@@nameisamine you can say that again, media literacy is literally at an all time low. ppl have really deluded themselves into thinking art is supposed to teach us moral lessons. it's no wonder that cultural products are so stale right now. it's ironic cos in their attempts to (performatively) consume only 'good moral' art, today's consumers have been duped into glossing over any mildly uncomfortable piece of media that tries to make these consumers confront their complicity in the exploitative culture industry. judging by the hysterical discourse around a show (that has yet to even conclude), it seems ppl think a show about the evils of the pop culture industry should be peachy clean and all girl boss fantasies. and mind u, these will be the same ppl who will be the loudest endlessly waxing poetic about a celebrity suicide.

"Certain people can run poison in your life so watch out who you surround yourself with." Is a good message even if the show did an awful job writing it. It also summarise how I feel about Jennie. I feel like the more she surrounds herself to these famous stars, the more she will emulate them, hence, why I think she accepted this role. Everything you said about her is perfectly said. I find shows like these trashy and vulgar, and I don't think Jennie would need them. However, I also think she is grown and probably chose it to break free from this image that she is pure and innocent. Either way, I don't care what decisions she make. It won't change my view of her since I'm not her fan and never will be.

[@Evute02]

Break free from an innocent image? To me, personally, it seems that that’s the exact opposite of her true intentions. She often times reminds her fans of how shy she truly is, and how truly scared she can be in public situations. I think this role fits in with her Blackpink image and it has nothing to do with her personal life, other than the desire to work with Levinson. Which is completely understandable for someone her age and industry. Euphoria was undeniably stunning and artistic to watch.

[@mammonsimp6973]

​​@@Evute02 you also forgot the fact euphoria is sexualizing minors and it was made by the same person. The acting saves it but let's not ignore the fact there are actresses in euphoria asking levinson to delete some nude scenes cuz they were uncomfortable and they called him a creep

@@mammonsimp6973 I didn't watch Euphoria but I believe it supposed to tell the reality of drugs and trauma. But from what I hear on the news, it seem like it also goes against their own messages with their actors by overly sexualizing them. It makes it seem like the directors are stuck with showing the "horrors of drugs, sex and trauma" while forgetting the actors are human. Anyway, I'll never watch Euphoria cause I can't stand overly done nudity.

[@Evute02]

@@mammonsimp6973 I understand your point. However, Jennie likely put her focus into his artistry and work itself, not the allegations or controversies associated with him, since she is herself an artist and in the industry. Ultimately, it was her desire and her choice to be part of the project regardless. So, what she saw is what she got. As far as I’m aware (please tell me if I’m wrong) Jennie was casted before Levinson had even entered the picture, so can we really blame her for making the best of the situation she and her fellow cast were put in?

[@Evute02]

Her (and others) experience on set was probably fantastic, considering her commentary. In the end, she got to make friends and be part of something as much as anyone else. There is so much we pick up from rumours and allegations to use against particular people these days that there is no open discussion or real discourse about the project. Yeah, show sucks either way (like the majority nowadays) but the people involved are at such a centre of focus that the show itself seems like a shadow rather than the entire point lol.

Jennie wasnt originally part of the cast she was casted by sam after they had a brief discussion this all was confirmed by jennie herself in that interview .in fact jennie wanted to be on the show bec she did like sam's few works. So no she wasnt forced or anything and she won't leave it either bec oviously it doesnt make sense since she already had talked with sam regarding this project. Personally i think she probably took the project to build up strong connection in the industry i mean if the story wasnt bad n all she would have blown up even more. Even now she already got tons of attention and as some say there is no such thing as negative publicity. Just think after this exposure if she managed to land a better role fans would most probably forget about this one or something.

I think those fans just can’t accept the fact that Jennie isn’t perfect, no hate on her but she’s also a human and she’s not perfect, she makes mistakes, other times she makes bad decisions and as they already says, she is an adult, she’s not a naive kid, she’s mature enough to think twice before she makes a decision

But it's literally not just her - it's a problem with all of the actors, and they should be held accountable for partaking in this shit.

