have a very unhealthy diet and find it very hard to pass up such delicious foods.
JeannieBean	I’m from the sunshine state. I love to write fanfiction and watch dramas. My favorite drama is flower boy next door. Yoon shi Yoon is my favorite actor and my favorite actress is IU.
Chocolate	Singapore is my home. I swear you can lose weight if you eat a bar of chocolate as lunch. Thrillers are good, but romance and smut are faves now. The opposite for dramas. Itching to travel - even Johor Bahru is looking enticing now. Very loyal. Hyun Bin only ❤ BinJin ❤
Osmanthus Tea	Drama/movie addict since birth (towed by Mommy and gank since a baby inside the cinema), splitting my heart 50:50 between Kdrama and Cdrama. A professional shade thrower with a mood to match. Can be extraordinarily sweet if want to. Obsesses with abs, great kisses and realistic making out session on screen.
Jeijei	Kang Dong Won is life and the sum of my existence. And pandas, of course. Nothing more.
im0202	I'm an avid watcher of movies, tv shows, dramas and sports. I listen to many genres of music from Classical to Rock and I love travelling and learning about different cultures. I'm currently learning to play the ukelele.
LaLa	I live in a country with a tropical climate. So far I have spent about more than a decade in exploring K-Entertainment World. You can say I am an avid fan for K-Ent . In my free time, I will spend it by watching dramas or I will probably be buried in fantasy world by reading fiction. My mother used to say when I was young, she has no problem left me alone in a bookstore because she knew she will find me in the same place she left me behind in a book section. No worries for the the book because I won't harm or destroy it either.
ktcjdrama	Started watching drama series since I was a teen, but due to heavy loads in college and during early career building days, I left this favourite pastime. When people in my office were talking about Autumn In My Hearts, I have no idea and no interest what that is about. It wasn't till Secret Garden was in the buzz for the longest time that I started to check out dramas again, particularly Kdramas. However, it wasn't exactly Secret Garden that hooked me back in, instead it was the combination of watching The Greatest Love, Queen In-Hyun's Man, Nice Guy. Since then, I learned how to download raw episodes and extract soft subs to watch the episodes. Sometimes even watching raw, which then lead me to go learn the Korean language, until now. I watch all kinds and all genres of Kdramas, whether the prime-times, the weekenders, or the dailies. It really depends on my mood. My all time favourite genre would be mysteries or crime-solving, but I enjoy horror thrillers and fluffy rom-coms too. I have no single favourite drama nor Oppa, but I have my own hall of fame. You can ask me stuff about Kdramas, just don't ask me anything about Kpop because I cannot tell you much.
JenL	I'm JenL hailing from Australia. I got hooked on watching Asian dramas after starting an episode of the K-drama, Coffee Prince, when I was bored one afternoon in 2007. My favourite dramas are from Taiwan and Korea, though I do occasionally watch the odd show from Japan or China every now and then. If I'm not watching dramas, you catch me collecting cute snippets of behind the scenes drama content or translating stuff on my blog. Outside of drama life, I like reading, travelling, hanging out with friends, going out for brunch and doing crafty journal things.
mirmz	I am from America (specifically the Midwestern area). I enjoy posting memes, eating Asian food, and snuggling my cat. I am a fraternal twin (not identical) and I have blue eyes. Fun Fact About Me: Last year I broke maybeeee 15 pairs of earbuds, you know like the really cheap ones from the Dollar Tree?
Joker 1	I studied a lot and ended up with a medical certificate, 2 undergraduates, one master and ongoing PhD. I feel like I'm on my feet all the time because of work.
Joker 2	I collect books, strum the ukulele from time to time and drink kombucha regularly.

GAME START

 

Now that you know who are the Tributes and the Jokers, it’s finally time to play…*drumroll please.

 

How Well Do You Know The Members of Jang Haven!

 

   

 

In the next post, you will find a set of clues for each Tribute and Joker. Each set of clues consists of a set of facts that each person has provided and their DPs pixelated by the game masters. All you have to do is match each set of clues to the correct member and try to identify who the Joker is.

 

Every correct member matched = 1 point. Every correct joker identified = 1 point.

 

Simple, right?

 

 

 

We thought so. We need to make this more of a challenge!

 

So hidden among each set of facts is a lie. And for every lie that you are also able to correctly identify of the tribute or joker, you gain 1 bonus point!

 

This means that each tribute is worth 2 points and each joker is worth 3 points.

