The actor is well-known for playing the male lead in FOX’s horror drama series “The Walking Dead.”

Yeun made his debut in Korean films through “Like a French Film” (2015), which was helmed by director Shin Yeon-shick.

Recently, he was invited to the 70th Cannes Film Festival for his role in Bong Joon-ho’s sci-fi film “Okja.”

The upcoming event will mark the first time Yeun is officially meeting fans in Korea, six years after a surprise fan meeting hosted by FOX channel.
