Cho Jung-seok met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 24th and said, "'I feel like I'm a colleague with Lim Yoon-ah, like a family member.'"
「Zombie Daughter」, which will be released on the 30th, is a comic drama about a father of a daughter who has entered top-secret training to protect her daughter, who became the last zombie in the world, and the director of 「Hostle」 took the megaphone. Cho Jung-seok played Jeong-hwan, a stupid daughter who became a zombie daughter trainer.
`Zombie Daughter' is also expected to be a fantastic acting ensemble of actors. Cho Jung-seok "I had so much fun filming. Kyung-ho and Yeo-young are the same age, and Jeong-eun is the oldest among us, but she treated me like a friend. We have a group chat room, and the name is 'Zombie Girls' High School Dongchanghoe'. It feels like high school girls are gathering and chatting. I'm looking forward to promoting it together and saying hello on the stage. They are pleasant and pleasant people when they meet."
In particular, Yoon Kyung-ho and Jo Jung-seok, who were born in the 1980s, have long been close to each other as members of the actor's group 'Palgongsan'. Cho Jung-seok said, "Didn't Kyung-ho recently receive great love from the public for his character 'Anti-Yu-rim' in the 'Severe Trauma Center'?" It's such a nice thing to do," he said. "While I was filming, I told Kyung-ho that many people would like you if "Zombie Daughter" was released." I got that feeling for some reason," he said.Cho Jung-seok will have a box office match this summer with Lim Yoon-ah, who worked with him in 2019 'Exit'. In response, he said "Let's cheer each other up." I know Yoona also gave me a message of support in public, which is a very meaningful competition. In fact, it feels more like a colleague and a family than a competition. Yoona expressed satisfaction, saying, `If you drag me first, I'll push you hard, too.'
He also confessed honestly about meeting with the audience in a comedy genre one after another. Cho Jung-seok "Many people said 'Summer Man', but I think he gave good results as a comedy genre during the tentpole period." However, there is no big concern or worry about genre transformation. Didn't this work naturally appear in front of my eyes. As the person who was the main character of the romance became the father, he took on the role of the father. "I don't just insist on the comedy genre, and I'm so greedy for roles. He also acted as a villain in the recently released 'Weak Hero Class 2'. I will continue to actively work on it in the future," he said.
