 Abandoned Hospital: Jae-han is lured to an abandoned mental hospital, where he finds the body of the supposed kidnapper. He's then clubbed over the head. It is even spookier when Hae-young arrives there 15 years later in response to the mysterious walkie-talkie transmission, and finds the place not only still abandoned but now covered in cobwebs of disuse.
