Voice (Hangul: 여고괴담 4: 목소리; RR: Yeogo goedam 4: Moksori; also known as Whispering Corridors 4: Voice and Voice Letter) is a 2005 South Korean horror film, and the fourth installment of the Whispering Corridors film series. This film was the debut film for its three young actresses, as well as director Choi Ik-hwan, who had served as an assistant director on the first film.
It was screened at the 2006 San Francisco Korean American Film Festival.
Young-eon (Kim Ok-bin), the top singer at an all-girls school, is murdered by a music sheet cutting her throat in the opening scene. The next day nobody can see or hear her except her friend Seon-min (Seo Ji-hye) who is able to hear her. After Young-eon convinces Seon-min that it is her voice that can be heard the two attempt to find out what happened to Young-eon. Seon-min begins speculating that the music teacher must have killed Young-eon. The mystery behind her death is slowly unraveled as Young-eon has flashbacks of life before her death.
Seon-min befriends a lonely and strange girl at school named Cho-ah (Cha Ye-ryun), who can hear the voices of the dead, and she helps the two solve the incident. Soon after, the music teacher kills herself. Seon-min begins to doubt what Young-eon says after Cho-ah tells her that ghosts only remember what they want to, revealing that Young-eon's memory may be incorrect. There seems to be another ghost haunting the school, one that the two friends suspect must be Young-eon's murderer. Later, Young-eon's body is found in on top of the elevator ,when a student accidentally drops a cart, the same elevator that a previous student died in.
Young-eon is running out of time to discover who the other ghost is; if her friend forgets about her then she will lose her voice. Some of the flashbacks include her mother, who is shown to be in a hospital. In one flashback, she talks to her mother about how as soon as she is old enough she will learn to drive. Another features how her mother committed suicide by jumping off the top of the hospital. In the end Young-eon is revealed to have driven her mother to suicide. It is also shown that Young-eon might have multiple personality disorder due to the trauma and guilt of encouraging her mother to kill herself. Young-eon ends up bringing tears to her music teacher's eyes when she asks the teacher to sing, leading the latter to contemplate suicide.
