Cinematic Newtopia Teaser Release Date of Jisoo’s Upcoming Drama
In a groundbreaking fusion of K-pop star power and apocalyptic storytelling, BLACKPINK’s Jisoo is set to captivate audiences worldwide in Amazon Prime Video’s highly anticipated series “Newtopia.” Premiering globally on February 4, this unique drama promises to blend dark comedy, heart-wrenching romance, and zombie horror in an unprecedented narrative cocktail.
Following her impressive melancholic performance in Snowdrop, Jisoo continues to prove her versatility as an actress by taking on the complex role of Kang Young-ju. The character’s ill-timed breakup decision sets the stage for a series that challenges conventional zombie genre tropes while exploring love, regret, and survival themes in extraordinary circumstances.

Plot Overview: A Zombie Apocalypse and a Chaotic Breakup
Newtopia centers on what might be the worst-timed breakup in television history. Kang Young-ju (Jisoo) chooses to end her relationship with soldier Lee Jae-yoon (Park Jeongmin) for the seemingly sensible reason of “needing space.” However, the universe has other plans – in the form of a zombie apocalypse that erupts mere minutes after their separation. This cruel twist of fate transforms a simple breakup into an epic journey of redemption and survival.
Beyond Traditional Zombie Fare
While South Korea has established itself as a powerhouse in zombie entertainment with hits like “Train to Busan” and “All of Us Are Dead,” “Newtopia” takes a refreshingly different approach. The series ingeniously weaves dark humor throughout its apocalyptic narrative, using the zombie outbreak as a backdrop to explore the complexities of human relationships and the true meaning of connection in a world falling apart.
