A student committed a suicide in a local high school. However, no one even tried tofigure out why he killed himself. There were not even such rumors that he hadproblems at home, or he was frustrated with his grades. Instead, everyone justseemed to be quiet and try to get through this event as if nothing happened. Evenschool’s internet newspaper, ‘The Voice’, did not actively cover this story. The editors of ‘The Voice’, who were all student reporters, opened a meeting to cover this story, but no one dared to say a word. Young-woo and Min-je, the reporters who were in thesame class with the dead student in the first grade, also did not say a word.

After a few of quiet hours, the leading teacher, Mr. Seo, Yong-hyun, suggested writinga simple story based on the fact itself, but at that time, Young-woo who did not say aword suddenly stood out. He suggested that the suicide of Kim, Chan-O should betreated as more than just a simple story, therefore, ‘The Voice’ decided to deal with this event as a cover story. Mr. Seo was already asked not to make a big deal aboutthis event from the Dean of the school, but he let students accept Young-woo’sthought.

This book shows how the school society is so exclusive, and how differently teacherslead students in their control through various events happening in school after thesecond grade student, Min-je, Young-woo, and Seung-wook participated in cover storyas series articles. The book also describes that how students are isolated from othersin school, where they spend nearly 90% of their time.
