On the 24th, while fireworks were held to remove bad luck across the country to celebrate the first full moon of the year, there was a dizzying moment in Busan when an explosion occurred during the burning of a moon house.
Burning a moon house is a game where a moon house made of wood or straw is set on fire to light up the surroundings when the moon rises on the first full moon of the year.
According to Seo-gu, Busan, etc., this explosion occurred at around 6:30 pm on this day during a Daljip burning event at Songdo Beach. It was time for the ignitors to ignite the high-piled moon house. A strong spark flew out from one side in the direction of the ignitor, and the ignitor was startled and ran in the opposite direction.

At that time, the video was also posted on Instagram. Witnesses who saw the explosion showed reactions such as “Isn’t he hurt?” and “It almost caused a big problem.”
About 15,000 people gathered at the event that day, but fortunately, no one was injured. The exact cause of the explosion is not yet known. One witness told Yonhap News, “There was a strong smell of gasoline even before it started,” and “I think that when local governments hold events like this, they should ignite from a distance to prevent safety accidents.”

In the past, a similar accident occurred in Busan at the moment of ignition of the burning house. In 2019, an explosion occurred at Songjeong Beach in Busan while igniting a burning house, injuring three people. It was pointed out that the cause of the accident was that the oil vapor generated from the gasoline sprayed inside the moon house exploded at the moment of ignition.
In 2009, during a silver grass burning event at Hwawangsan Mountain in Changnyeong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, a fire suddenly crossed the fire line and attacked tourists. Seven people died in this accident and about 80 were injured.
On the afternoon of the 24th, the first full moon of the year, children are playing Jwibul using LED light bulbs at the first full moon event held at a hill near Sinjeong Bridge in Anyangcheon, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul. /yunhap news
To prevent such safety accidents and reduce carbon emissions, some local governments are using LEDs to hold moon-burning or Jwi-bul-nori events.
