This is a game familiar to almost everyone whether in Korea or in other countries. This is a variation of the game "Red light, green light" or "1,2,3".

How to play Mugunghwa Flower has bloomed:

• This game is usually played with a group of people, the more the merrier. There are 2 lines, a starting line for the player to start and a finish line where the catcher stands. There is 1 player standing at the finish line with his back to the other players.
• While turning his back on the other players, the catcher will shout 'Mugunghwa Flower has bloomed' (Mugunghwa kkoci pieot seumnida). While the catcher shouts, the player can advance as quickly as possible. When the catcher finishes chanting 'Mugunghwa Flower has bloomed' (Mugunghwa kkoci pieot seumnida), the catcher will quickly turn to look at the player. At this point, if any player moves, they will lose. In the end, if a player has come close to the catcher and can touch the catcher, that player will quickly touch the catcher and the whole group of players tries to run as fast as possible across the starting line. If someone is caught during that run, that person will lose and will have to become the catcher for the next turn. If the catcher does not catch anyone during that time, he must continue to be the catcher for the next round.
