Celebrity couple Jang Dong Gun and Go So Young recently held their first birthday party for their son, Jang Min Joon. Jang Dong Gun's agency stated, "Jang Dong Gun came back to Korea on October 3rd to celebrate his son's first birthday. They only invited close friends and relatives to this private event." The event was said to be small and cozy, and guests shared their well-wishes with the proud parents. Then came time for the party's highlight -- the "dol-jab-ee" ritual. For Koreans, the highlight of a child's first birthday party lies in the "dol-jab-ee" ritual. "Dol-jab-ee" is a tradition in which a family lays out a few objects with symbolic meanings in front of the 1-year-old (like money, books, and rice cakes). Whatever object the child chooses determines their "future" or "character". Baby Jang Min Joon chose rice, which meant success and everlasting health. This promised that he would follow his parents' path in the future. In celebration of their child's first birthday, Jang Dong Gun and Go So Young also donated $100,000 USD to a charity.
