Alkkagi

A variant of Alkkagi appears in Chinese literature as Tanqi (彈棋 or 彈棊), which was played by emperors from the Han to the Tang dynasties.

Comedian Choi Yang-rak broadcast a game of Alkkagi against celebrities on Comedy.com, which made it popular, and competitions for the general public have also been held.

There are also cases where both players' stones fall off together (mutual suicide or self-destruction, non-gaetabeop).

In the TV series, In the Soop: Friendcation, Episode 1, Seojun, V and Peakboy play alkkagi.

The player who goes first is chosen by Rock, Paper, Scissors, and in a final game, Peakboy and V start with just 3 stones.
