That happens a lot even in Hollywood films and non English language shows. They can't create tension with a SWAT team or a pack of police officers so they always choose to have one character flying solo and being too brave.

It's plausible for some of these small towns that it could happen but it's a trope that will never change in horrors and thrillers

I agree, I didn't find it necessarily a deal breaker, and I liked the story.

but those couple of parts... I remember thinking to myself "yeah, OK, sure, he is going to just go back there alone"

but I thought similar as you, maybe that's how a small Korean village operates. and really most all horror requires you to "suspend some disbelief".