[@phOenix-hr1px]

for people saying "its not idol's prblm kids are watching the show", main thing is we see kpop agencies debuting even 13-14 year olds as idols, and for that they need to be trainee even before that age, so ofc younger kids are gonna be part of their target audience even if in small %age and when idols take part in individual projects those kids will automatically watch that. So it should be the responsibility of agencies to decide the target audience for their kpop grps not like at times they are doing kids stuff and then completely straight up adult shit and parents should be equally responsible for what their kids are watching.

i agree. its not just jennie, its every celebrity who should be held responsible for what they decide to participate in, especially if they have younger fans. "they do whatever they want" shouldn't be an arguement here, since kpop fandoms usually consist of underage people, who can easily be influenced. i also agree with your point, that if they were aiming for a younger audience originally, they shouldn't be surprised that people are shocked and disappointed over a role like this.

I just love it when Blinks create a narrative that completely clears Jennie of any and all responsibility..Even if I accept the claim that the director was changed and the original story was scrapped in favor of this much sluttier version, I think Jennie should not be completely exonerated..She is afterall an adult with not only a massive following but also a major company behind her, and so when she saw that the show was turning out different from what she originally signed up for, she should have taken measures to not only release herself from further involvement in the show, but also have the scenes she has already filmed scrapped from the show that will be aired..I understand that she has very little say in the production of the show, that the choreography (which tbh was downright p*rn) and script (which also sounds like something out of p*rn) was outside of her jurisdiction, but she did not have to participate in either if she did not want to..This show is vulgar and trashy and I really do not understand why she associated herself with it in the first place..She clearly could have done so much better..I know that getting out of contract can be difficult, esp one in which I assume a huge amount of money was involved, but it should not be impossible, esp if some misinformation or deception was involved..I think her decision to be in the show is stupid at the very least and possibly downright irresponsible and selfish..I know she is a grown woman and should be able to make decisions for herself, but she should have also taken into account how this show will affect not only her band’s image and its members but also her fans, many of whom are actually minors..I know many would claim that the fans voicing their objection to this just want to control her so that she can remain the sweet innocent girl in their perverse fantasy, but I assure you, those fans are few and far between..BP’s concept is girl crush and their group targets to appeal to young girls and women who wish to identify with strong female role models, which is why this move by Jennie is really disappointing..Blinks who think she would be losing out if she steps down from the show are belittling her and overrating the show..The show is trash and she won’t be getting a lot from trash unless they recycle it into compost..The show just used her for clout..Tbh, I don’t think whatever she is getting out of it (be it attention or money or a foot into Hollywood) is worth what she possibly gambling away (right now she is already receiving a lot of backlash particularly in Asia which tbh makes up the majority of Kpop fandoms)..Blinks should stop coddling her and call it what it is..She should admit she made a wrong turn and course correct before she completely derails..

Great review! the hate jennie is receiving is so unnecessary BUT as much as I love her, I think people are allowed to be disappointed. just not put it out publicly in a hateful and revolting manner. disappointment can be portrayed online via constructive and polite criticism. now you might say "oh jennie doesn't give af about YOUR disappointment" which is true. but still, as a free human being, we are allowed to be, provided that our public display of it doesn't cross certain lines. moving on, the reason I'm disappointed is that, no matter what blinks tell us, no jennie did not read the original script. she wasn't even IN the original cast when there was a female director. she was casted in AFTER Sam was made director and produced a new script. it was SAMS decision to cast pop stars and influencers (jenie, troye sivan). so yes, jennie read a script about an oversexualised, misogynistic, creepy, problematic, gross show, in which she has little to no importance (other than being someone jocelyn sees as a competition) and agreed to be in it. there is no message or symbolism or metaphor her character portrays other than "pretty asian girl who's good at everything the mc isn't". maybe as the show progresses we'll see more depth to her character? but as for now, there is absolutely NO reason for jennie to have agreed to be on this show. especially since her character gets no more than 5 minutes of screentime (the third episode is out as of my writing this, and she gets 10 seconds of screentime 😐). jennie, as an actress and as a human being, has so much more to give and portray and the idol is ruining it for her, and the fact that SHE chose it, just makes matters worse..

4:57 the last sencence in this comment actually hits hard. Jennie can do what she wants but begin part of a girl group that main audience is young girls and playing such an objectifying role is really irresponsible.

