BLACKPINK’s Jennie Kim aka Dyanne from The Idol is really making some noise in the show. With the latest episode of the series, we got to see a different side to the character of this South Korean singer and rapper that we were not ready for.
The singer made her acting debut with The Idol using the stage name Jennie Ruby Jane and, as much as we are loving the use of her new name, we are smitten by her dancing, acting and, now even singing in the show! The latest HBO series is created by the music world icon The Weeknd, along with Reza Fahim, and Euphoria’s Sam Levinson. Levinson directs the drama under the production company banners of The Reasonable Bunch, Manic Phase, Little Lamb, People Pleaser, Bron, A24 and HBO Entertainment.
The members include Lily-Rose Depp as Jocelyn, Abel Tesfaye aka The Weeknd as Tedros along with Suzanna Son as Chloe, Troye Sivan as Xander, Moses Sumney as Izaak, Jane Adams as Nikki Katz, Dan Levy as Jocelyn’s publicist, Eli Roth as Andrew Finkelstein, Rachel Sennott as Leia, Hari Nef as Talia, Da’Vine Joy Randolph as Destiny, Hank Azaria as Chaim, Melanie Liburd as Jenna, Kate Lyn Sheil as Amy alongside Tunde Adebimpe, Elizabeth Berkley, Nico Hiraga, Anne Heche, Maya Eshet, Tyson Ritter, Liz Caribel Sierra, Karl Glusman, Sophie Mudd, Charly Summer, Mitch Modes and more.
The Idol Episode 2 titled Double Fantasy released on June 12, 2023. It has a runtime of 49 minutes and is directed by Sam Levinson, with a story by Abel Tesfaye and Sam Levinson and a teleplay by Sam Levinson. In the new episode, a lot happened in Jocelyn’s life. The show did take a leap with this episode as we see our main character go through some important changes and struggles but, it is Jennie’s Dyanne that attracts you all of a sudden in a whirlpool of villainous conspiracies.
Is BLACKPINK Jennie Kim the Villain in HBO’s The Idol?
At this point, we would say, a loud yes! When Joss shoots the music video for I’m a Freak, we see how she is pushing all her buttons while she is clearly not doing well. But, there is something more. Dyanne continues to shine as a brilliant dancer in the video and it is not miss Nikki’s eye who is already fed-up with Joss’ mood swings targeted towards her career.
Nikki asks Dyanne to sing, which Dyanne does beautifully and, in a blink of an eye she is picked to be the next popstar almost. In fact, after the shoot is over, Dyanne is called by Nikki to discuss something in the presence of Talia, letting the journalist know that she will find a bigger story here.
The story gets all the more twisted when later in the episode we see Dyanne meet with Tedros! Turns out it is Tedros who planted Dyanne in Jocelyn’s life. We are not sure what is the motive yet but, looks like a power move to get things in Tedros’ quote. This particular scene also comes with some amazing line delivery from our very own Shy Pink that would leave you stunned.
The theories circulating on the internet right now point that two things. One of them is if Jennie’s Dyanne is Tedros’ girlfriend or not. The second one is rather interesting where fans think that the leaked photo of Joss in the first episode comes from Dyanne being a snitch and going behind everyone’s back to bring them trouble.
As of now, these are only theories and the only confirmation will come in the future episodes. Meanwhile, you can watch The Idol now streaming on Max.
