BLACKPINK’s Jennie’s Controversial Series Nominated at the Emmys

“The popular HBO production, “The Idol”, which stars music sensation Abel “The Weeknd”Tesfaye, actress and model Lily-Rose Depp (known for her famous father Johnny Depp), and BLACKPINK member Jennie, has recently been nominated for the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards in the category of “Outstanding Choreography”.

The choreography in “The Idol” has been a topic of both admiration and controversy, with some finding it too sensual. Specifically, Jennie’s scenes with male dancers and her revealing outfits have been perceived as suggestive, causing some viewers to feel embarrassed. This raised questions about why a well-known idol like Jennie would choose to take part in a project that portrays a distorted view of the music industry and the role of women.

“In 2023, “The Idol”caused a stir at its debut at the Cannes Film Festival, with its provocative and controversial content receiving harsh criticism. The reaction continued when the film aired on television, sparking heated discussions. Fans of Jennie were also disappointed by her minimal screen presence, lackluster performance, and confusing character development. As a result of the backlash, HBO made the decision not to produce any further seasons of “The Idol.”

The Wrap reports that “The Idol”will be vying for an Emmy at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, alongside other nominees such as “Only Murders in the Building,””Palm Royale,”and “Physical.”With a slight advantage, there is a possibility that “The Idol”may secure a golden statue for HBO.
