In the first and second episodes of 'Newtopia', which were first released on the 7th, Ji-soo appeared as Young-joo and depicted realistic love emotions and emotions in extreme situations.
'Newtopia' is about a soldier Jae-yoon (Park Jung-min) and his girlfriend Young-joo (Ji-soo) running toward each other in a zombie-covered Seoul. It combines romance and humor with the genre characteristics of zombie movies, creating a different tension.
In the play, Yeongju is a newcomer to society, waiting anxiously for her lover Jae-yoon and experiencing realistic concerns about military relationships. Young-joo, who felt anxious about the future in his first month of employment, eventually suggests Jae-yoon to have time, but eventually bursts into tears at his attitude of accepting the breakup.
Young-joo, who recalls memories with Jae-yoon and feels sorry, cannot easily organize her mind even at a meal with her senior. But there is a bigger crisis than emotional conflict.
In the second episode, zombies appear in earnest, raising a sense of urgency. The lord screams and panics at the unexpected attack, and eventually bursts into tears, but soon wakes up and goes out for survival. He showed a quirky yet determined appearance, such as checking the zombie's condition and asking for help, adding to the dramatic tension.
Also, the mournful emotion towards Jaeyoon stood out. Youngjoo worries about Jaeyoon's safety and leaves a message "I'll come find you" Refusing the senior's offer to head to the police station and deciding to go to the tower where Jae-yoon is at risk made me look forward to future developments.
Meanwhile, Jisoo will release a new mini-album 'AMORTAGE' at 2 p.m. on the 14th and will also return as a solo artist.
'Newtopia' starring Jisoo will be released every Friday at 8 p.m. on Coupang Play.
