First Anniversary Event - Wishing Well

[stroppyse]

Want to tell us your wish?

Want to wish us well?

In celebration of our first birthday/anniversary, this thread is anything and everything to do with wishes! And then some!

 

 

 

It's hard to believe, but JangHaven is turning 1 year old on August 22, 2021! This community started as a casual joke, but has since grown into the community that you see here! So, we want to say THANK YOU to those members who started with us, encouraged us, and gave us support in so many ways. We also want to say THANK YOU to members who have joined us since our start. We know that we are a small community, but perhaps because of that, your participation matters so much to us!

 

 

 

In Korean culture, a baby's first birthday is called a Dol Janchi where "Dol" stands for the baby's first year and "Janchi" means feast or celebration. So this is JangHaven's doljanchi!

 

 

We hope that you'll celebrate with us as we celebrate the first year of JangHaven! We have a number of games and events planned listed below with the links to those threads:

 

Nominate your favorite JangHaven Unnie or Oppa!

 

Guess the Drama Game - video edition

 

What Are You Eating Now?

 

 

We also want to give out some special LOVE  to some of our Members!

 

For our Members who have contributed so much to JangHaven by starting threads, posting frequently, answering questions by newer Members, etc., we have a Super Contributor badge that we will be giving out. Our first Super Contributor is @mademoiselle!

 

For our Members who have contributed drama/movie/show reviews to JangHaven. While interacting on the threads about a drama is fun, things can get buried or out of date in the threads, so it's nice to have a review to read. While everyone who has given us a review will get the special Reviewer badge, we would like to particularly applaud @40somethingahjumma who is our Super Reviewer!

 

 

Finally, while you're here, we wanted to make a donation appeal as well. We are an all volunteer staff who do what we do because we love to watch dramas and discuss them with other drama lovers, and we wanted to have a community that was also a haven. However, it does take real money to support the infrastructure. If you could donate any amount to supporting JangHaven, we would be very appreciative. For being a donating member, we also offer the following:

 

- a special Donor badge

 

- 1000 JH points to spend in the Member Shop

- our everlasting thanks

 

Donate Here!

Oh wow. Thanks for the compliment. @stroppyse

Honestly I didn't do that much but I love the badge!

Congratulations JangHaven ahead of time for reaching a milestone.

Honestly without @abs-oluteM adopting me to her circle and by extension to this community, I think I would just spend my fangirling by myself. Thank you for letting me to have internet friends that I have never imagined. My life won't be the same without this community. 

 

And to all friends that I have made while engaging in this community, thank you so much for letting me to be your friend. I really appreciate it. For adopting this very introvert and shy person to your circle, thank you so much. I can't tag you one by one in fear might forget someone and it would offend them. Love you all 

 

Cheers to more anniversaries and celebration of Jang Haven in the years to come.

Happy 1 Year Old, Jang Haven!

 

Thank you and it is an honour to be nominated. It all started with @NiteWalker Angie inviting me to the Add/Minus thread and the friendships built up from there. I am also happy to meet a few Havenites who share the same passion as I am in our the more the merrier Oppa love, hahahahaha, you guys know who you are!

 

Thank you for making this place hospitable, friendly and welcoming. Thank you for your patience, humour and fun. For many years more to come, I wish you and Jang Haven prosperity and everyone stays healthy.

 

[abs-oluteM]

@LaLa Thank you for coming on board with us. I am so so happy that we get to fangirl together and have this place to chat about anything. Always so appreciative of your translations & recaps.  

And thank you to my drama buddy  @40somethingahjumma for the  many great reviews . Always look forward to your posts on the threads! When I see you watch something, I will always make sure to check out. 

 

@mademoiselle Is our JH goddess. So grateful to you for opening many threads for us and helping us behind the scenes with some of our events.   I feel less bad ogling at young blood now thanks to you! 

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are so many of you that have made this community what it is - a safe and friendly haven. Thank you all for your support in so many ways from opening threads, posting updates & your thoughts , giving financially and just being here. I am glad we can have open conversations, go off topic , talk about life , dramas & oppas . I have watched so many more dramas thanks to all the recommendations. I start and end my day here because there is always something that would make me laugh & smile. Also have to thank everyone on staff who is like family to me -  the team have been amazing because they do so much , allowing us to keep going.

 

Here's to many more years of us having fun and cheering each other on in this place!

@40somethingahjumma ur reviews and posts always gave off another perspectives for us to look at a drama so it’s was really good 

[Maya]

It's a year already? Time flew! 🤗

 

 

Met most of you for the first time in the T/F and listening to which song threads, then in Discord, while coping with the very challenging 2020. You mean so much to me being the warm online friends who are so comfortable to interact with. 😍

 

It's Angie @NiteWalker I talk to and gossip the most. LOL! And @abs-oluteM, thanks a bunch too. You may not remember anymore, but I'm still very grateful.

 

Cheers to more anniversaries! Hats off for this wonderful haven.

Congratulations @mademoiselle and @40somethingahjumma!

 

Thank you both for being so active and continuing to show support for the JangHaven community.

 

I also want to express my sincere thanks to all of you, our beloved members, who continue to support JangHaven and make it such a lovely, fun and enjoyable community. I have to say that I really appreciate the atmosphere of our community. I love reading all of your posts and insights on the threads whether it's in admiration of an oppa, love/hate for a drama or just talking about life in general.

 

Thank you as well to the JangHaven Staff for all your efforts in making this community such a fun place to hang out!

 

JangHaven would not be the place it currently is without all of you!
