Summary
On a national holiday five kids headed out to play with their friends. Their parents assume they’re out in the neighborhood like any other day. Yet, by the next day, an entire nation is searching for children who seem to have vanished. This is the story of the Frog Boys and of how sometimes a normal day can quickly transform into decades of unanswered questions. The five boys were Woo Cheol-won, Jo Ho-yeon, Kim Young-gyu, Park Chan-in and Kim Jong-sik.
