History[]
Pre-Apocalypse[]
He first appears while cleaning the science room. He goes to his classroom, leaving Kim Hyeon-ju sleeping without cleaning. Joon-yeong was a student that attended Hyosan High School. He was in class 2-5, friends with Lee Cheong-san, and was working on building a drone in the science club.
Post-Apocalypse[]
He survives the initial outbreak by hiding in his classroom and holding the doors shut, although he does let other survivors in. He was among of survivors who escaped the English room.
While in the broadcasting room, he and Nam On-jo went to the science lab to retrieve a drone where he attached a note in hopes of being able to pilot it somewhere the military could pass by and find it, he then piloted it around school and find Cheong-san and see how the area's state was before leaving the school, though the drone didn't make it far as it stayed near the gate after discovering Ji-min's parents zombified bodies and was later knocked out by a zombie before it ran out of battery. After Nam-ra's plan to rescue Cheong-san from the music room, he and the group slowly walk past by a deaf zombie, he accidentally drops his bottle which makes a loud noise, able to make the zombie turned around and chased after them, including himself. Joon-yeong managed to survive and entered the music room safety with the others.
According to On-jo's idea to escape the music room, Joon-yeong connected the camera and TV to lead zombies with sound in the music room. In this way, there was a lot of activity related to electronic equipment in the middle part. Before opening the rooftop door, he knocked on it and asked if anyone was outside, asking for help. Kim Cheol-soo, who heard the sound, thought about it for a moment, but eventually left alone with the military. However the group were able to make another SOS sign on the rooftops, helped with Joon-yeong.
While on the rooftop, he admitted he was jealous of Choi Nam-ra for having the highest grades in their classroom but due to the situation, he didn't care about it anymore due to the apocalypse, he also likes Dae-su's music and started singing, happily. During the fight against Yoon Gwi-nam, he was thrown to the floor, causing his glasses to break and a scar appeared on his face. When another rescue squad arrives, he walks towards balcony where the soldiers went to get Lee Byeong-chan's laptop, and Dae-su joins him and asks are they gonna kill all the zombies before they get rescued, he tells him that he does not know there only four of them down in the science lab. After the military received an order to cancel the rescue mission last minute, he tells the soldiers who drew their guns at him and his friends, that they are not infected. As the rain starts pouring down, he starts to cry along with the others as he faces up the sky with his eyes closed, feeling that he is in another fine mess he and the others found themselves in.
After escaping from the rooftop during a thunderstorm, unexpectedly, he came across a zombie woman and started beating her with Wu-jin. However when Cheong-san scream tearfully and loud, realized he was beating his zombified mother, quickly stopped. He later joined another survivors group and ran away together to the gym warehouse.
Death[]
The next day, while planning an escape from the gym storage room inspiring from Su-hyeok, Joon-yeong got into a brief argument with Park Mi-jin on how to make the mobile barricades. Ultimately the group voted on his idea, and he vowed to Mi-jin that he would take responsibility for anything that happened, he also told her it would work due the zombies aren't smart enough to climb. When fighting through the horde, he got bitten on his wrist for helping Mi-jin from a zombie trying to climb up. After getting bitten, he sacrificed himself by jumping out and pushing the infected away from the barricade as well as pushing the barricade towards the exit before succumbing to the zombies. After turning while getting devoured, his now-infected body goes through the barricade, leaving Cheong-san not to put him down as he hesitates.
Afterwards, Gwi-nam enters the gym to see his undead body along with the crowd of zombies, being mistaken for Cheong-san, Gwi-nam kicks him in the back. His reanimated body is later seen among the crowd of zombies before being blown up by the missile sent towards Hyosan High School.
Legacy[]
Through Dae-su's flashbacks, Joon-yeong's last moments are briefly seen. Four months later, he was later briefly mentioned by Yang Dae-su, and placed a bag of chocolate bars that he had eaten under the tree. He offers words of consolation and offers to buy him a box next time. His name was likely written by the group survivors on a memorial message.
Physical Appearance[]
Joon-yeong had short dark brown hair in a bowl haircut. He wore the standard Hyosan High School male uniform as well as black rimmed glasses. He wore Pro-spec sneakers similar to Cheong-san's but with gold laces on the sides. When leaving the music room, he wears a black backpack that he subsequently leaves on the roof. He removed his glasses after they’re broken by Gwi-nam which left a scar that was shaped of half his glasses. As a zombie, he's extremely bloody and his clothes are shredded. He can get confused with Jang Do-min for looking similar because of the hairstyle and black rimmed glasses.
Personality[]
Joon-yeong was very studious, intelligent and calm. He revealed that he was jealous and frustrated to always be second in the class after Nam-ra without saying so. After the initial outbreak, Joon-yeong was not the bravest in the group but compensated with intelligence and strategies to allow him and the others to survive. He was also very selfless and willing to sacrifice himself to save his friends. This is shown when, after being bitten, he steps straight out of the circle of protection and tries his best to drag his friends to the exit and remove the zombies from the barricade as a heroic sacrifice.
In Episode 9, Joon-yeong was seen whispering something with closed eyes and clasped hands when the helicopter lowers onto the roof, suggesting he was religious.
