  • Complete Monster:
    • The caretaker of the "House of Happy Children" orphanage is seen in an extensive flashback to be the reason why the three children in the woods, Man-bok, Young-hee and Jung-soon, became so mistrustful of adults and believed them to be evil. The caretaker kept the children in horrible conditions, and was incredibly abusive. He locked away Man-bok’s friend in a dark room to starve along with another boy for spilling food; planned to rape the 7-year-old Jung-soon, and only didn’t because Young-Hee convinced him to rape her instead; beat a boy to death in a sack and caused another boy to starve to death. When the children were caught trying to escape, the caretaker tried to burn Man-bok with flaming piece of wood before getting pushed into the fire himself.
    • Deacon Byun Ji-wan was a pedophilic Serial Killer and religious cult leader before getting lost in the woods along with his wife and finding himself at the childrens' house. Upon his wife’s death, he just chuckles and remarks about how interesting the house is. He’s seen looking through a book filled with photos of his past victims, all of whom were children that he killed and is implied to have raped. After revealing his true nature, he takes Jung-soon hostage at knifepoint before slashing Man-bok’s back in an attempt to kill him. When that doesn’t work, he just tries to kill all three of the kidsnote , believing them to be "Satan’s children."
