Jennie's 'The Idol' scene continues to drum up criticism

Article: Jennie's actor debut 'The Idol'... "Disrespectful, dirty, indecent" negative reviews

Source: Seoul Economy via Naver

[+3,354, -42] She looked dirty

[+2,328, -53] She's basically ripping up everything she's built up with Black Pink with her own hands

[+1,476, -29] I just have no idea why she would ever agree to such a low-rate drama like this.....

[+829, -29] It's not like she went into filming without having read the scenario beforehand... She and her agency chose this... so they have to accept the criticisms. What a shame.

[+420, -2] The whole scene looked like some o*gy, it was disgusting

[+303, -3] Jennie's facial expression looked like some AV actress while dancing with those two men ㅜㅜ I hated it

[+222, -16] I don't even see why this is a problem... Jennie never had a classy face to begin with. This is a great fit for her...

[+201, -3] What do we expect from a culture that will take any scrap an "American advancement" will throw at us? Who do we have to blame than the people who chose to do such work?

[+188, -11] This is the level Jennie is at, basically. It's gross.

[+161, -1] Her and Whasa... people need to step in and stop them. They have no idea what the difference is between art and crossing the line.

[+160, -4] She's totally ripped up all of Black Pink's hard-earned image~ and to think she was out there on the red carpet like she was an actual movie star when she's nothing but a side character~ I don't think she'll be getting any more acting roles any time soon.

[+158, -2] I read that Jennie read the script and immediately wanted to it. Both Jisoo and Jennie are going to need to train a better eye for picking up future works. They're ruining the image quality of their group. Please gain some experience and stop picking up the first thing that you're offered. I'm sorry to say this but Jisoo just doesn't have the voice or tonality for acting. She has a pretty face so she should just be satisfied as being a girl group center. Jennie... shooting something like this makes her look gross, no matter how different she may be in real life ㅜ

[+151, -0] What is there to feel bad for? She specifically chose this drama herself. Her point is clear - this is how she wants to represent Asian stars in Western works. She has no problem playing up their version of the Asian fantasy. She's kind of dumb.. and perhaps should learn to be less greedy if she wants a longer running career. 

[+154, -4] At the end of the day, Jennie and YG chose this. No one forced her. It's unfair to talk about her as if she sacrificed anything to take this on. 

[+143, -3] It's such a clear example of how the Western audience views Asian women. I don't see why a popular K-Pop star such as herself would ever feel the need to accept such a role. What a shame.

[+71, -1] It'd be fine if she actually looked sexy in it but....

[+51, -11] Quite an explicit example of how Americans view Korean women

[+40, -4] She's quite greedy for the fame... just like how she left GD for V..

[+34, -1] ㅠㅠ I don't know why she'd throw away all the honor she worked hard to build for this~~~ We can brag about how big K-Pop is becoming all over the world but at the end of the day, foreigners have no problem devaluing K-Pop stars to this level. 

[+27, -0] Jennie's face, eyes are so gross when she's adncing with the two men. I don't know why she had to go this far.

[+30, -4] V, wake up~~~~~

[+24, -0] An embarrassment to the country

[+18, -1] Her facial expressions looked quite experienced ㅋ

[+18, -1] YG is going to have to reflect a lot over this. They crumbled her image overnight.

[+16, -0] Amazing that she even made it to Cannes over a 10-minute-long dance ㅋㅋㅋ

[+15, -0] This clip can be best described as just "dirty"
