zombie

A zombie is a type of scary monster that represents a corpse that has come back to life. It's a character that frequently appears in Halloween parties and horror movies.

Recently, dramas and movies featuring zombies have gained worldwide popularity. Notable examples include Korea's 'Kingdom' and America's 'The Walking Dead'.

The concept of zombies originated from Haitian Voodoo culture, but in modern times, the setting of infection caused by viruses or diseases has become more common. Particularly in games and media, the zombie apocalypse has established itself as a popular theme.

The popularity of zombie content is considered to reflect modern society's anxieties and sense of crisis beyond simple horror. It's often interpreted as a medium that symbolically expresses real-world threats such as epidemics, environmental issues, and social collapse.
