Actor Park Jung-min appeared in the Coupang Play original series "Newtopia," which successfully concluded and shared his thoughts on the ending.
"Newtopia" is a new style of drama that combines zombies and romance, with actor Park Jung-min transforming from a tsundere engineering student to a soldier named "Jaeyoon," who appears somewhat awkward and clumsy but fights alongside his companions in times of crisis. He authentically portrays the charm of youth as he struggles to survive in a world plagued by a zombie virus, perfectly embodying "Jaeyoon's" determination to protect his beliefs and love amidst the chaotic situation. This has heightened the immersion of the work, leaving a deep impression with his strong presence and delicate emotional acting.
"Newtopia" tells the story of soldier "Jaeyoon" and his girlfriend "Young-joo" (played by Jisoo) running towards each other through downtown Seoul, which has been invaded by zombies. In a world turned upside down by a zombie virus, the two protagonists maintain an inseparable relationship and develop a straightforward romance. This work, depicting their unwavering love even in chaotic circumstances, captivated audiences with its unique charm. Particularly, actor Park Jung-min challenged the zombie genre for the first time in this piece, revealing a new allure.
