A Blood Pledge (Hangul: 여고괴담 5: 동반자살; RR: Yeogogoedam 5: dongbandjasal; also known as Whispering Corridors 5: A Blood Pledge and Suicide Pact) is a K-Horror film, and the fifth installment of the Whispering Corridors series of South Korean horror films set in girls' high schools that began with 1998's film of the same name. Aside from the setting and overall themes, it is unrelated to the other films in the series.
The story begins with the pledge; Eon-Joo, So-Hee, Yoo-jin and Eun-young pledge that they will die together that night and that if for some reason they didn't then they would still keep their pledge to die. Eun-Joo jumps from the roof of her Catholic school, committing suicide and falling to her death. Her sister Jeong-Eon, waiting for her outside, sees her jump. The next day in the school office; Jeong-Eon, So-Hee, Yoo-jin, and Eun-Young all swear that they all left for a while, and that Eon-Joo wandered off to go to the restroom then jumped off the roof. So-Hee admits that she was on the roof when Eon-Joo jumped.
The three girls become very paranoid about the death of Eon-Joo, and secrets about why each girl had a reason to jump start to surface. So-Hee becomes very depressed about the death, unlike the other two. During the funeral of Eon-Joo, So-Hee leaves crying. Jeong-Eon catches So-Hee before she leaves and confronts her about the death of Eon-Joo but So-Hee repeats that she doesn't know what happened and leaves.
Meanwhile, rumors start to spread around the school. Many girls accuse So-Hee of killing Eon-Joo as their relationship had become strained from the past year. Another girl claims that Eon-Joo killed herself because she was pregnant. The three girls meet in a corner of the school, each accusing the others of spreading the rumours, but they all deny it. Eun-young screams, claiming that she saw someone watching them. That evening Eun-young is lying awake in bed terrified, and her father comes in and beats her for having low grades. The next day she attends school with an eye patch over her left eye and begs Yoo-jin to let her sleep at her home.
So-Hee has flashbacks of the time when she was friends with Eon-Joo, before she became friends with Yoo-jin and Eun-young, and feels guilty. She goes to Eon-joo's classroom to pray but is confronted by Joo-yeon, who tells her that because she pushed Eon-joo away she was to blame for her death. So-Hee leaves and while Joo-Yeong keeps rambling about it to herself, Eon-Joo appears behind her and kills her. When So-Hee gets back, she sees nothing but the window open.