[@starbutterfly4860]

i have no problems with the nudity, vulgarity, problematic lines and explicit content. i think it's absolutely fine for shows to have all those things. i think the idol made it extremely clear that it was going to be about that and that the show really isn't for children. i don't think they did anything wrong here by deciding to include those problematic lines or the sexually explicit content. my issue is that's it all done extremely poorly. it's unwatchable. those shocking lines, explicit scenes and their shock value are literally the only memorable thing about the show apart from the weeknd's strange acting performance :( i 100% agree that firing the previous director was the biggest mistake. turning it into a male gaze fantasy ruined all the potential it had and absolutely "single-handedly destroyed the show". you can see the potential and it's just infuriating when you see what became of it. i genuinly don't understand why lily-rose depp and jennie decided to stick around.

there is a line for everything , the script is so bad , the show at times too cringy to watch plus too much non necessary nudity and porn is still bad even for an adult

Jennie has been exploited most of her life, I doubt she realizes how much she’s been exploited for this show.

[@puppy7519]

No i don't think she is a victim in this situation, she know what she is getting into but i think she thought this would be hit because of the similar aspects of euphoria. Please stop trying portray her as a victim when no one know what goes on behind. And its pathetic you trying to do this only because of the hate if she was praised for the role, you wouldn't throw a pity party

Jennie is asking for criticism at this point. The show being 21+ isn't the problem, the problem is this show is trashy af. She probably has so many opportunities but chose THIS?!?! yeah she is a grown woman that's why she needs to hold accountable.

[@Heather-ip8sd]

Ikr. Like u can’t say “she’s an adult and can do what she wants” and then say “I think it isn’t a bit of her fault bc she wasn’t fully aware” she can’t be a grown woman and a naive kid at the same time. Truth is she is an adult and she should be more aware of the decisions she makes, and be held accountable for the wrongdoings. And I’m not her hater, I’ve been a fan of bp and her since 2017, but some fans needs to stop defending her over everything.

[@ninana143]

When I first saw a post saying it was "worse than euphoria" I knew enough. I watch euphoria for the Rue timeline, the other actors,...what they make them do (nude/sx scenes) is way to much for supposedly "high schoolers".

[@clarawalker6042]

I watched just the initial 2 episodes that too hitting the fast forward button a gazillion times. The show legit made me feel sick in my gut. We understand when someone wants to portray the dark side of something. But this show didn't have just a dake side it was dark to the core! Not something you expect someone as popular as Jennie to get into. Many anti-fans have been pointing out it's just what Jennie wants to do in this phase of life. She wants to get rid of the perfect cover girl image and portray herself as more mature and bold I guess. I also discovered the concept of yachting wherein individuals who wanna land better opportunities end up sleeping with so called influential ppl who in return give them a gig to climb the ladder of money, power and fame. According to the sources of yachting, girls specially choose to promote themselves in an overly sexualized way so that they can let potential connections know they are open for business. The way Jennie had been seeing partying and twerking at concerts, it surely does point in that way. But who am I to judge? Maybe it's just her preference to conduct herself in that manner which in a way is the reality of the world of fame. These are just things I have observed, I am in no way implying it as a fact.

[@PaolaRosario-pd1rc]

What people don't want to accept/realize is that this IS the reality of the music industry.

[@sarawinardi6745]

Well, apparently Forbes thinks that Jennie should win an Emmy for her role. You know what they say. Bad publicity is still publicity.

[@lily_art_creation]

I agree

[@bluemoon_17]

i read somewhere, i think the concept of kpop idol in Korea is to be an inspiration for young generation, so kpop have that kind of strict "rule" like you have to respect your senior, focus on your career and work hard, so young generation can see the idol as their role model and they can learn good attitude. so in this series i see that the idol is from different culture (west culture) and i think this "comparation" didnt match (sorry for my bad english), and about jennie, is she representing the kpop in this series??, i think its not :D let her do whatever she wants because she is grown woman, as adult kpop fans i think we must protect this kind of content from other minor kpop fans by giving reminder

[@jkjn.]

Me being a Jennie stan didn't even watch the shoe but non fans are watching the show to criticise her is crazy, if the show is so bad then don't watch it as simple as that Antis slutshaming her for this is disgusting.

[@jkjn.]

