South Korean reality TV star Kim Jin Young features in Zombiverse

The genre of the zombie apocalypse has been an area of interest in Korean television, with releases like All of Us Are Dead, Train to Busan, #Alive, and Seoul Station all offering their unique spins on it. In the upcoming comedy-thriller series, Kim Jin Young features as a contestant alongside the full cast. They are:

• Lee Si-young
• Park Na-rae
• Noh Hong-chul
• DinDin
• Jonathan and Patricia
• Tsuki
• Yoo Hee-kwan
• Kwachu-hyung / Hong Seong-woo

The contestants are invited to participate in a dating show named Love Hunter when things take a turn, quite like Too Hot to Handle, with the fictionalized city becoming a zombie-ridden wasteland. The participants make their way through quests in unique locations, including suburbs, deserted theme parks, and downtown Seoul.

Kim Jin Young puts his skills as a UDT soldier to practical use in this game of survival but squeezes in moments of laughter as he wrestles an infected crew and plays the harmonica. Fans are banking on his physical strength from his military training, which he previously showcased in the flag match round in Single's Inferno Season 2, to get him past the challenges in the reality show.
