South Korean actor Jo Jung-suk has publicly thanked K-pop superstar BoA for allowing her iconic hit song 'No. 1' to be featured in his latest film 'My Daughter Is a Zombie,' which hit theaters nationwide on Wednesday. The movie, distributed by NEW, stars Jo Jung-suk as Jeong-hwan, a father dealing with the shocking transformation of his daughter into a zombie. Rising actress Choi Yu-ri takes on the challenging dual role of playing both the human and zombified versions of his daughter. The film represents a unique blend of family drama and zombie horror, exploring the emotional struggles of a parent who must come to terms with his child's supernatural condition. BoA's contribution of her chart-topping track 'No. 1' adds a nostalgic and emotional layer to the movie's soundtrack, enhancing key scenes that highlight the father-daughter relationship at the heart of the story. The inclusion of the beloved K-pop anthem is expected to resonate strongly with audiences who remember the song's massive popularity during BoA's peak years. Jo Jung-suk, known for his versatility in both comedic and dramatic roles, has been actively promoting the film and expressing his appreciation for the collaborative effort that brought this unconventional story to life. The movie marks another ambitious project in Jo Jung-suk's diverse filmography, as he continues to take on roles that challenge traditional genre boundaries.
