Korean zombie dramas and films

Korean zombie stories, often called K-zombie, became a major screen genre after the film Train to Busan (2016) and spread internationally with series and films such as Kingdom, #Alive and All of Us Are Dead. The Korean Film Archive's Korea Film Museum held an exhibition on the genre, "All of Us are (Not) Zombies: 21st Century K-Zombie Chronicle", in 2022–2023.
