According to Allkpop, Jennie is currently “defining the landscape of K-pop” following her controversial performance in The Idol. Despite criticism from South Korea, many international news outlets recognize this as a shining example of Jennie’s versatility, marking her as a “transformative figure in the entertainment industry.”
The Idol trending online
On its premiere day, The Idol attracted 913,000 viewers on streaming platforms. The popularity of BlackPink played a significant role in boosting its rankings on various streaming platforms, surpassing numerous other programs.
Statistics show that The Idol is currently the most discussed series online, surpassing well-known shows like Succession, The Croods: Family Tree, Gotham Knights…
Jennie’s involvement has placed the show third in the top series for most views on its debut, just behind Euphoria and The White Lotus.
The series has generated significant buzz, particularly regarding Jennie’s role, which has drawn considerable attention. A clip featuring her garnered 4.9 million views, not including additional clips that went viral.
According to Mashable, Jennie has faced criticism from South Korean media, which primarily focuses on her performance in the series. However, regardless of whether the controversy is justified, this outlet suggests that Jennie’s fame will likely increase after the show’s conclusion.
Jennie creates waves of controversy due to her role in the film
According to Wikitree, the management company is not overly concerned with Jennie’s film role, stating that they will manage public perceptions more carefully. However, for some, this is merely a role in a film, not a reflection of the true character of the artist. The fact that a section of the audience feels offended is a reminder that the public’s perception of the artist can be quite distant.
Despite the ongoing discussions surrounding her character, every mention of Jennie in The Idol receives significant attention, particularly regarding her costume choices in the show.
Jennie’s appearance has attracted considerable interest, prompting users to seek out the designer of the outfits she wears in The Idol. A TikTok user @sipteawithmelissa identified a particular high-waisted skirt, priced at $64 (around 1.5 million VND), which quickly sold out after being featured in the series, attracting global attention.
