March 26th 1991 witnessed the first local elections in South Korea for three decades. The country was a hive of activity and five school friends, all boys aged between 9 and 13, decided to take advantage of the day off from school and go on an adventure together. U Cheol Won, Jo Ho-Yeon, Kim Yeong-Gyu, Park Chan-In, and  Kim Jong-Sik set off at 9am and headed towards the wooded slopes of Mount Waryong, which lay just a couple of kilometres from their homes on the western outskirts of Daegu. They never returned home, and so began the mystery of the Frog Boys.
