On January 7, Coupang Play dropped the trailer for BLACKPINK’s Jisoo and Park Jeong-min’s upcoming zombie romance series “Newtopia” (previously known as “Influenza”).
So far, many netizens have expressed excitement about the series, finding themselves intrigued by the romance and comedy elements previously missing from Korean zombie movies and dramas.
However, reactions towards the acting skills of BLACKPINK’s Jisoo, particularly in the new trailer, remain mixed.
In particular, topics regarding Jisoo’s acting skills have emerged on Korean forums theqoo and Instiz, with many criticizing the idol-actress’ expression and vocalization. However, some defend Jisoo, explaining that she was probably trying to lean into the comedic aspect of the drama.
Below are some comments from netizens:
- Can’t they do anything about Jisoo’s acting? I really tried to endure her while watching the trailer but it’s obvious at first sight that she can’t act
- The weird acting is so obvious from the trailer
- The person who cast Jisoo shouldn’t get paid
- Expressions aside, can she please practice her pronunciation and vocalization as well?
- It’s a comedy, right? Personally, I feel like her acting is appropriate for comedy
- This is just the trailer, so it’s possible that her actual acting can be better
On the other hand, at the press conference for “Newtopia”, which was held on January 7, Jisoo opened up about the pressure she felt about her acting, saying, “I feel pressured as much as I get attention, but I think it can be a good driving force. I worked hard without hesitation while on set, asking for help and staying resilient.”
The idol-actress also mentioned BLACKPINK, hoping that “Newtopia” will do well to make the members proud.
