Jennie of BLACKPINK is not only a talented singer and rapper, but also an aspiring actress. She is soon making her debut as an actress with HBO’s The Idol, a musical drama series that also features The Weeknd, Lily Rose-Depp, and Troye Sivan.
The focus of the show will be Jocelyn, played by Lily-Rose Depp, who aspires to be a pop icon. However, her dreams are shattered when she suffers a nervous breakdown, leading to the cancellation of her last tour. Undeterred, she sets out to reclaim her status as the most alluring pop star in America. Along the way, she embarks on a complex romantic entanglement with a self-help guru and the leader of a modern-day cult, portrayed by The Weeknd. Jennie’s character is named Angel, however, that is all that is known about her role in the show at the moment.
The Idol has been generating a lot of buzz since its announcement, and it has now been confirmed that it will receive a screening at the prestigious 2023 Cannes Film Festival. The festival, which is known for showcasing some of the best films from around the world, will take place from May 16 to May 27 in France.
This raises the question: will Jennie be attending the event as part of the cast? Officially, nothing has been confirmed yet, as Jennie has a pretty busy schedule with BLACKPINK’s commitments. BLACKPINK is becoming the first K-Pop act to headline Coachella this weekend, which is a huge milestone for them and their fans. Then they have Born Pink world tour shows in Mexico, where they will perform for thousands of Blinks.
Jennie has expressed her excitement and gratitude for being part of The Idol, saying that it was a great opportunity to learn from other actors and musicians. She also revealed that she will be using the stage name Jennie Ruby Jane for her acting career, which is a combination of her real name and her nickname among fans.
Fans are hoping that Jennie will be able to attend Cannes 2023 and walk the red carpet with her co-stars, as it would be a proud moment for her and for BLACKPINK. They are also looking forward to watching The Idol when it premieres on HBO later this year.
