  People make a torchlight on a basket or a container tied with a strong string, going out, playing with, twirling it. Sometimes, there's a fight between other village members. They play the game until midnight and after enjoying the game, they make a fire on the farmland.
context_section_description: There is no particular way to play, but it is usually played by burning a bunch of brooms or trees and burning the fields around the village. Depending on the province, people run around with kindling made of mugwort and set fires and nowadays, they even run Bulkkangtong (Hangul: 불깡통, mean: fire-cans)
  To make a fire-can, first drill dozens of holes in the surface of an empty can with a spike. The reason for punching holes is to make the air flow well so that the branches in the cans are well burned. After drilling into a can, a wire of about 1 meter is connected to each side of it to make a handle. When a fire-can is made like this, the tree is placed in the can and the fire is started. Then, if you hold the string with one hand and turn it vigorously, the fuel in the can burns, creating a beautiful spark like a dance. Children spin cans and compete with whom fire burns better. Recently, there have been more and more a fire-can instead of a torch or a bundle of straw. So playing the fire-can be understood as a Jwibulnori.
