The press preview of Coupang Play's original series 'Newtopia' (played by Han Jin-won and Ji Ho-jin, directed by Yoon Sung-hyun) was held on the 3rd. Director Yoon Sung-hyun attended the event.
In the first and second episodes released on the same day, martial law was declared due to the zombie crisis, and some pointed out that it reminded Yoon Suk Yeol's president of declaring and lifting emergency martial law on December 3 last year. In response, director Yoon Sung-hyun said, `I was also surprised by martial law. When such content came out after the editing was finished, I think I actually wrote the expressions that the troops and executives showed while looking at the actual martial law, and I was very surprised. I think I can only say that it's amazing. It's a setting that was in the script, and I think I was surprised that it was revealed in reality."
'Newtopia' tells the story of a soldier Jae-yoon and a bear lord running to each other across downtown Seoul, where they were attacked by zombies. Director Yoon Sung-hyun, who swept domestic and foreign film festivals with the movie `Watchmen" and excellently depicted the beauty and thrill of the genre with 『Time of Hunting』, presents K-zombiel with fresh senses and visuals. On top of that, actor Park Jung-min will meet as a late soldier boyfriend 'Jaeyoon', who only thinks of his girlfriend even if the whole world goes bankrupt, and global girl group Black Pink member Ji-soo will meet as a bold goshin girlfriend 'Youngju', who confronts a zombie crowd with one determination that he should only meet Jae-yoon, to complete a perfect couple chemistry that will not stop the zombie virus.
'Neutopia' will be released at 8 p.m. on the 7th.
