EXO member and acclaimed actor Doh Kyung Soo (D.O.) may soon be returning to the small screen in an unconventional new project.
On July 16, 2026, media outlets reported that the star is currently in discussions to play the lead role in the upcoming comedy drama “We Are the Zombie” (literal title).
Agency Clarification and Project Overview
Following initial reports regarding his casting, Doh Kyung Soo’s agency, Blitzway Entertainment, issued an official statement confirming that the actor is actively considering the opportunity:
“It is one of the projects he is reviewing.”
Adapted from a popular webtoon, “We Are the Zombie” offers a fresh, humanizing spin on the traditional zombie survival genre.
Rather than focusing primarily on intense, life-or-death battles against infected hordes, the narrative takes place inside a massive shopping mall that has been completely sealed off due to an unidentified virus outbreak.
The story follows the daily lives, developing relationships, emotional recovery, and lingering hope of the survivors who are trapped inside the same confined space together.
Character Details and Recent Career Highlights
Should he accept the offer, Doh Kyung Soo will portray the main character Kim In Jong.
The plot follows Kim In Jong as he becomes unexpectedly caught up in the mall lockdown during a visit with his friends.
Having worked various part-time jobs just to make ends meet, In Jong is a relatable young man who thoroughly dislikes anything troublesome, yet possesses a warm, unexpected charm and deeply human qualities.
Doh Kyung Soo’s potential casting highlights his impressive range across diverse genres and mediums:
- Versatile Acting Spectrum: He recently amazed audiences by portraying the chilling villain Ahn Yo Han in the Disney+ original series “The Manipulated.” His broad drama portfolio also includes memorable lead roles in “100 Days My Prince,” “It’s Okay, That’s Love,” and “Bad Prosecutor.”
- Variety & Solo Music Activities: Beyond his acting projects, Doh Kyung Soo is currently featured on tvN’s new variety program “GBRB: Farm Operation.” Additionally, he previously announced plans to release a new solo music album in August 2026.
With its blend of relatable humor and emotional depth, “We Are the Zombie” promises to showcase another compelling transformation for Doh Kyung Soo if his casting is finalized.
