Coupang Play is set to unleash its latest series Newtopia, a groundbreaking entry in what’s being dubbed the “zom-com” (zombie rom-com) genre, with the release of its main poster and second trailer.
The series follows the journey of a soldier and his girlfriend as they traverse zombie-infested downtown Seoul in an attempt to reach each other. Park Jung Min stars as Jae Yoon, alongside Jisoo as Young Joo, in this unconventional romantic thriller.
The newly released main poster captures a crucial moment as the leads face off against hordes of zombies in Seoul’s chaos-filled streets. While Jae Yoon’s shocked expression and Young Joo’s meaningful gaze amp up the tension, it’s their choice of weapons that catches the eye—Jae Yoon clutches a lighter and spray can, while Young Joo wields a blood-stained chainsaw.

The second trailer showcases the couple’s separate but equally dynamic battles through the zombie outbreak. “I’ll survive this and run straight to you,” becomes the series’ driving force as both leads tackle the undead with unexpectedly creative methods. Scenes of Jae Yoon mowing down zombies with a flaming shopping cart and Young Joo shouting “I’m super strong!” while cutting through hordes on an electric scooter promise both thrills and laughs.

The supporting cast brings their own “so funky” flair to the apocalypse. Jae Yoon’s team includes his fellow soldier friend La In Ho (Lim Seong Jae), hotel manager Aaron Park (Kim Jun Han), and their well-armed unit. Young Joo’s crew features her surprisingly capable college friend Jin Wook (Kang Yeong Seok), the brains of the operation Alex (Lee Hak Ju), and an inebriated boy (Tang Jun Sang).
Newtopia premieres on Coupang Play on February 7th at 8 PM KST.
