, a high school-set zombie series based on a Naver webtoon, and the action choreographers fromNot only does Korea have expertise in zombie special effects make-up, Moon explains, it now has a whole army of actors and action choreographers with experience in the ways that zombies move. “In addition to the films and series, there are also K-pop videos that are zombie-themed, so you could say we have some actors who are becoming zombie specialists,” says Moon.
That level of experience also made it easier to keep both the contestants and zombie actors safe. “If somebody pushes or shoves the zombie actors, they know how to deal with that, but of course there are some scenes that are more violent that were put together using special choreography and stunt actors,” explains Park. “We wanted to blur the line between scenes that are choreographed and those that are real, so we used a lot of editing techniques to keep everything looking natural.
Park says they didn’t have to apply for shooting permits or lock down busy Seoul streets, as the challenges take place in locations including a gas station, supermarket and funeral home that they were able to rent from private owners. The concept of the show is that the contestants are escaping from Seoul, not running into it, he adds, so many scenes were filmed in quiet outskirts and at an isolated rural village.
The opening scene was filmed for real in Hongdae, usually one of Seoul’s busiest nightlife districts, but Park explains that it was raining hard on the day of the shoot so there were less people around than usual. “We thought we might have to apply for a shooting permit, but there are so many YouTubers filming in Hongdae that it’s become a kind of free-for all so we didn’t need to get permissions or lock anything down.
When asked if this kind of format could be replicated in other countries, Park and Moon turn to each other and laugh. “It may be difficult – few countries have Korea’s level of experience with zombies,” says Park grinning. “Maybe one way out would be to build everything in a studio or lock down a huge location. But it’s not the kind of thing you can shoot guerrilla style on the streets of New York.
