Synopsis :
Whispering Corridors is set in a fairly typical all-female high school in Korea, called Jookran Girls High School, and the story begins on the night before the first day of the new school year. A female teacher called Mrs. Park (better known by her unaffectionate nickname ‘Old Fox’ on account of her nasty behavior and treatment of the students), has discovered something mysterious and weird concerning a late pupil of the school called Jin-ju. Jin-ju had committed suicide in the school’s art rooms nine years previously, and her ghost was said to haunt the art rooms which had been closed up after the incident.
She tries to call her new colleague, Heo Eun-young, who is a former student of the school and Jin-ju’s best friend, to tell her what she has found out, saying “…Jin-ju is definitely dead… but she’s still attending school!” However, before she can explain about her discovery, she is attacked and murdered, and left hanging in the schoolyard.
The first people to make this gruesome discovery the next day are three girls just beginning their senior year: a timid outsider called Young Jae-yi and a confident, talented young artist, Im Ji-oh, who are the new class monitors and therefore obliged to carry out early-morning classroom cleaning before school; and a weird, sullen, deeply unpopular girl, Kim Jung-sook, who the other girls believe has been possessed by the fabled spirit of Jin-ju.
All the girls are of course shocked and upset to make this horrible discovery; it upsets Ji-oh so much that she feels the need to paint a portrait of Mrs. Park’s death, to try to get the disturbing image out of her head cathartically through her art. However, the girls are told to hush up the incident as much as possible so that the press and school inspectors don’t begin to research the school’s affairs – especially since violence and psychological/physical abuse are pretty commonplace in this particular school.
