Episode Details

There’s a Korean horror movie called Salmokji that completely exploded at the box office. According to Korean media reports, Salmokji shot straight to the top of the Korean box office almost immediately after release, pulling in millions of viewers within just days. The reservoir featured in the story — Salmokji Reservoir in Yesan County, South Chungcheong Province — already had a reputation long before the movie existed. Local residents and fishermen have apparently considered the area haunted for years. There’s even an unwritten rule around the reservoir: don’t stay there past 10 PM. Not because of crime or animals. But because people believe something is there. And tonight… we’re talking about the urban legend that supposedly inspired the film. A story involving a woman driving home late at night, a GPS that tried to lead her into the water, phone calls that shouldn’t have been possible, the missing time, and more. This is the terrifying legend of Salmokji.
