Hwatu originated from a Japanese card game called 'Hanafuda.' It's characterized by pictures of different plants symbolizing the 12 months of the year.

It often appears in Korean dramas and movies in scenes depicting holiday gatherings or friends playing for fun. Even if you're not actually playing the game, it's an emoji you can use wittily when making fun plans with friends or proposing a special bet.
