According to international media, The Idol receives significant online attention and ranks first in viewership on HBO due to Jennie's presence.
According to Allkpop, Jennie is 'redefining the Kpop landscape' after her controversial performance in The Idol. Despite the controversies, the series remains the most watched program globally on HBO.
Contrary to criticism in South Korea, many international publications argue that this role demonstrates Jennie's versatility, marking her as a 'truly transformative figure in the entertainment industry'.
On its debut day, The Idol attracted 913,000 viewers on online platforms. BlackPink's fame immediately propelled it to the top of the online TV show rankings in terms of interaction, surpassing other major platforms.
Statistics show that The Idol leads in online attention and discussions, surpassing popular movies and series like Succession, The Croods: Family Tree, and Gotham Knight...
The production featuring Jennie currently ranks third in the top series with the most views on its debut day, just behind Euphoria and The White Lotus.
The series grabs audience attention thanks to Jennie's attention-grabbing choreography at the beginning of the film. The controversial dance clip alone has attracted 4.9 million views, not counting separately cut videos.
According to Mashable, Jennie faces criticism from South Korea's conservative group, expressing disappointment solely due to her role in the movie. However, regardless of controversy, the site believes Jennie will become even more famous after the film ends.
Jennie sparks controversy with her dance moves in the movie
According to Wikitree, Jennie's management company refrains from interfering with her acting in films, which leads to more criticism towards the idol. However, for some, this is just Jennie's role in the movie, not a reflection of the singer's true self. Some audience members crossing the line by insulting the singer's dignity are going too far.
Despite all controversies surrounding provocative choreography, everything related to Jennie in The Idol garners public attention, especially the costumes she wears in the film.
Jennie's appearance attracts fans to spend time researching the brand behind the outfits she wears in The Idol. TikTok user @sipteawithmelissa identifies the high-waisted trousers, priced at $64 (1.5 million VND), gaining hundreds of thousands of views. Korean media predicts the pants quickly selling out after the 'queen of sold-out' wears them in the globally notable film.
