Meanwhile, Jiyeon will play the role of Minjung, who is not a fan of human and social injustices. The duo will come and work together as they attempt to get out of the building alive.

Soompi confirmed that the movie would also present Jo Kyung Hoon, Choi Sung Min, Tak Te Un, and Jung Yi Joo. Gangnam’s release date has not been confirmed yet, but it is expected to premiere sometime in 2022.

Jiyeon, Ji Il Joo Will Surely Bring Fresh Zombie Story

By casting Jiyeon and Ji Il Joo, their fans expect a more intense zombie story since both of them already starred in different series and films that honed their skills.

Jiyeon, outside her promotions with T-ARA, debuted as an actress around 2009. So far, she has already collected several titles under her belt, including Dream High 2, Death Bell 2: Blood Camp, Encounter, Triangle, Encounter, and Gnomeo & Juliet.

Ji Il Joo, for his part, famously appeared on Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, Korean Mystery Detective Jung Yak Yong, Hotel King, Dramaworld, Healer, The Royal Gambler, and Find Me in Your Memory, among others.

With those projects they already took, Jiyeon and Ji Il Joo will surely do well in the upcoming zombie film, as well.
