Hyosan High School a South Korean high school The school was located at the outskirts of Hyosan near a river. It was well known in Hyosan and had a good reputation. However, this reputation was only maintained by suppressing any reports of bullying within the school. This emboldened the bullies, who would often torment other students in class, as well as blackmailing their victims and threatening them into silence. The situation became so bad that at least two students attempted suicide prior.￼
