1. What Korean movie has the longest title?
Answer : <Teenage Hooker Became Killing Machine> (Nam Gi-wung, 2000)

This interesting title is in itself a synopsis of the whole movie. A high school girl works as a prostitute in Daehakro, and is murdered by her former homeroom teacher (in charge of biology) where she is brutally chopped to death. Her teacher put his fee for enjoying her body ¡®on his tab¡¯ and decided to call on assassins to eliminate her instead of paying her. But the murdered high school girl is resurrected into a terrible killing machine and gets committed into the SM-6 war zone. One day, the memories of her past life come flooding back to her after she takes a hard blow. So she goes back to the homeroom teacher and the assassins who chopped her to death for a grueling revenge.
