A | 가정폭력 감찰 조사…징계위 회부되기도실종 신고를 허위 종결한 혐의로 구속된 현직 경찰관이 장미란(37)씨 사건을 허위 종결한 이후 실종자를 발견한 공로로 경찰청장 표창을 받은 것으로 파악돼 논란이 예상된다. 26일 국민의힘 박수민 의원실에 따르면 실종 허위 종결한 제주서부경찰서 부모(34) 경장은 지난 6월 26일 ‘실종 치매 노인 발견 유공’ 사유로 경찰청장 표창을 받았다.

장씨에 대한 실종신고를 허위로 종결한 지 한달여 지난 시점이다. 부 경장은 또 실종수사팀에 근무하던 2025년 9월 자살 기도자를 신속하게 발견한 공로로 경찰서장 표창을 받았다. 같은해 12월 제주경찰청장에게 연말 정기 표창을 받는 등 2020년부터 모두 10건의 상훈을 받은 것으로 파악됐다. 반면 시점은 특정되지 않았으나 부 경장은 가정 폭력으로 감찰 조사를 받아 징계위에 회부된 전력이 있는 것으로 드러났다. 부 경장은 경찰서 여성화장실에 몰래 들어간 혐의로도 조사를 받고 있다. 이러한 전력을 비춰보면 과거 상훈이 부풀려지거나 거짓일 가능성을 의심해 봐야 한다는 지적이 나온다. 앞서 부 경장은 지난 5월15일 ‘장씨가 숙소를 나간 뒤 연락되지 않는다’는 신고를 접수하고 2시간30여분만에 마치 장씨와 연락이 닿은 것처럼 허위 종결했다. 당시 부 경장은 신고자인 장씨의 남자친구에게 ‘장씨와 연락해 무사한 것을 확인했고, 위치 정보를 알리지 말라고 했다’는 취지로 설명하고 관련 기록을 삭제한 것으로 파악됐다. 또 지난달 2일 접수된 60대 남성의 실종 사건을 장씨와 비슷한 방식으로 허위 종결한 혐의를 받고 있다. 부 경장은 사건을 종결하며 실종자 프로파일링(경찰 실종자 관리) 시스템 관리 목록에서 장씨 자료를 삭제했다. 이때 부 경장은 실종자 프로파일링 시스템상 장씨 관련 자료를 삭제하려고 ‘교통사고 사상자’라는 코드를 선택했다. 비슷한 수법으로 허위 종결한 또 다른 실종 사망자 60대 남성의 경우 ‘소재 발견’으로 종결했다. 실종자 프로파일링 시스템에는 변사나 교통사고 사상자 등의 특별한 사유의 유형 코드를 선택해야 시스템 관리목록에서 관련 자료가 삭제된다.。 South Korea has steadily built a reputation for creating some of the most inventive and spine-chilling horror films.

Kim Jee Woon’s gothic psychological horror remains a benchmark for modern Korean cinema. Loosely rooted in an old Joseon-era folktale, the story revolves around two sisters who return from a mental health facility only to encounter escalating tension with their cold and unpredictable stepmother. From its dreamlike cinematography to its suffocating atmosphere, the film invites viewers into a labyrinth of memory, trauma and hallucination. Instead of spelling things out, it asks you to piece together the truth.
2. The Wailing (2016)
If A Tale of Two Sisters is a fairy-tale nightmare, The Wailing is a sprawling supernatural epic disguised as a crime drama. It is set in a quiet mountain village that is plagued by bizarre illnesses and gruesome murders. The film follows an overwhelmed police officer who becomes embroiled in a series of events involving shamans, demons and eerie strangers. Director Na Hong Jin blends spiritual mythology with real world dread. The Wailing isn’t just scary; it is unsettling in a way few films dare to be.
3. Train to Busan (2016)
Zombie films may feel overdone, but Train to Busan revitalises the genre globally. It is set almost entirely aboard a high-speed train, as the story begins with a viral outbreak that transforms commuters into ravenous undead within minutes. What elevates the film isn’t just the tight, breathless action choreography but its emotional core. At its centre is a father trying to reconnect with his young daughter and their evolving bond anchors the chaos around them. The characters are well drawn, the social commentary is sharp, and the pacing is absolutely relentless. It is a perfect example of how Korean filmmakers turn genre films into human stories.
