This post encapsulates the fears I had after watching the trailer. It was hard for me to believe that Jennie would play a significant role. Especially with Lily Rose Depp posed to play the central character, which is ironic considering that Jennie is an actual idol whereas Lily is..well Johnny Depp’s daughter. Based on what’s been said about the drama so far it seems that my worst fears are nearly confirmed: Jennie has been cast so that the drama can leverage her fame and her presence within the film is tokenistic at best.
Totally agree. It's also a big reason why I haven't even had the stomach to watch Euphoria, which I've heard is super gratuitous in its nude scenes. But I was willing to check out The Idol for Jennie just to support her. I do hope she finds better opportunities down the line should she be interested to explore this route later on.
