Canon
Prior to the outbreak, Cheong-san and On-jo were close friends. Cheong-san had a crush on On-jo, despite the latter having a crush on Lee Su-hyeok, another close friend of Cheong-san. On-jo was encouraged by her best friend, Yoon I-sak, to ask Cheong-san what Su-hyeok thought of her, but Cheong-san refused to tell her, stating that he and Su-hyeok weren't close. She then walked towards the exit of the cafeteria, which was soon swarmed with students, followed by zombies. Cheong-san and managed to use the windows to escape the cafeteria. After a failed attempt to escape the school, they climbed onto a truck that had crashed into the school. They then entered the first floor corridor, where On-jo used a fire extinguisher to save Cheong-san. They then made it back to their classroom, where they met with other surviving classmates.

Soon after their arrival, their PE teacher, Kang Jin-gu, entered the classroom despite being bitten, and infected one of the survivors, Kim Min-ji, forcing Cheong-san, On-jo and the other survivors to flee to the science lab. However, while the group were on their way to the science lab, I-sak was bitten. When the group reached the science lab, I-sak tried to convince On-jo that Cheong-san had a crush on her, but On-jo claimed that he didn't. She then realised that I-sak had been bitten, and the latter soon began to transform. Cheong-san then tried to pull On-jo away from I-sak before I-sak began to lunge at them, forcing Cheong-san to throw her out of the window. When the group was about to leave for the broadcasting room, On-jo was initially reluctant to leave, but Cheong-san convinced her to come along by telling her that she still needed to stay alive for her father.

Later, after the group had reunited with their teacher, Park Sun-hwa, in the broadcasting room, Lee Na-yeon directly caused the zombification of Cheong-san's best friend, Han Gyeong-su, by applying a hankerchief contaminated with infected blood onto one of Gyeong-su's wounds. Following his death, she tried to pull Cheong-san away from Gyeong-su but he shook her off. After Gyeong-su was thrown out of the window, she consoled Cheong-san, with the both of them having just lost their best friends. They then had a conversation about the his mother, unaware that an infected Gyeong-su had just infected his mother, who had arrived at the school looking for him without telling his father.

While the group was hiding in the broadcasting room, both Cheong-san and Su-hyeok entered the teacher's office by climbing down the windows in order to search for a working phone in order to call for help. However, Cheong-san was separated from Su-hyeok and eventually wound up in the music room. Unaware that Cheong-san was stuck in the music room, On-jo began waiting for him at the window. While she was waiting, Seo Hyeo-ryung and Kim Ji-min began to gossip about whether or not Cheong-san and On-jo were dating. On-jo then retrieved a drone from the science office with the help of Oh Joon-yeong and used to find Cheong-san. After this, she went to the music room and reunited with him. When Nam-ra returned with Su-hyeok from a fight with a Yoon Gwi-nam, by then a halfbie, the group soon realised that she had been bitten and she soon began showing traits of infection. However, On-jo talked Cheong-san out of attacking her by convincing him that Nam-ra would probably become a halfbie instead, as Gwi-nam was not a full zombie.

The group then went to the rooftop in order to catch the attention of rescue helicopters. However, they were unable to access the rooftop as the door to the roof had been locked by another student. Eun-ji then tripped the fire alarms, unlocking all the doors, but the helicopters had already left by then. They then decided to stay on the roof. However, just as they were about to be rescued, the rescuers were given orders to execute the group. They were spared, but left stranded on the roof. While on the roof, Cheong-san confessed to On-jo that he had a crush. When she asked him about who the crush was, he revealed to her that he had been crushing on her since he was six. She then ran off to a corner. When Cheong-san went up to her and asked if she had feelings for him, she asked him to leave her alone and began crying while curled up against the wall.

After it began to rain, the group used the weather to escape the roof. Shortly after running away from the group, they met and grouped together with another group of survivors. They eventually met On-jo's father, Nam So-ju. However, as he aided them in their escape, he was bitten. As he was about to stay behind to buy the group some time to escape, he told Cheong-san to look after On-jo. The group then escaped to a construction site, and began to rest on a ledge. On-jo then began to cry, and Cheong-san hugged and comforted her. However, they were soon attacked by Gwi-nam, who bit Cheong-san's arm before being pushed of the ledge. Despite On-jo's attempts to convince him to remain with the group, he exchanged nametags with On-jo and kissed and hugged her before going off to distract the rest of the zombies in the construction site as well as Gwi-nam, allowing the rest of the group to escape. As a bomb was dropped on the school, Cheong-san grabbed Gwi-nam and jumped down an elevator shaft, using the latter as a shield.

On-jo later returned to the construction site with Nam-ra who used her abilities as a halfbie to try and detect any signs of life, to no avail. Cheong-san's fate is left ambiguous, although he will appear in the show's second season under currently unknown circumstances.
