5 Ways Blackpink's Jennie Career Can Go After The Idol Controversy

Although HBO's The Idol has received its fair share of criticism from both professional film critics and viewers, Blackpink's Jennie, who plays the protagonist's dancer bestie under the name Dyanne, is shining in the spotlight. The reviews for her performance are favorable, and the singer's huge fan base is buzzing with excitement. But where does the 27-year-old star go from here?

Here are five ways Jennie's post-Idol career could unfold.

New Acting Gigs

Jennie's acting debut proved that she is a worthy participant in any Hollywood project. In addition to bringing in millions of fans that equal high ratings, she has a captivating screen presence, charming charisma, and natural acting talent to offer. The star told Elle last year that her experience on the set of The Idol was positive and that she was open to more acting roles.

Solo Music Career

The K-pop singer has a unique talent — her stage performances bring the biggest crowds to their feet. This, combined with her newfound Hollywood fame, gives Jennie the perfect opportunity to advance her solo career. Her debut release, Solo, came out in 2018 and proved to be a huge hit. Now is the best time to continue this journey.

Blackpink

Jennie remains a member of Blackpink and will undoubtedly continue to make music with the band. However, working with Blackpink should not be an obstacle to her solo endeavors. If anything, Jennie's individual success will only benefit the record-breaking K-pop group and expand their already massive audience.

Various Awards

Talking about the near future, it could be award-filled for Jennie. Her work on The Idol is being praised by everyone who watched the series, and there's no doubt that the rookie actress could get her first Emmy nomination this year. Also, if The Idol soundtrack includes Jennie's musical efforts, the Grammy nomination is a must.

Global Stardom

The last path Jennie can take after The Idol is not to choose and do it all. Blackpink, solo music career, and acting can all be pursued at the same time. Jennie is 100% committed and ambitious enough for that, and there's no doubt that the young star has all the chances to succeed in her race for global fame and pop culture dominance.
