The supporting foot is fully flat on the ground, the supporting leg bent and the body slightly lowered. The other foot is lifted and places its inside edge against the inside of the supporting knee, with the knee of the raised leg pointing forward. The weight rests almost entirely on the supporting leg (about 90%), the raised foot serving only for balance (about 10%). It is a one-leg balance stance, a hallmark of the poomsae Keumgang (2nd dan), where it accompanies Keumgang Makgi, and it also serves as a preparation for a Side Kick (Yeop Chagi).
