Actor Park Jung-min expressed his feelings about the end of Coupang Play's original series 'Newtopia'.

'Newtopia' is a new style of drama that combines zombies and romance, and Park Jung-min has turned from a tsundere engineering student in the play to Jae-yoon, a soldier who fights with his colleagues in a crisis.

He sincerely depicted the charm of youth struggling to survive in a world where the zombie virus spread, perfectly digesting Jae-yoon's attempt to protect his faith and love even in a chaotic situation. This further increased the immersion of the work and impressed with its intense presence and delicate emotional acting.

'Newtopia' tells the story of soldier Jae-yoon and Gomsin Yeong-ju (Jisoo) running to each other across downtown Seoul, where they were attacked by zombies. In a world devastated by the zombie virus, the two protagonists continued their inseparable relationship and had a straight romance. Despite such a confusing situation, he captivated the audience with his unique charm by depicting the story of two people trying to firmly protect their love. In particular, Park Jung-min showed a new charm by challenging the zombie genre for the first time through this work.

Park Jung-min was then able to finish safely thanks to his colleagues who had been with him for eight months through his agency, Sam Company. I think the time I spent with Nutopia will remain a good memory for me"I expressed my feelings

Then "I would like to thank the viewers who have loved New Topia so far. Thank you so much for always supporting us. I'll see you again in good health," he said in greeting.
