“We moved out of our dorm when we saw a ghost there. The day before T-ara’s debut, I felt as if something was pressing down on my body while I was sleeping. I tried my best to break out of the paralysis state, and when I finally did, I went over to Soyeon and told her about it. She told me that she encountered the same ghost at the exact spot where I had seen it.”

I gathered my courage and opened the door, but no one was there.”
