BLACKPINK’s Jisoo and Park Jung Min’s upcoming K-drama Newtopia is all set to premiere. Ahead of its much-anticipated release, a new teaser of the show has dropped, featuring the leading cast. The plot of the show follows a couple who try to reunite following a deadly zombie outbreak in the city.

On January 24, 2025, the production team of Newtopia released a brand new teaser featuring Jisoo and Park Jung Min. The video opens with an intense glimpse into the story, following Jae Yoon, a soldier still far from completing his service, and Young Joo, who struggles with loneliness after her boyfriend’s enlistment, as they confront a sudden zombie outbreak.

As chaos unfolds, the tagline, “I’ll survive no matter what and come running to you,” underscores their determination to reunite despite overwhelming odds. Jae Yoon mows down zombies with a blazing shopping cart, while Young Joo charges fearlessly through the horde on an electric scooter, swinging a chainsaw with abandon, showcasing their unique and chaotic approaches to survival.



Moreover, a new poster has also been released, highlighting the gripping tension as Jae Yoon and Young Joo confront a zombie-infested Seoul. Amid the chaos, Jae Yoon’s terrified expression contrasts with Young Joo’s enigmatic demeanor. Their determination is evident as Jae Yoon clutches a lighter and spray can while Young Joo wields a blood-stained chainsaw, leaving a lasting impression.
