On the morning of Jan 7th, the press conference for Coupang Play’s series “Newtopia” was held at the Conrad Seoul Grand Ballroom in Yeouido, Seoul.
“Newtopia” follows soldier Jae-yoon (Park Jung-min) and his girlfriend Young-ju (Jisoo) as they navigate a zombie-overrun Seoul, racing through the chaos to reunite with each other.
Park Jung-min, known for his exceptional performances in “Smugglers”, “Start-Up”, “Keys to the Heart” and “Harbin”, portrays Lee Jae-yoon, a late bloomer soldier facing uncertainties about the future.
Jisoo, who previously captivated viewers with “Snowdrop” and is set to appear in the upcoming movie “The Prophet: Omniscient Reader”, plays Young-ju, Jae-yoon’s girlfriend and a new employee navigating her first job.
Park Jung-min expressed his affection for Jisoo, “I’ve always been a fan of BLACKPINK and Jisoo. Once, I even asked actress Kim Go-eun to get their autographs for me. Now, I have two signed albums displayed at home, one of them addressed to ‘Jung-min Oppa’. Seeing that, I thought, ‘I must have lived a good life.’”
Park Jung-min reflected on his time filming with Jisoo, “We shot about 10 sessions together early on, building the emotions between Jae-yoon and Young-ju. However, there was a long gap before we could meet on set again.”
He added, “Hearing updates about Jisoo’s filming during that time, I found myself constantly thinking about her. Despite the challenges of filming in the heat of summer, Jisoo remained cheerful and positive, which I found admirable. Watching her smile behind the monitor taught me a lot.”
Park Jung-min humorously concluded, “I regret not having more romantic scenes with Jisoo. I hope the series does well so we can properly explore that in Season 2. I’ll be looking forward to it!”
“Newtopia” promises a gripping narrative as Jae-yoon and Young-ju navigate a zombie-infested Seoul to reunite, premiering Feb 7th.
