Cho Yi-hyun in the movie All of Us Are Dead
Rising South Korean actress Cho Yi-Hyun is one of the new faces in Netflix’s horror series “All of Us Are Dead.” In the film, a group of students band together to fight their way out of Hyosan High School after a virus outbreak on campus begins turning their classmates into zombies.
The students are trapped without food, cell phone service, adults, and the young students must fight off the zombies on their own in hopes that someone will come to their rescue.
In the show, Cho plays Choi Nam-ra, the class president and “the smartest kid in school.” She is one of the quietest members of the group, often keeping her distance. On a normal day, you might find her with her headphones in and focused on writing notes, but she will need to work with others if she hopes to survive.

While still a student, she appeared in a TV show called “School 2021”, her debut TV show. The show was a new experience for her but another step she had to take to become a better actress. The actress always wore her school uniform with pride.
Speaking to The Korea Herald, Cho said, “I also take pride in wearing school uniforms. I have always enjoyed wearing them since I was in middle and high school. As long as directors choose me to play the lead role in a school drama, I will happily accept the offer and wear another uniform.”
Before the show premiered, Cho posted a series of photos of herself and other cast members from the show. She also posted another photo on Netflix, “@netflixkr.”
In an interview with Soompi, she shared, “I’m not sure if I did well or not, but I worked hard to make sure I have no regrets. It’s an honor to be able to participate in this drama.”

Her parents were always supportive of her dreams when it came time to audition for the school. But when she got there, she felt discouraged because she lacked the skills compared to her peers who had spent more time preparing. She had no skills to dance, act, and sing in front of people.
She added, “There were 40 people in the class, and in the first semester of my first year, I ranked 38th in the practical exams. To be honest, two other students were absent, so among the students who took the exam, I was the last one. After that, I worked hard and got second place in the following exams.”
