He is then seen wearing a tense expression in a baffling moment, holding a gun to fight off as danger lurks everywhere. The next few stills showed him trying to come up with instant plans to survive the hoards of zombies and reunite with his girlfriend, with whom he last talked before the situation escalated into an apocalypse

Newtopia (previously known as Influenza) is an upcoming series with a new take on the zombie trope. Park Jung Min is set to embody the role of a soldier named Jae Yoon, working at the air-defense unit. However, due to his low self-esteem, he has been extremely worried about his future. Over his growing anxiety, he decides to break up with his girlfriend Young Joo.

Jisoo is set to appear as Young Joo, a woman who is new to society and trying to settle in. Amid a situation like this, she is shocked when Jae Yoon asks for a breakup. Worried about her relationship, she decides to pay him a visit to the air-defense building. However, when hoards of zombies capture the people inside as hostages, she tries to find her allies and form a group to reunite with her boyfriend.
