Actor Yoon Chan-young of Netflix Korea’s zombie horror series “All of Us Are Dead” tested positive for Covid-19, according to his agency Snowball Entertainment Friday.

“Yoon was confirmed positive after a PCR test,” the agency said.

Yoon has received two doses of a vaccine and is reported to be asymptomatic.

Yoon was invited to appear on JTBC variety show “Men on a Mission” and was scheduled to shoot the episode Thursday, but canceled accordingly after testing positive.

“We are rescheduling the shoot,” producers of the show said. “[The cancellation] will not affect the airing schedule.”

Yoon portrayed a high school student named Lee Chung-san, one of the survivors at Hyosan High School which becomes ground zero for a zombie outbreak in “All of Us Are Dead.”
