Kim Ji Soo to Return as Yeong Ju in the New Series Newtopia
Coupang Play’s upcoming drama Newtopia has released new photos showing Jisoo in her role! The drama follows Jae Yoon (Park Jung Min), who is in the military, and his girlfriend Young Joo (BLACKPINK’s Jisoo). They both try to find each other while running through a Seoul filled with zombies.
Ji Soo plays Yeong Ju, a character who works hard to find Jae Yoon, even as the world falls apart with zombies taking over. The new photos show Yeong Ju as a popular student in her university days.
She was the center of attention, and everyone noticed her wherever she went. Despite the dangerous and chaotic world around her, Yeong Ju never gives up on her goal to reunite with Jae Yoon. Her strength and determination shine through, making her character even more captivating.
In contrast, other photos show Yeong Ju in a much different light—terrified, tearful, yet still fiercely determined in the face of the zombie apocalypse. With a golf club tightly gripped in her hands, her knuckles white with tension, Yeong Ju’s unwavering resolve stands out. Despite the fear and danger surrounding her, she is determined to push forward through the chaos of a zombie-infested Seoul.
Her courage shines through as she refuses to give up on her mission to find Jae Yoon, even when everything around her seems to be falling apart. The images capture her emotional strength and resilience, highlighting her determination to survive and reunite with the one she loves.
Jisoo expressed how excited she was about the role, saying, “I loved Yeong Joo’s charm from the beginning, and I wanted to play her as true to herself as I could. I hope viewers enjoy watching her change and grow.” Director Yoon Sung Hyun also praised Jisoo’s performance, saying, “Her fun and funny traits matched almost perfectly with the Yeong Joo I imagined in the script, and she brought the character to life in ways I didn’t expect.”
Newtopia is scheduled to premiere on February 7 at 8 p.m., promising an exciting start to the new year for drama enthusiasts. Fans are eagerly anticipating the show’s unique blend of action, suspense, and heartfelt storytelling. With its star-studded cast, including Jisoo and Park Jung Min, and a gripping storyline set against the chaos of a zombie apocalypse, Newtopia is expected to be a standout series.
