The New Era Project will release the soundtrack of the Coupang Play series 'Newtopia,' which has taken the spotlight by breaking the record for the highest viewer count upon its debut.
The New Era Project will release the soundtrack of the Coupang Play series 'Newtopia' on various online music sites at 6 p.m. on the 27th.
'Newtopia' is a highly anticipated work, bringing together actor Park Jung-min and artist Ji Soo, and directed by Yoon Sung-hyun, who gained attention for the film 'Fasoo.' Since its release, it has become a topic of conversation as it presents a unique genre described as 'Zomromcom' (zombie + romance + comedy). With unique direction and unpredictable freshness not commonly seen in previous zombie works, it has received enthusiastic responses for each episode.
The soundtrack album of 'Newtopia,' which is soaring in popularity both domestically and internationally, includes Oneus' 'Rebirth' and Jung Joon-il's 'Annie.' Both songs are original tracks by Yoon Jong-shin, who made special appearances in 'Newtopia,' and are songs that hold the memories of the male and female protagonists, newly remade in the 2025 version to provide comfort and emotion to everyone in reality.
Oneus' 'Rebirth' collaborates with producer Valo, with whom he has long-time synergy, transforming into a dreamy and sweet song. Known for his artistic and unique music style, Oneus is expected to deliver comfort and emotion in a different way than the original.
'Annie,' featuring Jung Joon-il, who is loved for songs like 'Hug Me' and 'First Love,' has been finely arranged with the help of hitmaker Han Kyung-soo, completing a more delicate and sophisticated version of Jung Joon-il's 'Annie.' Expectations are building around the message that Jung Joon-il will convey with his calm and resonant voice.
Additionally, Primary (Choi Dong-hoon), who is active across a broad range of genres with exceptional sensitivity, serves as music director, adding three vocal tracks: 'Like a Tree,' 'Sunrise,' and 'Right Here,' which well express the emotional lines of the characters. Furthermore, the score tracks that enhance the immersion and focus of the intense developments in the series are also included, increasing the musical synergy with the work.
In particular, Primary (Choi Dong-hoon)'s kitschy and unique music has been praised for effectively expressing the intensity and tension characteristic of zombie series, creating anticipation that the impact of 'Newtopia' will linger even after the series concludes.
Meanwhile, all tracks of the 'Newtopia' soundtrack being released by the New Era Project will be available for listening on various online music sites starting at 6 p.m. on the 27th. 'Newtopia' has sparked a 'Zomromcom' craze worldwide, ranking first in popularity among content in six countries and entering the top five in 39 countries since its release on global OTT platform Prime Video, while continuing to hold the number one spot in Coupang Play's content popularity rankings.
