Teaching Practice: Idiot Girls and School Ghost 2 (Korean: 교생실습) is a 2025 South Korean comedy horror film written and directed by Kim Min-ha, and starring Han Sun-hwa, Hong Ye-ji, Lee Yeo-reum (WJSN Yeoreum), Lee Hwa-won, and Yoo Seon-ho.[1][2] It is a standalone sequel to the 2024 film Idiot Girls and School Ghost: School Anniversary.[3] The film had its world premiere at the 29th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFAN) on July 5, 2025.[4] It is scheduled to be released theatrically on May 13, 2026.[5][6]
The film blends horror and comedy to reflect on the collapse of teacher authority and public education, as well as the disappearance of Korea’s traditional educational institutions, with a student teacher, played by actress Han Sun-hwa, serving as the central protagonist, who must navigate these challenges to protect her students.[7][8]
Kang Eun-kyung (Han Sun-hwa), who has come for her teaching practicum, encounters members of the Kuroi Sora club, also called the Black Sky black magic Club, who are ranked first in the national mock exams. She discovers that a Japanese samurai ghost named Idainashi (Yoo Seon-ho) has lived for over 400 years and is behind the girls. The ghost feeds on students' souls to maintain its youth in exchange for granting them the ability to excel in exams. To retrieve the souls the ghost has taken, Eun-kyung opens the door to the world of darkness. She must survive a ghostly version of the mock exam, which takes the form of a deadly game, in order to rescue the students who have traded their souls for higher grades.[9][8][10]
