The BLACKPINK member plays the female protagonist, Kang Young-joo, in the upcoming romantic zombie drama <em>Newtopia<\/em>, which will premiere on February 7, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>While talking to the news media, Director Yoon praised Jisoo\u2019s performance as an actress. He emphasized how crucial her role is in the story and that Jisoo portrayed it well. He complimented Jisoo\u2019s sense of humor, which was essential for Young-joo\u2019s character.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI felt lucky to work with Jisoo. By the time you reach Episode 8, you\u2019ll feel that Youngjoo is a character that only Jisoo could portray. She did an excellent job. As I mentioned at the production presentation, Youngjoo\u2019s humor is crucial to her character. There needed to be a natural comedic element, and Jisoo herself has a great sense of humor. Working with her was a fortunate experience, and there were no difficulties at all.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>Director Yoon also highlighted his initial doubts about casting Jisoo, as she hadn\u2019t appeared in another drama since <em>Snowdrop<\/em>, which was released in 2021. Following this, he added that the female idol\u2019s commitment to her role was impressive as she worked tirelessly. He went on to say that her role was physically demanding, but Jisoo handled it well with a smile.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSince she hadn\u2019t acted in a project after Snowdrop, I initially wondered, \u2018Will she be okay?\u2019 However, she dedicated four days a week to script readings and worked tirelessly. Seeing her commitment, I had no concerns or difficulties.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cJisoo came fully prepared for filming. It was a physically demanding shoot, and there are even more intense scenes beyond what has been shown so far. I\u2019m grateful that she always tackled the action scenes with a smile.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><strong>BLACKPINK\u2019s Jisoo\u2019s <\/strong><strong><em>Newtopia<\/em><\/strong><strong> is a romantic zombie drama<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/k-pop\/youtube\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\">                    <noscript><iframe title=\"Newtopia - Official Trailer | Prime Video\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FwqXAxgTkA0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>                    <\/p>\n<div class=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/k-pop\/youtube\" data-embed=\"FwqXAxgTkA0\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" height=\"370\" width=\"660\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/02\/7f06f-17385847932855-1920.jpg\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/02\/7f06f-17385847932855-1920.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The much-awaited COUPANG TV drama is slated to release its first episode on February 7, 2025. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/k-pop\/why-always-every-video-internet-divided-mathilde-favier-s-behaviour-towards-blackpink-s-jisoo-s-dior-couture-ss25-show-paris\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">BLACKPINK<\/a>\u2019s Jisoo will appear in <em>Newtopia<\/em> alongside talents such as Park Jeong-min, Kim Jun-han, Lee Hak-joo, Tang Jun-sang, Hong Seo-hee, and Im Sung-jae.
