"Season 2?"- Fans speculate as Park Jeong-min seemingly hints at Newtopia renewal possibilities ahead of season 1 release

South Korean actor Park Jeong-min’s recent comments, regarding the second season of his upcoming fantasy action drama Newtopia, have garnered attention online. On January 7, 2025, a press conference was held ahead of the release of the series, where the cast members Park Jeong-min, BLACKPINK's Jisoo, and director Yoon Sung-hyun addressed the media.

"We met again quite later, but you know how you hear things through others. Every time I heard about Jisoo’s filming experiences, I couldn’t help but feel concerned...”

He further teased about a second season and expressed his wish to film romantic scenes with the BLACKPINK vocalist if there were to be another season. The actor continued:

“It's a bit of a shame we didn’t get to do many romantic scenes together. I’d love another opportunity to work with her. If Newtopia does well, wouldn’t it be great to properly explore that in a Season 2 with JISOO? I’ll be looking forward to it.”
