BLACKPINK's Jisoo and Park Jung Min's Heart-Wrenching Breakup Just Before a Zombie Apocalypse in "Newtopia"
Get ready for the ultimate blend of romance and horror as Coupang Play's eagerly awaited drama "Newtopia" releases a stunning new poster and teaser that has fans buzzing!
The gripping narrative centers around Jae Yoon, portrayed by the talented Park Jung Min, who finds himself battling for survival in a undead-ridden Seoul while serving in the military. His girlfriend, Young Joo, played by BLACKPINK's own Jisoo, is also caught in the chaos as they attempt to navigate the treacherous landscape to find each other, half a world apart.
The newly unveiled poster is nothing short of eye-catching, featuring vibrant illustrations of eclectic characters amidst the frenzy of a zombie outbreak. Set against a bright pink backdrop, the poster depicts a devastating scene in downtown Seoul, where waves of the undead are unleashed, instantly capturing the chilling essence of the show.
As our heroes navigate this nightmare, their paths converge in an emotional reunion that promises to leave viewers on the edge of their seats. Armed with bizarre yet inventive weapons—from a scraper to a chainsaw—the duo showcases creativity in their fight against the relentless zombie horde.
Moreover, the teaser introduces a lineup of characters that enrich the story, including Jae Yoon's comrades—Private Ra In Ho (Im Sung Jae) and Aaron Park (Kim Jun Han), as well as Young Joo's allies, a diverse group that includes a gaming mogul and an ambitious young student facing college entrance exams for the third time. This eclectic cast heightens the anticipation as their individual backstories intertwine with the main plot.
In a compelling twist, the trailer reveals that on the very day Jae Yoon and Young Joo decide to break up, a horrifying zombie virus ravages humanity. The chaos ensues as zombies invade Young Joo’s car, while Jae Yoon’s military base comes under siege. Contrary to the grim circumstances, the couple’s determination to reconnect serves as a beacon of hope.
Expect breathtaking action sequences set in iconic locations around Seoul, including a high-rise tower and the bustling streets of Gangnam. As they contend with menacing zombies, each character's unique fighting style—from unleashing fireballs to wielding golf clubs—brings an electric energy to the show that fans won't want to miss.
The diverse soundtrack, oscillating between somber and whimsical classical notes, ramps up the dramatic tension. With quirky visual effects—like popping eyeballs and eye-catching "zombie" graphics—the teaser promises a wild ride full of unexpected twists that challenge the characters at every turn.
"Newtopia" is slated to premiere on February 7 at 8 p.m. KST, and fans are already marking their calendars!
