BlackPink’s Jennie fans are angry after an anonymous source from HBO’s The Idol recently made shocking revelations about the singer’s role in the long-awaited series.

Sources revealed to Rolling Stone magazine that BlackPink’s Jennie was used as bait without having a significant role in the widely publicized series using her name.

“For her, each episode has three or four lines,” a production source told the magazine about Jennie’s supposed role in the series, even though she appeared in trailers and docs. advertisement. “They didn’t let her talk much. Basically, her job is to sit there [and] look beautiful. »

This revelation was revealed by Rolling Stone magazine, revealing that Jennie’s (BLACKPINK) role in HBO’s The Idol was not as great and important as fans thought.

The Weeknd and Sam Levinson introduced her character as an important woman who identifies as bisexual and one of the most important characters after Jocelyn (Lily-Rose Depp).

Anonymous sources further revealed that they would not be surprised if the makers of the series used his character as the main character. “queer bait,” which is a marketing tactic in which manufacturers allude to a same-sex relationship without mentioning it.

This shocking revelation made Jennie’s (BLACKPINK) fans shocked and angry. They took to social media to express their disappointment at the mistreatment of the famous K-pop female idol.

Additionally, fans are concerned that Sam Levinson is directing The Idol, which is being billed as a darker, edgier, and sexier version of the hit show Euphoria.

The American presenter, who previously created Euphoria, tends to glorify sex and n*dity on screen to attract views.

Anonymous production sources reveal that in addition to Sam Levinson’s sexual objectification and female nudity, he revamped the entire series to suit his needs.

This comes after the series’ original director, Amy Seimetz, suddenly left the project. At this time, HBO announced that The Idol would undergo a complete overhaul under the direction of Sam Levinson, as The Weeknd felt the series had strayed too far into the “female perspective”.

Production sources mentioned that in addition to going over budget, the series also faced multiple delays, reshoots, and rewrites.

That’s because Sam Levinson almost abandoned the completed $54-75 million project to create a new version of The Idol with more violence, sex, and nudity.

Sources reiterate that the original version of The Idol had an important message, but The Idol, directed by Sam Levinson, is more graphic and disturbing than his previous show Euphoria:

“It’s like any fantasy heist any toxic man would have on the show – and then the woman comes back for more because it makes his music better”

In response to the reports, The Weeknd released a cryptic trailer for The Idol featuring him and Lily Rose-Depp with the caption “Did anyone hurt you?” “. He tagged Rolling Stone in his tweet as a clapback in response to an article opposing his upcoming product.

 

So, according to fans, it seems like Jennie was really taken advantage of. Considering the direction the series is going, it’s a shame she has to appear in all of this.

She doesn’t deserve to have her name attached to a show that not only exploits her but is also misogynistic.
