BLACKPINK Jisoo’s Acting In “Newtopia” Trailer Slammed With Scathing Comments
The trailer for BLACKPINK Jisoo’s latest acting venture, Newtopia, has just been released and has already sparked heated discussions online.
Known primarily for her music career, Jisoo takes on the role of Yeong Ju, a young woman navigating a challenging relationship with her boyfriend while facing a zombie apocalypse. Despite the star power she brings, early reactions to her performance have been overwhelmingly negative.
Newtopia centers around a zombie outbreak in a high-rise air defense unit in Seoul. The plot follows Jae Yun — a soldier grappling with his future and a recent breakup — and Yeong Ju, his girlfriend who becomes embroiled in the chaos while trying to reunite with him. Over the course of the story, Jae Yun, initially portrayed as insecure and timid, grows into a capable leader, while Yeong Ju finds inner strength in the fight for survival.
The series promises action, emotional drama, and high stakes, but it seems the spotlight has shifted to Jisoo’s acting — with many questioning her suitability for the role.
The trailer quickly became a trending topic on online forums, with one post on TheQoo alone racking up 35,000 views. Many netizens have expressed disappointment in Jisoo’s delivery, with her pronunciation and vocal tone being singled out as major issues. The comments section has been flooded with criticism.
- “Reminds me of Cha Eun Woo. If it’s entertaining, people will just watch it while complaining.”
- “That voice is not suited for acting. This is serious.”
- “Jisoo, please give up on acting… Among all the bad acting I’ve seen, this might be the worst.”
- “Wow… Do you really have to act…? ㅠㅠ”
- “Why does Jisoo keep trying to act? She’s seriously so bad at it. Her voice and delivery aren’t suited for acting at all.”
Newtopia is scheduled to premiere on February 7, 2025, and will air every Friday over the course of eight episodes. You can watch the trailer below:
