Anniversary of the Murder of the ‘Frog Boys’
a sad and gruesome mystery
Monday 26th, today, marked the anniversary of the infamous ‘Frog Boys’ who left their homes on the morning of March 26th, 1991 and didn’t return. Indeed, it wasn’t until eleven years later that their bodies were discovered, 2km from home, in a gully on Warayong Mountain, Song-so, Daegu.
For more information on this tragic event, the circumstances of which are still a mystery, see, Five Boys Meet Death Where the Dragon Dwells (Bathhouse Ballads, May 2011).

Dear nick
I have become interested in this case recently and live near woryongsan. I will hike it when the heat dies down. I enjoyed your blog post and found it more informative than korean sites. I would like to discuss with you more about the case when you have some time.
Take care
Adam
