While attempting to fix the article and attempting to do research, I realised that there are too many variations to this game that it is hard to decide which version I should reflect in the article. Some versions are attested in books, but not available online and its only in korean. Some are attested in blogs that are made by researchers however blogs arent really considered a good source in wikipedia. Mpst of them are different attestations of experiences and even other encyclopedias are not sure about it.Waltzingmogumogupeach (talk) 16:02, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

What actually happens in this game?

The article does not really give any explanation of what the game actually entails. Do the players tag each other? Chase each other? Is it a race of some kind? There is a description of the play area and a statement that the object is to defeat the other team and a reference to moving with "one foot" or "two feet" but I cannot picture what this game would actually look like if I saw a group of people playing it.

Can someone who is familiar with this game at least put a one-sentence summary to provide a foundation to understand all the other rules which are listed? Something that would be equivalent to a statement such as "soccer is a game played on a field, in which two teams of players attempt to use their feet to kick a ball into the net of the opposing team". Or "chess is a game played by 2 players in which various types of game pieces are moved around a game board in a simulated battle. The winning player is the one who is first to capture a specific game piece (the king) from the other player."
