I could see some disappointments in the movie, but overall, I was glued to it. I noticed one comment saying how the plot was all over the place. All I'm gonna say is that I figured out the plot when reading the preview for this movie. The movie did what the preview said. Anyway, good movie. Better than some of the recent horror films that I have seen. Hope America does NOT make a remake and ruin the whole thing.

Love this movie.. some of the musics used are very catchy. other than the white song, one song i found very interesting. the song is played on the movie after Jenny just come back from the grave to give the "white" video cassette. What is that song? I would like to sing it in full.. so catchy..

It's understandable that the film is filled with the concept of Kpop idols and the overlay of horror. However this movie was a huge disappointment. From the beginning to the end, the plot is all over the place, the actors are terrible, and it gets too repetitive in scenes. Honestly, what were the directors thinking?
Maybe the directors were trying to show the dark side of the music industry and the desperation of wanting to become an idol? But other then that, the direction that they chose did not compliment the story itself. Its as if they didn't know where else to go with the film and hastily bullsh*t their way to end. The film is pretty much predictable and cliche.
One advise for people who want to check the movie out, go ahead but prepare to waste your time.

The girl behind the wall watching the girl drink bleach is the main singer from the past band. She didn't care that the girl was sad/depressed and was trying to end her life, hence why the curse happened.

"White" was a highly anticipated film for myself - K-pop meets horror film but also directed by two highly acclaimed indie/experimental film directors - the Kim brothers. With that said by the time movie ended I was pretty disappointed with the lackluster feel of the entire movie.
The horror film aspect was a complete disappointment, while a mystery element developed (what's the secret behind the "White" song & videotape?) seemed to work better & the pop music aspect left me wanting more. More singing and dancing etc.
Main actress Eun Jung (from T-ARA) gave a promising performance & I would like to watch more of her in future titles, but the other performers gave purposefully over-the-top performances which felt unwarranted. The long crinkled hair sported by Hwang Woo Seul Hye was plain disturbing.
A lot of my excitement came from finally watching the two well regarded experimental film directors - Kim Gok & Kim Sun direct something outside of the familiar indie low-budget territory. Surprisingly the Kim brothers didn't leave much of their experimental signature on the film until way later in the movie by which it was to little too late. Prior to the finale - the movie plodded along in typical horror movie aspects with run-of-the-mill scare tactics (sudden blast of shrill music/screams with a closeup of a scary white painted face etc). In hindsight "White" is a big tease with nothing to offer out of the ordinary (subconscious commentary on the K-Pop scene?)- if that was the film directors' ultimate goal then they hit it out of the ballpark, but I sure didn't want to pay 8 bucks to hear that.
