question: What film type has been around since the early years of Korean cinema and includes Whispering Cooridors as an example?
answer: Korean horror
context: Title: Whispering Corridors (film series)
  Passage: Whispering Corridors (; also known as Ghost School and Ghost School Horror) is a South Korean horror film series.  The series uses an all-girls high school as the backdrop for each of its films and doesn't share a continuing plot.  Every "Whispering Corridors" film features a different plot, characters and settings.  The series is notable for helping generate the explosion of the New Korean Wave cinematic movement, and dealing with taboo topics such as authoritarianism in the harsh South Korean education system, gay relationships and teen suicide, following the liberalization of censorship.
  Title: Korean horror
  Passage: Korean horror films have been around since the early years of Korean cinema, however, it was not until the late 1990s that the genre began to experience a renewal.  Many of the Korean horror films tend to focus on the suffering and the anguish of characters rather than focus on the explicit "blood and guts" aspect of horror.  Korean horror features many of the same motifs, themes, and imagery as Japanese horror.

  Title: Nation and Destiny
  Passage: Nation and Destiny (Chosŏn'gŭl: 민족과 운명 ; MR: "Minjokgwa ummyeong " ) is a 62-part North Korean film series released between 1992 and 2002.  It aims to show that the Korean people "can live a glorious life only in the bosom of the Great Leader and socialist fatherland".  Kim Jong-Il personally chose the title and was extensively involved in the early episodes.  Conceived as the largest film series ever produced in any country, it was the largest investment ever made in the history of North Korean cinema.  Initially, the most senior writers, directors and actors were involved in the project and it was heavily promoted and eulogized by the North Korean media.  The series was projected to reach 100 episodes, but none have been released since 2002.
