Actor Cho Jung-seok once again captivated the summer theater with the human comedy film 「Zombie Daughter」 (directed by Pilgam-sung and produced by Studio N), proving the name value of 'Summer Man'.

Cho Jung-seok, who was strong in summer movies, once again appeared in the summer theater following 'Exit'pilot', raising expectations early on.

According to the Korea Film Council's integrated computer network for movie theater tickets on the 31st, 'Zombie Daughter' drew 430,000 people on the 30th, the first day of its release, recording the highest opening score among this year's films. In addition, as it ranked first with a real-time reservation rate of 42,2% as of 8 a.m. on the day of its release (30th), attention is being paid to the speed of the box office of Zombie Daughter.

Cho Jung-seok turned into a father, Jeong-hwan, who trained top-secretly for his zombie daughter Su-ah (Choi Yu-ri), who was the last one left in the world in the play. His enthusiastic performance, which delicately expresses his affection for his daughter, who has become a zombie, as well as his unique pleasant energy, was enough to remind him of the modifier 'Trusting Actor'.

As such, Cho Jung-seok became a hit in the summer theater with three consecutive hits, from 'Exit' which attracted 9.42 million people to 'Pilot', which attracted 4.71 million people, to 'Zombie Daughter', which attracted 430,000 viewers on the first day of its release.

On the other hand, a film adaptation of the popular webtoon of the same name by Lee Yun-chang tells the story of his daughter's father, who went into top-secret training to protect her daughter, who became the last zombie in the world. Cho Jung-seok, Lee Jung-eun, Cho Yeo-jeong, Yoon Kyung-ho, and Choi Yu-ri appeared, and director Pil-sung of 'Humanity' took the megaphone.
