Jo Jung-suk Stars in Zombie Comedy “My Daughter Is a Zombie” Coming Out July 30
South Korean actor Jo Jung-suk is returning to the big screen this summer with a new twist on the zombie genre. His upcoming movie, “My Daughter Is a Zombie”, contains comedy, family love, and fantasy, and it’s officially set to hit theaters across South Korea on July 30, 2025.
The film is based on a popular Naver webtoon by Lee Yun-chang and tells the story of Jeong-hwan, a devoted single father played by Jo Jung-suk. His life takes a wild turn when his daughter, Soo-ah (played by rising young actress Choi Yoo-ri), turns into a zombie during a global outbreak. But unlike others, Soo-ah still shows small signs of her old self, she remembers things, reacts emotionally, and still wants to dance. Refusing to give up on her, Jeong-hwan takes her back to their countryside hometown to keep her safe and help her recover in his own way.
Alongside them is Jeong-hwan’s mother, played by veteran actress Lee Jung-eun. As the strict but warm-hearted grandma, she’s ready to do anything to help her granddaughter even if it means hitting her with a traditional back-scratcher when needed. Together, the family embarks on a mission to bring back Soo-ah’s humanity.
The cast also includes Cho Yeo-jeong, who plays Yeon-hwa; Jeong-hwan’s old flame. She strongly believes Soo-ah is no longer human, setting the stage for emotional tension and tough decisions. Other roles are filled by actors like Yoon Kyung-ho and Park Hyo-joo, while even a fluffy cat makes a surprise appearance that has already caught fans’ attention in trailers.
The film stands out for its creative mix of genres.
It has laugh-out-loud moments, heart-tugging scenes, and a unique approach to what it means to be a zombie. The trailer alone features Soo-ah quietly asking her dad, “Can you wait a little longer for me?” This simple line has already left viewers emotional.
Nigerian reality star and actor Adeoluwa Okusaga, also known as Saga, shares that kissing scenes on screen are not something actors actually enjoy.
The actor shared in a recent interview that kissing is usually scripted and often has no real emotion attached to it.
“It is not easy to kiss another actor. It is weird. I have not really had any good onscreen kiss. It is weird having people invade your mouth with saliva.
“It is not something we enjoy. People think we enjoy it, but we don’t. We are just doing it for the story most times. If I had my way, I won’t kiss anyone in a film… There was a day I kissed four different girls on set.”