4. I Saw the Devil (2010)
Not for the faint-hearted, as I Saw the Devil blurs the line between horror and thriller. A secret agent embarks on a mission of revenge after his fiancée is murdered by a sadistic serial killer. Now a cat-and-mouse chase begins that becomes a brutal story of vengeance. The film is horrifying because of the killer’s cruelty and the protagonist’s descent into moral corruption. It comes with slick cinematography and Kim Jee Woon manages to keep the audiences hooked with nerve-shredding tension. The violence is graphic and chilling, to say the least.
5. Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum (2018)
This movie explores the lives of a group of young content creators. They visit an abandoned psychiatric hospital to livestream their investigation for views and sponsorship money. At first, it feels like a mischievous reality-TV stunt. It is complete with pranks planned to scare the audience. But once the group begins exploring deeper into the asylum, the pranks give way to very real and very terrifying phenomena. The film’s shaky-cam style makes each moment feel immersive and real. Also, its exploration of the internet culture adds a modern twist to the haunted-asylum trope.
6. Thirst (2009)
Park Chan Wook’s Thirst is a vampire film unlike any other. The reasons being that it is sensual, tragic, darkly funny and unexpectedly philosophical. The story follows a devoted priest who becomes a vampire after volunteering for a medical experiment intended to save lives. The priest is suddenly torn between his religious convictions and his bloodthirsty new instincts. He begins an affair that spirals into guilt, violence and moral decay. As always, Chan Wook's visual flair elevates the film. Also, the movie does not rely on typical vampire cliches clichés. It uses the supernatural to examine human weakness and spiritual conflict.
7. The Host (2006)
Though often labelled a monster movie, The Host is far more sophisticated than that simple description suggests. It is directed by the globally acclaimed Bong Joon Ho. But interestingly, this movie released before Parasite. It follows a dysfunctional but deeply loving family fighting to rescue their daughter from a mutated river creature that rises from Seoul’s Han River. The monster is frightening enough, but what sets the film apart is its blend of horror, political satire and heartfelt family drama. Bong uses the creature as a metaphor for Government failure, environmental negligence and societal indifference. It’s thrilling, funny, emotional and terrifying all at once.
8. The Call (2020)
A more recent addition to the Korean horror canon, The Call combines time-travel elements with psychological horror. The premise centres on two women living decades apart but connected through a mysterious telephone line. It starts as an unusual friendship, but it quickly turns nightmarish when one of the women uses their link to manipulate the timeline. She gives way to her own violent impulses. The film escalates at a breakneck pace. It blends sci-fi, thriller and horror into a uniquely chilling ride. Its unpredictable twists and menacing energy keep viewers on edge until the final seconds.
9. Whispering Corridors (1998)
A landmark in the revival of Korean horror during the late 1990s, Whispering Corridors is set in an elite all-girls school where mysterious deaths spark rumours of ghosts roaming the hallways. While it functions as a supernatural mystery, the film also critiques the pressures and abuses embedded within Korea’s academic system. Its success spawned a long-running anthology franchise, but the original remains the most impactful, thanks to its eerie atmosphere and emotionally charged storytelling. The school setting, with its empty classrooms and locked corridors, becomes a perfect stage for terror.
10. The Piper (2015)
Inspired by the classic legend of the Pied Piper, this folk-horror gem is set in the aftermath of the Korean War. A wandering piper and his son arrive at a remote village plagued by a rat infestation. At first welcomed, he is soon betrayed by the superstitious villagers. It leads to one of the most chilling revenge arcs in Korean horror. It begins as a quiet and almost pastoral drama. Then it slowly transforms into a grotesque and poetic retribution. The film’s unsettling tone, creepy creature design and moral lessons make it a standout for fans of folklore-based horror.One thing is for sure, Korean horror doesn't simply aim to shock. It often reflects deep-rooted cultural anxieties about family expectations, social hierarchy, Government mistrust, colonial trauma, religious conflict and the wounds left by rapid modernisation. Ghosts in Korean cinema are rarely just monsters. They are symbols of unresolved guilt or injustice. Monsters represent societal failures. Revenge stories become meditations on morality. Even zombie films carry emotional weight.Stylistically, K-horror thrives on atmosphere. Directors take their time setting up tension, focusing on mood, character psychology and beautiful-yet-ominous visuals. The result is a mix of artful storytelling and gut-wrenching fear that resonates with global audiences.Also Read: Inspection Bungalow Review: A Quirky Horror Comedy That Fumbles Its Final Stretch。