 

A total of 50 points (for non-tributes) and 48 points (for tributes) are up for grabs. The person with the highest percentage points will win A DIGITAL OST of their choice and all participants and tributes will gain a participation medal.

 

Post your answers as a spoiler post in this thread by Sunday 6 Dec, 8PM KST. You should mention the LIE for each person in your answer. For example: Member XYZ - I like coffee.

 

You may change it throughout the week up till the submission deadline.

 

Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favour!

Hahahahahaha unfortunately no.

[Tofu]

Who is this Park Seo Jun fangirl that have not joined in me in his shrine thread?! Or have you and I just have no idea too?  Or wait, is that the lie because if that your lie....

 

Number 21, I know who it is just by clue no 2 alone. Haha! 

 

Edit - I think I figured out all the members/jokers. I just need to figure out the lies. 

[Alice Wonderland]

Wow... what a nice guessing game! It looks easy but it isn't that easy after all. Lols. 

 

Thanks to all those who have arranged this beautiful ''knowing each other well' space in a form of a fun game for us all here. Yea.. let's be a better forum friends!

[Tofu]

I don't know much about everyone so when guessing the lies, I decided to look at it as, "which two of these would I want to be true for the member?".  

 

Spoiler

1. JeannieBean - No. 1 is the lie because I want you to have started earlier than 18 and also, Latin music is fun, and Lizzie McGuire is great. Haha!
2. Jane - No. 2 is the lie, it was what I guessed prior to you disclosing it because I know you are a HP fan and I figured you love earrings based off some of your Twitter posts. Haha!
3. ssteph - I want all of these to be true so no lies. Haha!!
4. ktcjdrama - I want all of these these to be true so no lies too. Haha!
5. AwkwarDerp - No. 3 is the lie because Sungha Jung is really talented and I would not be surprised if you started because of him and I remember reading something about you liking chocolate. Maybe you are taller than 4'8" because why not?
6. StrongTower - No. 1 is the lie because the other two just seems more feasible. Haha!
7. liddi - No. 3 is the lie because some adaptations are pretty decent?
8. im0202 - I want all of these to be true for you, so no lies again. 
9. Oppasarang-haeyo - No. 1 is the lie purely because the other two are much longer and more specific. 
10. Osmanthus Tea - No. 2 is the lie because Lee Min Ho is scary territory with all his diehard fans. 
11. TraNz - No. 2 is the lie because I want you to have lots of self-confidence and if you don't, we need to change that. 
12. TiNaDo - No. 3 is the lie because I remember reading somewhere that you lived in different areas of Europe before, so maybe living in Moscow is less/more than 15 years? 
13. Joccu - Well, I know you like sports so I'm hoping no. 1 is true, I also remember you saying you prefer not to watch rom-coms, so no. 3 is the lie? You should've had the lie be, "I do not like F1". I would have been able to guess that correctly!
14. mademoiselle - No. 3 is the lie because I don't want the other two to be lies. Haha! 
15. mirmz - No. 1 is the lie because the third one seems a bit specific, knowing how to play the clarinet sounds like fun -- not everyone has to like spicy foods, right?
16. Chocolate - No. 1 is a lie. LOL!!
17. jesscisu - I want all of these to be true for you, so can I say that none of them are lies again? Haha! 
18. Jeijei - No. 1 is the lie because nothing wrong with looking younger and the third one just seems too specific, although I have no idea who they are. Also, I almost wanted to say everything is true because being an imposter sounds like fun too. Haha!
19. Soju - I'm a bit annoyed with these truths because I know they are at most 90% true, if not all true. I'm going to say that no. 3 is the lie because I think you've been to more countries. 
20. Alice Wonderland - No. 3 is the lie because noodles and spicy foods are good, and positivity is something everyone needs. 
21. JenL - No. 3 is the lie because I remember you telling me about the second one, I also want you to meet your favorite Asian drama start in real life, which makes the third one the lie.
22. LaLa - No. 1 is the lie because the second one is a skill I would envy, and the third one has to be true. One of my favorite F1 driver's number is 3 and my hope is that your connection to it is similar to mine. LOL!! 
23. 40somethingahjumma - No. 1 is the lie because I remember seeing you recommend some sci-fi shows. 
24. MayanEcho - No. 3 is the lie because I don't want people to ask you where you're from since I don't think that's pertinent information, having naturally curled eyelashes and being able to keep plants alive are things I envy in other people. 

 

By the way, Joker 1 is Soju and Joker 2 is 40somethingahjumma.
