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.
'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.
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 also wrote the expressions that the troops and executives showed while watching martial law. 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."
The scene of a plane crash to express a dramatic situation drew attention. Recently, a series of plane-related accidents have occurred, and the scene has also been evaluated as reminiscent of real events. Director Yoon Sung-hyun said, `Since it is a scene that was on the script similar to Gyeom-ryeong and it is a scene that marks the beginning of the story, I think I thought that it was a priority to show it faithfully to the script anyway because it is a key scene in the work.'

Coach Yoon then said, `There was nothing hard about it. Since I haven't worked on my work for a very long time after 'Seolganghwa', I wondered if it would be okay in the beginning. Since I'm not an actor who has been acting continuously. However, I don't think I had any concerns or difficulties as I watched them actively read four days a week. When I already started filming, I was ready to go in, and it's a very difficult shoot, but there are a lot of amazing scenes other than the one that came out now. As an actress, there were many difficult actions, but she always participated in such scenes with a smile. Thank you.
Director Yoon also said of his collaboration with Park Jung-min "Actor Park Jung-min is one of my best friends, and he is a colleague and a friend who will continue to be with actor Lee Je-hoon. Of course, I started with an actor named Park Jung-min at the beginning, so I know the spectrum of the actor's acting skills better than anyone else. I think I wanted to show the part of that spectrum that was not shown. Before that, the characters focused on acting as if they were real and talking, so this time, I wanted to show a different side of actor Park Jung-min, so I came together."
'Neutopia' will be released at 8 p.m. on the 7th.
