 A man whirls around cans full of holes, through which wood chips and straws blaze, in celebration ahead of "Jeongwol Daeboreum", or Great Full Moon, which is a Korean traditional holiday that celebrates the first full moon of the lunar calendar, at a park in Seoul February 8, 2009. The play is called "Jwibulnori" and people believe that these cans fertilize the fields and eradicate harmful worms to protect the new crops. Koreans celebrate a traditional special event wishing the prosperity of their village and health of their family on the day of the full moon in the first month of the year. [Agencies]
