Jennie is one of the four members of the Blackpink group, which has a large fan base of all ages around the world. She is also an ambassador for many famous brands. Currently, the Blackpink group is also on a global tour with huge revenue, breaking many world records.
Jennie's participation in the movie "The Idol" has been hot news for her fans for a long time. This is Jennie's first role, her first foray into the film industry. On June 4, "The Idol" was aired on HBO and immediately after that, Jennie's name became the center of great controversy.
Jennie becomes the center of controversy even though she only plays a supporting role in "The Idol"
On June 6, Allkpop reported that Jennie will play the role of Dyanne, the best friend of the female lead Jocelyn, played by Lily-Rose Depp. Although she plays a supporting role, in the first episodes, Jennie had a sensitive dance scene with the male dancers.
Many people think that the scene is erotic and unartistic, and Jennie's expressions while acting in this scene are even more offensive. They "stoned" the female singer for having a forgettable debut role, negatively affecting her image.
Dance moves are considered sensitive
Many people criticized the female singer's expression while dancing.
Korean netizens commented: "The choreography is problematic but her facial expressions are even more concerning. I understand why people say it looks like porn"; "I don't understand why Jennie decided to participate in this movie, why didn't her management company stop her"; "Isn't it a bit too much? What was the movie producer thinking?"; "The image of an idol group singer is very important so I'm pretty sure she should find out what she's getting herself into"; "What's with her expression? She looks like she's really doing it"...
Besides criticism, Jennie's fans defended their idol and refuted negative comments. They said that Jennie only played a supporting role and if the movie was not good or the scenes were offensive, it was the fault of the producer and director, not the actors.
They also stated that the criticized scenes were cuts that intentionally emphasized sensitive elements rather than the entire content of the scene.
"The Idol" was previously criticized for its overuse of nudity, many of which did not serve the film's content.
The Idol, produced by The Weeknd and Sam Levinson, tells the love story of a pop singer named Jocelyn and a mysterious cult leader played by The Weeknd. It premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival and received mixed reviews.
Film critics have criticized this work. They say that the film overuses nudity and "hot" scenes in an "indiscriminate" way, with many scenes that do not serve the content of the film. The film even received a score of 9/100.
However, with Jennie's participation, the film is expected to still attract audiences because of her large fan base.
