The name changed from "Jeongmin Senior" to "Jeongmin Oppa" made a man look back on his life.

The production presentation for Coupang Play series 'Newtopia' held at the Conrad Hotel in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 7th.

'Newtopia' is a drama that has been creating a buzz even before its airing, with actor Park Jung-min and Black Pink member Jisoo working together on romance. It is a story of soldiers Jae-yoon (Park Jung-min) and Young-joo (Ji-soo) running to each other across downtown Seoul, where they were attacked by zombies, and Yoon Sung-hyun, the director of the films 'Watchmen' and 'Time for the Hunt', took the megaphone.

Park Jung-min, who played late soldier boyfriend Jae-yoon, delivered his impressive comments on working with Ji-Soo.

Park Jung-min "I have a cabinet that only collects precious things in my house. There are two BLACKPINK sign CDs at the front. I'm a fan of BLACKPINK, so I asked Kim Go-eun to get an autograph before. The CD I received at that time reads 'Thank you for supporting Jung-min,' and the CD I received (recently) reads 'Jeong-min, please take care of me in the future~' Looking at those two, I feel 'I've lived a hard life' and 'I'll have to live harder in the future' and feel proud.

Ji-soo, who sat next to Park Jung-min and listened to her feelings, also couldn't hide her happy expression.

Jisoo also introduced a story that moved Park Jung-min. Ji-Soo said "There was a scene where I was talking to Jung-min on the phone, and I heard a sound very close. It turned out that even though Jung-min was not filming that day, he hid behind the set and talked on the phone himself. It was a surprise and I was able to focus well thanks to that"Thank you."

When host Park Kyung-rim asked "Do you usually go to the set if you have a phone call scene like that?" Park Jung-min said "I've never done that before," drawing laughter.

Park Jung-min continued "At that time, the set was Yeongdeungpopo, so I could go there. But Jisoo came down to Anseong, Gyeonggi Province in the morning and touched us all."

Park Jung-min and Ji-Soo's 's 'sweet' romance, which bloomed among zombies, will be unveiled for the first time on February 7.
