Coupang Play’s highly anticipated drama “Newtopia” has unveiled a gripping teaser poster and trailer, setting the stage for an adrenaline-fueled premiere!
‘Newtopia’ Teasers Offer Glimpse at Drama and Action
“Newtopia” follows the intense journey of Jae Yoon (played by Park Jung Min), a soldier navigating his military service, and his girlfriend Young Joo (played by BLACKPINK’s Jisoo), as they fight to reunite in a Seoul overrun by a zombie outbreak.
The newly revealed poster encapsulates the chaos and tension of the series. Jae Yoon and Young Joo stand in a ruined Seoul, surrounded by an onslaught of zombies. Jae Yoon’s fear-stricken expression contrasts sharply with Young Joo’s fierce and enigmatic demeanor. Both characters clutch unique weapons that symbolize their resilience in this dire situation: Jae Yoon grips a lighter and spray can, while Young Joo wields a massive, blood-soaked chainsaw.
The accompanying trailer offers a deeper glimpse into their perilous journey. It opens with Jae Yoon, a soldier far from completing his service, and Young Joo, grappling with loneliness after his enlistment. However, their lives are thrown into turmoil when a sudden zombie apocalypse engulfs the city. Determined to reunite, the two embark on a relentless quest to find one another amidst the chaos.
Jae Yoon’s anxious expressions are juxtaposed with his bold actions, such as mowing down zombies using a burning shopping cart. Meanwhile, Young Joo showcases her fearlessness by charging through zombies on an electric scooter, expertly swinging her chainsaw to clear her path.
Adding to the dynamic narrative are their allies, including Ra In Ho (Im Seong Jae), Aaron Park (Kim Jun Han), Jin Wook (Kang Young Seok), Alex (Lee Hak Joo), and a plucky college applicant (Tang Jun Sang). Their teamwork and audacious actions heighten the drama’s thrill and excitement.
With its intense action sequences, compelling characters, and emotional core, “Newtopia” promises a heart-pounding adventure that combines survival, love, and courage in the face of unimaginable odds.
“Newtopia” will premiere on February 7 at 8 p.m. KST.
