Hangu

Hangu is a traditional Korean game that involves a person being suspended by a rope from a high structure, such as a tree or a building, and attempting to guess words or phrases based on clues provided by their captors. The game is often played during festivals and celebrations, and it has been a part of Korean culture for centuries. The person suspended is known as the "hangman," and their captors are called "guessers." The game is a blend of wordplay, strategy, and physical endurance, as the hangman must remain suspended for as long as possible while the guessers try to figure out the correct word or phrase. The game has evolved over time, with variations including different types of clues and rules, but the basic concept remains the same. Hangu is not only a source of entertainment but also a way to test linguistic skills and social interaction.
