Doh Kyung Soo Eyes a Zombie Comeback: Inside the Reported We Are the Zombie Casting

Zombies are usually the enemy — but in Doh Kyung Soo’s reportedly upcoming drama, survival looks a lot quieter than expected. Reports suggest the actor is now reviewing a role in a webtoon-based series that trades the usual chase-and-scream horror for something far more human.

Doh Kyung Soo’s Zombie Drama: Details

What Doh Kyung Soo’s Drama Is About

According to a July 16 report from Sports DongA, Doh Kyung Soo is considering the lead role in We Are the Zombie. A source from his agency, Blitzway Entertainment, confirmed to Newsen that the project is one he’s currently reviewing — meaning nothing is locked in just yet.

Based on a webtoon, the drama is set inside a large shopping mall that’s been sealed off after an unknown virus outbreak. Rather than leaning into typical zombie-horror survival tropes, the story instead focuses on the everyday lives of those trapped inside, exploring themes of recovery and hope rather than combat.

The Character He May Play

Doh Kyung Soo is reportedly set to play Kim In Jong, a man who ends up caught in the outbreak after visiting the mall with friends. Described as someone who’s worked all kinds of odd jobs to get by and generally avoids anything that feels like a hassle, Kim In Jong is said to carry an unexpectedly warm charm despite his reluctant attitude — a role that could offer a nice contrast to his most recent work.

What He’s Been Up To

Doh Kyung Soo recently impressed audiences as the villainous Ahn Yo Han in the Disney+ original The Manipulated. He’s also currently appearing on tvN’s variety show GBRB: Farm Operation, and confirmed back in June that he’ll be making a solo comeback in August — making this a particularly busy stretch for the actor.
