Jisoo is all set to return to acting with the upcoming zombie K-drama Influenza. Korean zombie titles like Train to Busan and the recent All of Us Are Dead tend to garner significant buzz. Jisoo’s involvement in the show has generated all the more excitement. Fans are curious about the rest of the cast, including Park Jung-min, although his role is still unconfirmed.
Influenza is a gripping story that begins with a strange flu outbreak, causing people to turn into zombies. Set in a bustling Seoul tower, the plot follows Lee Jae-yoon, who is serving in the defence unit, and his girlfriend Kang Young-joo (played by Jisoo). As the sickness spreads, chaos ensues within the building as infected individuals transform into zombies.
Amidst the zombie threat, Jae-yoon and his colleagues find themselves in a desperate situation. They must protect themselves and others as the number of zombies in the building continues to grow. In a twist of fate, Jae-yoon and Young-joo unexpectedly reunite while facing the relentless horde of the undead.
Influenza marks Jisoo’s second K-drama project after Snow Drop, and she has expressed that her role in the series is very challenging.
Jisoo has mentioned that she will undergo training to handle the action scenes in Influenza. The series is expected to stand out due to its storyline and the involvement of screenwriter Han Jin-won, renowned for his work on the critically acclaimed film Parasite. Han Jin-won, along with director Bong Joon-ho, made history as the first Asian storytellers to win an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay at the 92nd Academy Awards in 2020.
