Hi, everyone.

I'm Lee Su-yeon from Sangrim High.

I handle design and PR for our ghost club, "Ghosts Among Us."

We announced in the community that we'd be going live today.

Thank you for all the interest. It's more than we expected.

For those who don't know our club or are watching for the first time,

let me explain again.

Today, we're heading to Mount Yeondong.

We chose it because many people say they went and found nothing,

and there's a lot of debate over whether it's really haunted.

You all know we developed an app that can see ghosts, right?

Still, many of you think it's fake, a lie, total nonsense,

but today, we're going to prove it.

We'll summon the spirits by holding a memorial rite,

then capture them with this app

and show them to you.

But from here on, stray spirits might latch onto us,

which can be dangerous, so we'll act with reverence.

We'll go live again tonight.

See you soon.

Hey, there's something over there too.

Gapjin year, Gapsul month, Jeongmi day: we, Park Dong-ju and three others,

humbly beseech all the gods of Mount Yeondong.

Though we know not what binds you to this place,

please accept the offerings we have humbly prepared,

release your grievances and sorrow,

and may you rest in paradise.

Hey, Park Yeong-jae!

Where are you going?

Hey, I said where are you going?!

Yeong-jae!

Park Yeong-jae!

Hey, what are you doing?

I can see everything now.

What?

Dong-ju?

Get out, now!

Sleep well?

Why do I feel so great today?

But seriously, we need good sleep.

That's the only way to last in this job.

Shit, you scared me!

What are you, a ghost?

Hey, you didn't sleep again?

Up watching pointless YouTube videos again?

What was I thinking, training someone like you to work with me?

It's not that I didn't sleep. I couldn't.

Seon-yeong, say an app you don't know suddenly installs itself on your phone.

Would you open it or not?

I'd open it, no question.

I'd be dying to know what it is.

Really? Isn't that kind of scary?

Who knows what could happen?

Here, look in the mirror. Your face is the scariest thing right now.

I'm being serious!

No, see, last night I actually got into bed early to sleep.

I was going to watch one last Short before bed,

and suddenly this livestream popped up.

These kids who developed a ghost app had gone up a mountain to test it.

But the problem is, after I watched it, this weird app got installed on my phone.

And I know for sure I deleted it, but it was back.

No matter how many times I delete it, it keeps coming back.

Really?

Yeah.

Hey, try opening it.

Now this is interesting.

No, wait. Why don't we try it later, at the site?

Let's try it there.

You nuts?

We don't even know what it is!

It's already creeping me out.

Well, lucky you, though,

that you noticed it installed itself.

If it won't delete,

you'll have to factory-reset your phone.

I guess so.

This is so annoying.

Seon-yeong,

have you ever seen a ghost?

Out of nowhere?

In this job,

lots of people say they've seen ghosts,

and there are tons of creepy stories.

I see them all the time.

Today at the site, too,

we'll probably see one.

Come on, stop messing with me.

I'm seriously scared.

Hey.

Open that thing up there.

This? Why?

Your face is the scariest thing right now.

I said stop it.

Come on, there's no such thing.

If I'd ever seen a ghost,

would I still be doing this job?

This is really scaring me to death.

Think about it. If it were you,

would you want people to know someone died here?

You'd want it kept quiet, right?

And another thing. Say what you want elsewhere,

but at a scene, don't go around saying you're "scared to death."

Or a ghost might latch onto you.

Oh, let's try that app we talked about earlier.

There might really be a ghost here.

I'd forgotten all about it.

Hey, with this much blood, it's got to be over two liters.

For now, the most likely cause of death is massive blood loss.

And there are bloody handprints on the wall and the desk.

This is where it started.

And the blood trail runs all the way to the chair.

Judging by how the spatter spread,

the first blow landed...

Around the head?

So the attacker was about the victim's height, or slightly...

Hey, are you okay?

See? I told you to get a good night's sleep.

Want to step out for a bit?

No, I'm fine.

I'll go down.

Okay.

Then let me

spray some magic smoke for you.

Did you take the blood-stain remover that was here?

Seon-yeong!

Where are you?

Seon-yeong?

Stop messing around.

I'm getting really mad.

Turn the lights on!

Hey, hey, it's me! Gotcha, didn't I?

Apparently they sometimes cut the power like this in the middle of the night.

What the... Why'd you come out of there?

This wall opens? What the hell, that's so cool.

What? Why are you so jumpy?

Why do the lights have to go out now? I'm stressed out enough as it is.

Isn't this all because you didn't sleep?

I keep telling you, we need our sleep.

Ugh, enough with the sleep talk.

Give it a rest for once.

See? You're this touchy because you don't sleep.

