Hwang strives for perfection and for him, the beauty is in the details – from the blood around the zombies’ mouths, to the seeds of the resurrection plant stuck on their gums. “However … the zombie unintentionally looked rather comical instead of real.” “There was a zombie that had died in the winter, so we painted the tip of the zombie’s nose and ears black to make it seem like they had frostbite,” said Hwang. He said his team tested many zombie looks and styles many didn’t make the final cut. Naomi Kawase's Olympic film promises to be like nothing you've ever seen before In it, a mysterious “resurrection” plant turns the people of Joseon-era (late 14th - early 20th century) Korea into zombies.

The series premiered in early 2019 and follows a historical narrative, mixing in elements of horror and politics. This special episode, airing July 23 and titled “Kingdom: Ashin of the North,” stars Jun Ji-hyun, one of the country’s best-known actors. Hwang’s latest effects will appear in the next installment of Netflix’s popular South Korean zombie series “Kingdom” – a show he believes launched him and his CELL team to special effects fame. This includes many of South Korea’s most notable films, like the zombies of blockbusters “Train to Busan” and 2020 sequel “Peninsula,” as well as the props and makeup in Bong Joon-ho’s films “Okja” and Oscar-winner “Parasite.” He has worked on the special effects, props and makeup for hundreds of films and television shows.
Hwang is the founder and CEO of Technical ART Studio CELL or “CELL,” South Korea’s leading special effects and makeup company, which he started in 2003.
“The fact that we can get an audience to be convinced by its realism and focus on the story … (that’s) what makes special effects so cool,” he said. The more his audience notices his work, the worse job he’s done. Hwang Hyo-kyun deceives people for a living.