[@yeji_hyun9854]

Thank you so much for this great review. I love how you didn't go against anyone or defend anyone and talked about everything from different points of view. I have been a blink for 4 years now and I know how dark the kpop industry can be and idols are forced to do many things. I was looking forward to the series but I am a bit disappointed of how sexual it is and how much nudity there is in it. But by the end of the say we can't force anyone to do anything just because we didn't like something about them. So it's completely up to Jennie and there are still some positive points in the series

[@Fro0pik]

I am seeing a lot o YG forced Jennie type of comments and it is straight up misinformation,despite being one of the worst companies out there in terms of schedules and management YG gives a lot of freedom to their idols,if they want to act, right that instant they would put in a cast that is safe and good for their image as seen from Jisoo getting casted as a main lead despite having zero experience,so no there is a very slim chance of YG forcing her to take this God awful role and I really do think they rather tried to talk her out of it since they are disassociating themselves with this show and even refusing to answer anything abt it, if you are dissapointed in her you have every right to be she is a grown woman and she did the wrong career move

[@veraps.5176]

I know it was Jennies choice but dan YG could protect her and tell her to go for a safer debut role and seires. A kdrama would be lit Jisoo made it big as an actress already with Snowdrop.

[@dishuuu112]

YG has absolutely no power when it comes to decisions like Hollywood. They might have suggested her not to go we don't know but at the end it's Jennie's decision whether to go or not. YG can't hold her back against her for western movies or series. They might have some power when it comes to kdrama but definitely not for anything outside Korea.

[@veraps.5176]

@@dishuuu112 That kinda makes sense especially cuz blackpink is signed with us label 5oo, so they could be more controlling with their us projects.

[@rrabiya.zz006.]

Then yall would've said that yg is restricting bp, not giving them freedom.

[@Kaching8412]

First Jisoo's lead role debut, now Jennie's acting debut - both shows caused controversies. I don't understand why they're not being cautious while shifting from their kpop idol life to a career like acting which is more open to public scrutiny. And to know that it’s their own personal choices & not the company's to choose these projects just makes it messier. Like you're still only in your 20s when you're entering into acting. You basically have your whole life ahead to take up challenges to act in 'controversial' projects. So in your early stages of acting career, your goal should be to establish the fact that you can actually act. Your focus should not be to show everyone how 'different/versatile' you are from the cute idol image being set up by your company. It also should not be wise to stir up uproars among general public/viewers/own countrymen so early on.

[@r.j8204]

They're only thinking about the clout that comes with it.

[@Meganeluther]

Wait what controversy was around jisoo's drama ? I'm a bit behind

[@todays_junseo3557]

@lluvs4noo I am not familiar with Korean politics or history but apparently Snowdrop portrayed misinformation regarding history of North & South Korea, therefore many South Korean tv outlets banned it from airing on their channels, netizens were angry about it etc...

Yea, this thing about BP. First I saw Lisa in some reality show which she become a trainer and she is so different. Now is Jennie. So, its true, they are faking their personality to be fit in KPop industry.

[@zeestanwar1041]

No one pointed this out but I just realized now how right you are for pointing out the kind of image she has formed as an idol and how it totally contradicts her image in the show. Like this is so hypocritical...makes it seem that all the aegyo was just an act, you know role playing as a cute sexy school girl. Damn! I am just so shocked! If idols really have such wild fantasies, they should just skip the act all together and act fuvking normal instead of like a 16 year old giggling school girl. This makes me lose sm respect for them. Just remembered how she was behaving during the Game Caterer's episode held at YG's building.... everything was an act apparently.

[@nehalilisays]

Honestly, in 2018 I kind of wanted to stan Blackpink but I stopped watching "Blackpink House" on KZbin after I noticed they were being/acting cute almost all the time on that show and it didn't feel authentic to me. I think it's a general issue in Kpop that the girl groups are somewhat expected to present themselves in a cute & "innocent" way off-stage all the time. With Blackpink there is this big contrast between their cool/tough image on stage and their cute image off-stage and I think it leaves a lot space for speculating about their "true selves".

[@Somethingswrongwithme_]

I wouldn't be surprised if some abusive stans force me to respect and worship Jennie!?. I mean, I can't comment anything critically about her cause they will come running to defend her and I'hv got no strength to fight back any kind of harrassment. 🤡 Btw, I don't find any reason to like her and I just can't stop hating her. Aghhh! Nobody has the right to force me to love someone! Its my choice! I can hate whoever I want.
