Baby’s first award
by javabeans
girlfriday: Look, we got a shiny trophy!
javabeans: Dramabeans was chosen to receive a Dari Award this year, given out by the Korea Creative Content Agency (part of the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism), for their 10 Year Commemorative Dari Award. We were surprised and super honored to be the recipient, and happy to share the news with you.
girlfriday: “Dari” means “bridge,” and the award honors businesses that spread Korean culture, promote creative content in the US, and bridge the culture gap.
javabeans: It’s really cool, because we feel like our work is just us doing what we like to do, and now people are giving us awards for doing it, and that sort of feels like we hit the jackpot.
girlfriday: We attended the ceremony last night and got to meet a lot of really cool people who work in the industry on the creative side of things. Mostly we thanked our mothers for raising us to be drama addicts, and we thanked all of you guys, our readers, for being such an awesome community.
javabeans: You couldn’t hear us say it, but we were super complimentary about you and said really nice things, I swear!
girlfriday: You would have cried if you heard our acceptance speech.
javabeans: Which explains why I’m in LA right now, and also why maybe somebody is slacking on her Pinocchio recaps…
girlfriday: I AM NOT slacking! *hiccup*
javabeans: But we’ll be back at work soon, once we stop staring at the shiny trophy.
girlfriday: And drinking our celebratory wine.
javabeans: That might take a while. Will it happen sooner if we drink faster?
girlfriday: I dunno, let’s try.
javabeans: Is there an award for that too? ‘Cause I think we could win that one.
girlfriday: Not yet, but until someone invents that award and gives it to us, we’ll just have to keep pushing Korean dramas down everyone’s throats.
javabeans: Back to work, missy! Recaps don’t write themselves.
girlfriday: DON’T I KNOW IT.

Aww, congratulations. You totally deserve it. You're definitely a bridge, bringing Koreans and non-Koreans alike to collectively appreciate a vibrant culture. I've learned a lot just by following your blog for almost three years now. Keep up the great work. Definitely inspired by the quote "doing what you love and getting rewarded for it." Sounds like a dream job to me.

Congratulations, JB n GF! Completely well deserved! Also congrats to your crew who help keep the boat sailing smoothly! As many others have said, this site has given me hours of joy and also a better understanding of the korean culture from their explanations of cultural norms and the insights on dramas. Can not go a day without dropping in to check on news n recaps! Love you guys, keep up the great work! N enjoy your wine, well earned award indeed! ??

After a long tiring day, I see this and makes me totally happy like my best friend has won a trophy !
Am a lurker most times, but DB and its whole world, the comments, the community, the civility, the interest and most of all the apparent love for dramas that bonds people !
Internet has sometimes become such a hateful place these days, that its come to a point where I don't google or read a review or anything(English or Korean dramas or anything pop culture) just to not get frustrated with all the buzz kills out there just cuz they want clicks !
But this place is a sanctuary ! Of all that's good about any fandom and internet culture!
I thank you girls for that ! For always keeping the home welcoming and warm for constructive criticism and collective squeeling !
This is not the end ! You girls will go even more places! I know it !
Congratulations!!!!!

Congratulations! That is such a great honor and recognition for you and all your hard work. I don't remember how I even found your site a year ago but have loved it. I became addicted to Korean Dramas a year and a half ago and you have added so much to my knowledge and interest in dramas. Thank you for all you do and again, congrats on the award you are so deserving of
