Gangnam Zombie

South Korea continues to show a strong interest in crafting films with zombie-apocalypse themes. The latest addition to this genre is "Gangnam Zombie," directed by Lee Soo Seong. Featuring Ji Il Joo and the talented Park Ji Yeon, this film, which premiered on January 5, 2023, revolves around the survival struggles of two main characters during a zombie outbreak.

The plot unfolds with two men breaking into a container shipped from China amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Rather than practicing self-isolation, they exploit the deserted city to commit theft. However, their plan takes a horrific turn when one of them is scratched by a cat as soon as the container is opened. This cat, infected with a lethal virus, transforms the man into a zombie.

As the zombie virus rapidly engulfs the city, Hyeon Seok (played by Ji Il Joo) and Min Jeong (portrayed by Park Ji Yeon) miraculously escape the initial chaos. Yet, they find themselves confined in the Gangnam district of Seoul, overwhelmed in pandemonium. So, can they outlast the zombie menace? Gangnam Zombie promises to reveal their fate!
