From olden times, in the villages of Changjuk and Jeokgak, Taebaek, people collectively prepared compost in autumn, and in winter they collected fire wood. When the young men of a village climbed mountains to collect wood, they would sit in a sunny place to play games and tell stories. In particular, when climbing Mt. Gubong, located between the two villages, young people of the two villages divided into two groups, and competed in games to see which side would get the most favorable wood collecting places. One of the most popular of these games was the a-frame carrier game. This game was also played in autumn when they conducted galpulsseoli

Originally young people of the two villages would meet in a open space on Mt. Gubong, and engage in a verbal competition. Then the older people suggested that they compete in a show of physical strength, with the best stands of trees going to the winning side. The young people, divided into two groups, would compete against each other in various events such as jumping, standing on one leg, turning, walking, etc., all while carrying an A-frame on their backs. If the winner could not be decided by individual competition, they were divided into two groups to conduct a collective competition using A-frames. The competition came to an end when one side would give in. They would then have to climb to the relatively unfavorable places to collect wood, which was their lot as the losers of the game