Wait, who was that man who just left?

What?

The one who just went out.

I said, who just walked out?

You're scaring me.

It's just us two. What are you talking about?

Seriously, quit joking. A man just walked out!

See?

Didn't I tell you to get some sleep?

You can't last in this job without sleep.

Please, just stop. Enough with the sleep talk!

Fine. Maybe he works here and came by for something urgent.

Please, stop joking around. It's not funny.

Okay. Let's finish this quickly and get out of here.

Let's go, okay?

Please, just get some sleep next time.

Who's supposedly here? Enough with the ghost-app nonsense. Unbelievable.

You're wearing me out, seriously...

Hey, what's wrong with you?

Are you okay?

Ugh... you really are too much.

Seon-yeong, I'm over here.

Seon-yeong?

Who's there?

The phone you are calling is switched off.

You will be connected to voicemail after the beep.

The number you have dialed is busy.

Seon-yeong?

Seon-yeong!

Geez, Seon-yeong!

Why are you just standing there like that?

I'm sorry I got mad earlier.

Because of that app,

I guess I got too on edge.

Hey! You son of a bitch!

I told you to be careful!

Na-yeon.

You...

You took my phone, didn't you?

Hey, where are you?

Is something wrong? Why aren't you coming?

We need to wrap this up quickly.

We're out of time.

Seon-yeong?

Where are you right now?

What do you mean, where am I?

What's with you today?

Hurry up.

Hello?

Seon-yeong...

This is the last time I do what you say.

Fine, I promised, didn't I?

That once you go there and come back, I'll give you anything you want.

Who on earth is in Goseong that you keep pushing me to go?

Well... someone I know lives there,

and they want to give you career advice.

Ugh, I told you to stop doing this. I hate seeing it.

I gave you plenty of spending money.

Just this once,

okay? Have a safe trip, sweetheart.

Seat number 20.

Excuse me, young lady?

Yes?

Would you mind switching seats with me?

Why?

I just want to sit there.

I'd rather not.

Hello? Are you on your way?

Yeah.

Dude, I think my mom's finally lost it.

She's sending me to Goseong for college counseling.

Hey, be nicer to your mom.

Where else would you find a mom that nice?

Dude.

She's only like that around you guys.

Every time she doesn't get her way, she hurts herself. It drives me insane.

Anyway, have a safe trip.

Hey.

Something really fucking weird just happened.

What?

Some woman keeps asking me to switch seats with her.

There are plenty of other seats.

What? That's so creepy.

I know, right?

And it's just the two of us on this bus. What do I do?

Just the two of you?

Huh?

Weren't you sitting with a friend?

What are you talking about?

It was noisy, so I thought you had a friend with you.

Wasn't that just the bus?

No.

It wasn't the bus.

It sounded kind of like laughter.

No, you must have heard wrong.

Oh, really? Anyway, be careful and text me.

Yeah, okay.

You want to switch seats with me again?

Hello?

Are you on your way? Where are you?

How would I know? I was asleep.

Really? Anyway, you're okay, right?

Yeah.

Mom...

There's a weird person on the bus.

What kind of person?

Some crazy woman. She keeps asking me to switch seats.

A stranger?

Yeah.

You're the one who made me go to Goseong for nothing.

Did you tell the driver?

And say what?

That she asked to switch seats?

Ugh, what am I supposed to do?

Well then, Jin-seo...

why don't you just switch seats with her?

What?

All she wants is to switch seats.

Mom, come on.

I just told you I'm scared!

I'm going to Goseong because you made me,

and now I'm scared to death,

and that's all you have to say to me?

Then what do you want me to do?

Should I talk to him for you?

I swear, once I'm back from Goseong, I'm moving out.

If I keep living with you, I'm going to suffocate.

We depart at twenty past.

Come here.

I'm really sorry, but

could you ask your parents, just once,

to come pick me up here?

Sure.

All right.

What on earth

is this about?

Why are you doing this?

Why do you keep...

Just follow me.

Young lady.

May I...

...sit...

...here?

Seat number 37.

Seat number 38.

Seat number 35.

Seat number 31.

Jin-seo?

Mom?

Did it work?

It's hard to tell just by looking...

It worked just fine.

Mom.

Let's go.

Okay, my girl.

Hey, Neta, we need to fix the handle.

Right.

All done?

Of course. All done.

Oh, nice work.

Boss.

Are these all phones?

Oh, these?

Crime-scene cleaners collected them from dead people.

Dead people?

People with no next of kin.

Those bastards.

Still, handing over dead people's phones just like that...

Seriously, what bastards.

Neta, today start with the ones going to Russia.

Yes, boss.

