 Jennie, a member of the girl group BlackPink has been cast in the US HBO's new drama series 'The Idol', her agency YG Entertainment reported. She also appears in BlackPink's documentary 'Light up the sky'. I expect that she will appear in other Korean films after the drama. Some filmmakers in Korea will pass on the movie screenplay to the other member of Black Pink. The drama is about the American music industry. Best of luck to her in the future.
