How do you like Jennie Ruby Jane’s clubbing era? Days after Blackpink’s “Pink Venom” comeback, Jennie has surprised us with her stunning appearance in the newly released second trailer of HBO original series “The Idol,” which dropped on Aug. 21.
While we’ve seen Jennie looking fierce in her live performances and music videos, this time it seems that a new inner baddie character has been born.
HBO officially announced the casting of Jennie in the show last July 18. In the sneak peek, we get drawn to Jennie Kim together with Lily-Rose Depp’s nightclub agenda. As seen in the trailer, Lily asks Jennie: “What was the name of that club?” in a steaming sauna. The typically cool Jennie responds with a surprisingly devilish grin.
The new series is created by Abel Tesfaye (a.k.a. The Weeknd), Reza Fahim, and “Euphoria’s” Sam Levinson. This drama follows an intriguing modern cult leader who develops a tangled relationship with a rising pop star. Also sneaking in the trailer are Troye Sivan, Suzanna Son, Moses Sumney, Jane Adams, Dan Levy, Eli Roth, Rachel Sennott, Hari Nef, Da’vine Joy Randolph, Mike Dean, Ramsey, Hank Azaria, and The Weeknd himself.
