Train to Busan - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details

Easter Eggs

Shim Eun-kyung Cameo

The actress playing the first zombie on the train is the voice of the runaway girl in the animated prequel Seoul Station, creating a direct narrative link between the two films.

1950s War Parallels

The route from Seoul to Busan mirrors the retreat of the South Korean government during the Korean War. Busan was the only major city not captured by the North Korean army, serving as the last bastion of safety.

Biotech Company Connection

It is revealed that the outbreak originated from a biotech plant that Seok-woo's firm insisted on saving from bankruptcy. This hidden detail makes Seok-woo indirectly responsible for the apocalypse.
