Coupang Play’s Newtopia is dominating as the No.1 series, and Episode 3 has taken the hype to another level! With intense zombie fights, non-stop action, and emotional moments between Jaeyoon (Park Jung Min) and Youngjoo (Jisoo), fans are now demanding more episodes per week!

The drama follows soldier Jaeyoon and his girlfriend Youngjoo as they fight to reunite while navigating a zombie-infested Seoul.

In the latest episode, Jaeyoon’s team and Youngjoo’s group go all out in their battle against zombies, using creative survival tactics. Jaeyoon barely escapes and reaches a rooftop military base, only to witness his close friend Chef Jung (Park Kwang Jae) turn into a zombie, making the situation even more intense. Armed with a scraper, guns, and even using Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu’s guillotine choke technique, Jaeyoon fights for his life, but with his teammates turning one by one, the tension skyrockets. As food supplies run low and communication cuts off, even trained soldiers are trembling in fear!

Meanwhile, Youngjoo and her group face pure terror when zombies storm the police station they thought was safe. With Jinwook (Kang Young Seok) and Alex (Lee Hak Joo) by her side, she navigates the dangerous streets of Gangnam, determined to reach Jaeyoon’s tower. Alex’s decision to stick with her adds an extra layer of anticipation for fans rooting for their survival.

Despite being apart, Jaeyoon and Youngjoo manage to reconnect through text. The moment Jaeyoon reads Youngjoo’s message saying she’s on her way, he bursts into tears—completely breaking viewers’ hearts. On the other hand, Youngjoo, hiding in an LP bar, stumbles upon a cassette tape of Yoon Jong Shin’s song, bringing back sweet college memories of her time with Jaeyoon. This touching scene has fans desperately hoping for their reunion!

With so much suspense and emotional storytelling, Newtopia fans are buzzing online:

• "Zombie rom-com with heart? I’m here for it!"
• "It’s gory but still lighthearted—love this balance!"
• "Coupang Play, please give us two episodes per week! We can’t wait any longer!"

Would you like me to tweak anything further? ?

IU recently revealed that she watched her own concert film in a public theater, but shockingly, no one recognized her—even when she dropped a hint!

On February 27, a new video featuring IU was released, showing her inside a car on her way to Daejeon.

She excitedly shared, “This is a surprise stage greeting for UAENA! I picked this location through a ladder game when I did stage greetings.”

Previously, IU had let fate decide which city she would visit after her stage greetings. She happily said, “There are UAENAs everywhere I go. Wherever I go, it's a flowery path.” The game ultimately led her to Daejeon.

IU originally hoped to explore the city, saying, “I wanted to visit Daejeon's pride, Sung Sim Dang, and walk around, but my team said it wouldn’t be possible. The lines are too long, and it’s freezing outside.” She sighed, adding, “So, things turned out this way.”

Dressed up for the occasion, IU smiled, saying, “I don’t get to meet UAENAs in Daejeon often, so I wanted to make a surprise appearance looking my best.”

She also joked about enjoying surprise events, adding, “As long as Hanteo oppa drives me safely, I’m happy.”

But what really caught fans' attention was IU’s unexpected confession—she had secretly watched her concert film in a theater, but no one noticed her! “No one recognized me at all. There weren’t that many people, and it was a weekday… but still! I even gave a hint!” she said, sounding both amused and surprised.

Later, when IU finally appeared at the theater, her fans were overwhelmed with emotion. Some even burst into tears, prompting her to gently say, “You really didn’t expect me to come, right?”

After wrapping up her stage greeting, IU laughed at herself, saying, “Wait, did I just do a 40-minute one-woman show? I must have talked so much.”

On her way back to Seoul, IU reflected on the day, sharing, “It was so cold today. I shook hands with all the UAENAs. My hands are usually cold, and since the weather was freezing, I think I made a lot of people’s hands cold, too. But after touching so many warm hands, mine became warm, too. I still haven’t washed them.”

Her love for her fans truly knows no bounds!
