As a seasoned gamer and K-drama enthusiast with a penchant for the undead, I must say I’m thoroughly intrigued by BLACKPINK‘s Jisoo’s upcoming series, Newtopia. With a rich background in both music and acting, particularly her captivating performance in Snowdrop, she’s proven herself to be an actress worth watching.
It’s been confirmed that Jisoo from the group BLACKPINK is set to star in a new K-drama titled “Newtopia.” This will be her first on-screen collaboration with actor Park Jung-Min. The upcoming series on Coupang Play is expected to contribute to the zombie drama genre.
In a world called Newtopia, the story centers on Jae-Yoon, a man who joined the military, and his companion, Young-Joo. When a zombie plague sweeps through their city, the pair becomes alarmed. In an effort to locate one another amidst the pandemonium, they hastily search for each other.
More recently, the network posted some frames from the drama. In these images, Jae-Yoon and another soldier are depicted, both showing startled expressions as they gaze at something. Remarkably, the backdrop behind them is splattered with blood. The subsequent snapshot features Young-Joo, looking worried on the street.
