Kapanlagi.com - The popularity of the series ALL OF US ARE DEAD is growing. Many predict that its success will continue after SQUID GAME. This is evidence of the seriousness of talented Korean filmmakers in producing extraordinary works.

Not only does it present a unique storyline, but the promotion carried out by the ALL OF US ARE DEAD team is also very brilliant. One of them is with a vehicle designed like a typical American school bus, but with blood accents and zombie attack scenes. Netflix conducted a unique promotion in Thailand.

However, the question is, how did the idea of a zombie attack in school come about? In a press conference, director Lee Jae Kyoo explained his reasons.

Set in a school, ALL OF US ARE DEAD features high school students from Hyosan as the main characters. Lee Jae Kyoo explains why he was interested in creating a zombie outbreak in a school.

"Until now, films or series about zombies have focused on adults as the main characters. I wanted to present a different perspective by telling the story of high school students who are not yet fully adults and are still learning to socialize," he said.

Interestingly, Lee Jae Kyoo also has other noble goals behind ALL OF US ARE DEAD. He wants to voice the frequent violence that occurs in high school environments, especially in Korea.

"Although it often happens in schools, I think the violence experienced by teenagers can happen anywhere. Bullies indirectly have made this problem like a global virus," he continued.

Lee Jae Kyoo also hopes that people or viewers can grasp every implied message in ALL OF US ARE DEAD.

"Some people may think that this series is only about high school students, but I hope viewers can take every implied message in it. Because, this series is also very relevant to adult life," he concluded.
