5The ''Bongcheon-Dong Ghost'' is a short horror [[KoreanWebtoons Korean Webtoon]] about a nameless girl walking home after a late-night study session who meets a strange woman in the street. It doesn't go very smoothly...

7Based on a "true story" and a Korean urban legend. It was written by HORANG and can be read [[http://comic.naver.com/webtoon/detail.nhn?titleId=350217&no=31&weekday=tue here in English]].

9There exists a 'prequel' ([[http://comic.naver.com/webtoon/detail.nhn?titleId=350217&no=30&weekday=tue here]], also in English) about a boy who has a similar experience with another strange (but completely unrelated) woman. There is also a third [[https://comic.naver.com/webtoon/detail.nhn?titleId=574303&no=50&weekday=mon entry]] in the series, about a girl experiencing a supernatural haunting during a train ride, and a [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/thriller/chiller/knock-knock-horang/viewer?title_no=536&episode_no=21 fourth installment]] about a taxi driver listening to a girl's account regarding a game she played in school.

11!!Tropes:
12
13* CreepyMonotone: From the ghost women.
14* DrivenToSuicide: How the first ghost woman died. In the second, [[spoiler:both man and woman are assumed to have killed themselves, but they were in fact pulled down by a ghostly hand.]]
15* DownerEnding: The second comic ends with [[spoiler:the main character being pulled onto the train tracks by the ghost and getting killed by the train, alongside the "drunk" woman]].
16* FacialHorror: The ghost woman has a distorted face, with blood dripping from her skull. Justified as it's how she died: jumping from her apartment building.
17** The child ghost in the third comic is heavily scarred and bloody, with facial features that make it look inhuman.
18* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: She controls your scroll bar!
19* HappyEnding: The first comic ends with [[spoiler:the schoolgirl taken home by a neighbour who found her fainted in the park.]]
20** [[spoiler:Like in the first comic, the protagonist of the third survives, waking up in a hospital after she is attacked. However, it could also be taken as a DownerEnding, given that the ghost [[WhamShot appears in a patient's room.]]]]
21* TheHeroDies: In the second comic. [[spoiler:People believe that they were lovers who committed suicide together, but further investigation reveals that they were unrelated]].
22* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The protagonist of the second short makes fun of the ghost lady at first, but then starts to feel concerned for her when he sees her [[spoiler:get her head bashed against a wall and then subsequently fall onto the train tracks]].
23* MamaBear: She's just looking for her baby...
24* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: [[spoiler:Turns out the second woman is being brutally beaten by an invisible hand as it struggles to drag her into the tracks.]]

27** [[spoiler:This is fully in effect when the tunnel in the third comic [[KaizoTrap becomes endless.]]]]
28* RedEyesTakeWarning: By the time you see them it's already too late.
29* SlasherSmile: From the ghost woman, when she spots the protagonist.
30* SpookyPhotographs: [[spoiler:The second comic's protagonist is informed by one of his online friends there's a hand smashing the woman's head against the wall. The same hand pops up and presumably does the same thing to the poor guy.]]
31* StringyHairedGhostGirl: The ghost woman in the first comic.
32* TooDumbToLive: The main character of the second comic; see a creepy looking lady moving in a really weird manner? Clearly she must be drunk out of her mind! You should laugh at her with your internet friends!
33* TheUndead: The ghost women. Sort of ghosts, sort of zombies.
34* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: Based on "true personal accounts" and an urban legend.
35* WhamLine: From the first comic: [[spoiler:"SHE WASN'T THERE!" (''cue JumpScare'')]]
36* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: The first ghost lady. She committed suicide after the loss of her baby and walks the afterlife searching for her. Honestly, can you blame her for being royally ticked off when she learns that [[spoiler:her baby wasn't in the area the girl told her about]]?
