Default Bloomery

I recently visited a Korean craftsman who smelts and smiths iron/steel.
He has built what looks like a bloomery, but the iron apparently
actually melts and flows out an opening. According to accounts I've
read, bloomeries always only had/have blooms (German: Lupe), the iron
not reaching melting point. I can't find any-thing about a "bloomery"
with molten metal. Can any-one help?
