* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Since zombies don't have a will of their own besides their natural instinct to infect other humans, we have this sorry excuse of one who would throw people under the bus (even if it means getting them infected) just to save his own skin.

* BigBad: While the zombies are [[TheHeavy the main threats in the film]], he's the main human antagonist that's making life much more difficult for the protagonists, throwing people under the bus even to their ''deaths'' just so that he could save himself. It's all too fitting that he eventually becomes the FinalBoss for Seok-woo and co. when he turns into a zombie and fights Seok-Woo in the climax.

* FaceOfAThug: He's disheveled and dirty, but he's one of the kindest characters of the film, and he's quick to take care of others, especially the young Su-an.

* NiceGuy: He's nothing but a good man, even though life has been less than kind to him.

* {{Foil}}: Subtle, but he is one to Young-suk. Both individuals are extremely scared by the situation, but Young-suk is a successful, well-dressed man that uses fear-mongering to order others around, using them as meatshields to protect himself, while the homeless man is a poor stowaway that cooperates with others for the collective well-being. While Young-suk causes the death of several people (directly and indirectly) through his selfishness, the homeless man sacrifices himself to save others and spends his last moments to comfort them.

* {{Determinator}}: After the infection takes hold, he seems to be able to delay it out of sheer willpower just so that he can hold the line a bit longer. He does eventually succumb to it, though.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Although he doesn't technically die, after realizing he has been infected anyway he doesn't flinch, using his last moments of sanity to held back the horde.

* StupidEvil: His selfishness is incredibly short-sighted for the purpose of his own survival. This is best exemplified when he uses the conductor as a human shield to flee from a place where he was relatively safe already. His subsequent escape plan is not very good either, as he decides to leave every door behind him open in a story where doors have been extremely reliable safeguards.

This not to mention how he insists of fortifying the door against the survivors before the one against the infected out of sheer pettiness toward Seok-Woo.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Thanks to his stupid evil above, basically the entire third act could have been much smoother and lead to a higher number of survivor if it wasn't for him (well, and the people obeying him). Had he not directed the rest of the passengers against letting the survivors in, all of them would have made it safely, leaving them with a still fortified door against the infected and the old lady would not have had a reason to let them in, being reunited with her sister. They could also have let the train car later on without alarming the infected, making their transition to the new train much smoother.
