* TheStinger: The ending has Soon-ye singing karaoke, mourning the deaths of [[spoiler: Eun-jun and her friends]] by singing in a booth alone. The next song queues up by itself, and on the screen it reads Next Song: "White." The White CD from Eun-jun, which Soon-ye had thrown into the trash, bursts into flame. [[spoiler: Because Soon-ye sang the doubling for Je-ni, it's strongly implied that the curse has come for her.]]

* AesopAmnesia: Eun-ju realizes that the song is cursed, and tries fervently to prevent Pink Dolls from performing it in order to escape a terrible maiming that leads to death. What does she do once the rest of the members are out of the picture and she thinks she broke the curse? Proceeds to take credit for the song, emulates the "White" persona, and becomes an instant sensation overnight, conveniently overlooking the fact that the song has a body count and not making sure she won't be added to it.


Added DiffLines:

* TooDumbToLive: Really, all of Pink Dolls. Eun-ju does everything in her power to convince them the song is cursed, but they refuse to listen and end up paying for it with their lives. Double points for [[spoiler: Eun-ju herself, after ignoring ''everything'' that has happened due to the curse and taking the song as her own anyway]].

Turns out, Jang Ye-bin was the bad guy here, and the curse is still very much alive.
