Wanna see Park Jeong-min and Blackpink’s Jisoo in action? These two top stars will be leading the highly anticipated zombie apocalypse series, titled “Newtopia”.

The story centres on Lee Jae-yoon (Park Jeong-min), who is serving his compulsory military service, and his girlfriend Kang Young-joo (Jisoo), as they race to be reunited in zombie-infested Seoul.

Having started his mandatory military conscription at a later age, Jae-yoon faces anxiety about his future. Due to challenges from being apart from his girlfriend Young-joo, they have a sudden break-up after an argument. However, a zombie outbreak spreads across the city, forcing Jae-yoon to step up as leader of his squad.

Meanwhile, Young-joo experiences her own difficulties as a rookie in the workforce. She is frustrated with Jae-yoon due to him misunderstanding her heart. While on her way to see him, she witnesses the zombie rampage and adapts in order to survive.

The first look stills foreshadow a dynamic story encompassing happy times between the couple as well as the world thrown into chaos by zombie attacks. Thinking of each other first as boyfriend and girlfriend, the pair run across a zombie-laid city to be together again.

Award-winning actor Park Jeong-min is known for his versatility and impressive acting range. After debuting through the acclaimed film “Bleak Night” in 2011, he has acted in numerous films and series.

Amongst his many awards, he won the Best New Actor Award for his role in “Dongju: The Portrait of a Poet” from both the Baeksang Arts Awards and the Blue Dragon Film Awards. He also received the Best Supporting Actor Award for his acting in “Deliver Us From Evil” from both of the aforementioned prestigious awards shows.

Jisoo, a member of the worldwide popular K-pop girl group Blackpink, is also known for her solo activities. In addition to her music career, Jisoo has become a highly sought-after actress. After making special appearances in various shows such as “The Producer” and “Arthdal Chronicles”, she acted as a main lead in the series “Snowdrop”. There is great anticipation to see a new side of the star through “Newtopia”.

“Newtopia” is directed by Yoon Sung-hyun who is known for his films “Bleak Night” and “Time to Hunt”, both of which also star Park Jeong-min. The series is co-written by Han Jin-won and Jee Ho-jin. Han Jin-won co-wrote the film “Parasite”, and Jee Ho-jin wrote the series “A Shop for Killers”.
