Jo Jung-seok, who led the box office with ‘Pilot’ last summer, will return this summer with ‘Zombie Daughter’.’Zombie Daughter’, based on a popular Naver webtoon, has confirmed its release in July and has released a launch poster, raising expectations.

‘Zombie Daughter’ is a comic film about a doting father who embarks on top-secret training to protect his daughter who has become the world’s last remaining zombie.

The recently revealed launching poster captures the attention of a father and daughter who at first glance seem affectionate but somehow suspicious.The desperate expression of father Jung-hwan(Jo Jung-seok)trying desperately to hide his daughter Soo-ah’s(Choi Yu-ri)face while looking very nervous arouses curiosity, while Soo-ah’s bloodshot eyes gleaming through the gap in her tightly-fastened hood hint that she is no ordinary daughter.The sarcastic copy, “My child doesn’t bite,” makes people laugh, while also stimulating curiosity about whether father Jung-hwan’s special training to tame his zombie daughter, who is scarier than a tiger and more difficult than puberty, will be successful.

‘Zombie Daughter’ is a film adaptation of the webtoon ‘Zombie Daughter’ by Lee Yoon-chang, and the casting news alone has already created a lot of buzz.Starting with the trustworthy Jo Jung-seok, who has been in charge of the summer theater district by giving audiences refreshing laughter in the films ‘Exit’ and ‘Pilot’, Lee Jung-eun, who has shown her unrivaled presence in every work from the film ‘Parasite’ to the recent drama ‘More Beautiful than Heaven’, Jo Yeo-jeong, a passionate actress who has repeatedly taken on unconventional challenges such as ‘Obsessed’, ‘Parasite’, and ‘Hidden Face’, and Yoon Kyung-ho, who has been active as a scene stealer in numerous works and recently showed off his irreplaceable charm in ‘Severe Trauma Center’, have joined forces to complete the lineup with 100% character synchronization.Choi Yu-ri, who made a splash as the child version of Kim Tae-ri in the ‘Alien+Human’ series, has also joined the cast, and together with Jo Jung-seok, they will show off a special father-daughter chemistry that has never been seen before.