I'm heading out early.

My son's birthday.

Happy birthday to him.

Take care.

Neta.

You haven't touched my computer, right?

Me?

Never look at it. Ever.

Yes, boss.

Finish up before you go.

Bye!

Okay.

Psycho.

What?

No.

You're filming, aren't you?

Filming what?

You film all the time.

Here we go again.

I said I'm not filming!

What are you looking for?

Where's your phone?

Stop being paranoid. You think I'm a psycho?

Some kind of pervert?

Hey, move.

Why my phone?

Move!

Why do you want my phone?

I said move!

You filmed me in secret again!

Okay, okay.

Just move!

Seriously...

Hey.

You said you weren't filming.

Delete it right in front of me!

Delete what?!

Let go of it now!

Boss?

Nam-gyu?

Careful.

The water seems a little hot.

Excuse me?

Just a moment.

Jin-ju! Help me!

Get me out! Get me out!

Wow, I'm exhausted.

Is it just me?

I'm a little tired today too.

Right?

Who's on duty tonight?

Oh, that's me.

Oh, you, Jin-ju?

Oh dear, this must be so hard for you.

How's your mother doing?

Is she all right?

Yes.

Hang in there, Jin-ju.

That's right, Jin-ju. It'll all work out.

Try not to worry too much, okay?

Okay.

Mom, come on.

Do you know what time it is?

Just close your eyes for a moment and try to calm down.

Why are you doing this?

Okay.

Just wait. I'll be right there.

Yeah.

Um...

Something came up at home,

so I'll be back shortly.

Like last time, I'll call your phone

and keep listening through my earphones,

so if you feel unwell, make a sound right away.

I'll be right back.

I'm sorry.

You thought I'd just let you be?

I begged you to spare me!

I begged you not to kill me! You heard me!

Do you know me?

You don't know me.

Why did you do that to me? Why?!

I'm losing my mind...

I'm going to kill you!

I'm going to kill you all!

It's done.

Hey, this is a dream.

You think this is going to kill me?

Huh?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Just die already!

Damn it.

That's weird. Huh?

Just go.

But you're dead.

Yeah, I'm back.

Oh, you know how it is.

Hey, sorry to ask, but

could you look after my mom for me?

Sure.

Just a moment.

Hang up a sec.

Min-jun...

Are you all right?

Min-jun!

Min-jun!

You little bastards... Now we just take it out.

Where does this one go?

I'll sort it out. Just put it over here.

Okay, okay.

Careful, careful.

What is it, Mom? I'm unpacking.

How's the neighborhood? Should I come see it?

The neighborhood? It's quiet. Perfect for living alone.

But I never got to see the place.

I told you not to worry.

Isn't a quiet area actually more dangerous?

Dangerous how?

Always lock your door tight,

and don't go wandering around late at night.

There are CCTV cameras in every alley these days. I'll be fine.

Besides, I'll just hurry home.

You said it's an old house, right?

Water pressure? Heating?

You should have asked about that beforehand.

If anything's wrong, don't put up with it. Tell the landlord, okay?

Mom, you can't find a place in this area at this price.

And it's cleaner than I expected.

Still, you need to check everything carefully.

Maybe I should just come up tomorrow.

No need.

Oh, my little girl's all grown up.

Mom, someone's here. I'll call you back later.

Love you, sweetie.

Okay.

Miss, we're all done. You didn't have much stuff, huh?

Oh, thank you for all your hard work.

Thank you so much.

Oh, by the way, you should tell the landlord to get this fixed, see?

The window bars.

What's wrong with them?

They're flimsy. That's not safe.

What's not safe about them?

Oh, okay. Thank you.

What's wrong with this thing?

I smell something...

You're the landlord, right, sir?

We met when I signed the lease. Hello.

Well, well.

Just came to get a look at the new girl downstairs.

Oh, yes.

Sorry, I was so busy moving in yesterday.

Everything all right with the place?

The sensor light doesn't really work.

What's that?

The sensor light, sir.

Sense...?

And the window bars...

Sorry, sir,

I have to head to work now.

I'll tell you about it later.

Thank you.

Damn it.

Dude, weird Chinese characters written on the window,

a crazy old landlord...

Isn't that a fucking haunted house?

Shut up.

I'm too tired for jokes.

Ugh, it is kind of funny, though.

Working late every day scares me more than ghosts.

Hey, talk to your landlord. Now.

Get him to fix things.

Looks like he's stalling to get out of it.

Ugh, I just can't bring myself to.

So tell him, then!

Want me to tell him?

Hang on. I'll call you back.

Okay.

Damn...

Sir?

Sir, it's me from downstairs.

The light went out.

Sir?
