BLACKPINK has supported their YG Entertainment juniors BABYMONSTER long before their debut. While Lisa surprised Chiquita and Pharita with a taste of their home country and gifts…
…Rosé also gave them something meaningful by praising their talent and hard work, especially for one member.
Rose | @roses_are_rosie/Instagram
In Haram‘s introduction video, she revealed that Rosé was her role model and recalled when the idol sat in on her monthly evaluation.
Haram performed in front of Rosé during a 2019 monthly evaluation where she “was so nervous” she thought she “didn’t do well.” Rosé’s words expressed the opposite.
As Haram bowed to thank Rosé, the idol praised the trainee for skillfully using her voice.
Your voice is great, and I think you know how to control it. The husky voice that comes out every now and then is amazing too.
— Rosé
Since Rosé is often praised for her unique vocals by other idols and celebrities, her praise for Haram is even more meaningful.
Since it was announced last year that BLACKPINK‘s Jennie would make her acting debut in the new HBO series The Idol, created by The Weeknd, Reza Fahim, and Euphoria‘s Sam Levinson, BLINKs have been excited for her.
LILY-ROSE DEPP AS a glamorous, troubled pop star. The Weeknd as a slimy, modern cult leader. Supporting roles for Blackpink’s Jennie, Troye Sivan, and a handful of other buzzy stars. And in-demand director Sam Levinson at the helm. For months, the hype machine has been at full tilt for HBO’s upcoming series The Idol, which is being billed as a darker, crazier, and more risqué version of Levinson’s smash-hit Euphoria.

Yet, there are some serious concerns surrounding The Idol.
Right off the bat, with the first teaser trailer, HBO was called out for cultural appropriation. It appeared that Jennie had been styled with cornrows.

That’s not all, though. Levinson has a reputation for oversexualizing people, especially women, and The Idol was proving to be no better.
sam levinson’s obsessjon with nudity and oversexualization of his female leads needs to be studied cuz this is not normal https://t.co/2kFgsc5pMs
Now, a recent report by Rolling Stone proves that fans’ concerns were more than valid.
Levinson and Abel ‘The Weeknd’ Tesfaye are the ‘sick and twisted minds’ behind the ‘sleaziest love story in all of Hollywood’ (HBO’s words) that follows pop superstar Jocelyn (Depp) as she navigates the seedy underbelly of the music industry and falls under the spell of Tedros (Tesfaye), a mysterious owner of a popular L.A. nightclub who secretly runs a cult reminiscent of NXIVM and Scientology.

Rolling Stone published a long article exposing how The Idol has gone horribly “off the rails.” While the show was always intended to be risque, “It was, let’s just say, a shitshow,” according to production sources since Levinson took over as director following Amy Seimetz’s departure.
The first public inkling of trouble came last April, when director Amy Seimetz, of The Girlfriend Experience and She Dies Tomorrow, suddenly exited with roughly 80 percent of the six-episode series finished. HBO addressed the news by confirming The Idol was set to have a major creative overhaul and would be adjusting the cast and crew. There was little explanation for the shakeup, except for reports that Tesfaye, who is co-creator, felt the show was heading too much into a ‘female perspective.’
— Rolling Stone
Consequently, the release of The Idol has been delayed, and production sources report they have no idea when it will air as there have been numerous “delays, reshoots, and rewrites.” A source informed Rolling Stone that originally, the show was intended to premiere “last fall, taking over the Sunday time slot left open by House of the Dragon, which ended in October.” Now, the hope is for “later this year.”
In interviews with 13 members of the show’s cast and crew, Rolling Stone has learned the drastic delay was caused by Levinson taking over as director and scrapping the nearly-finished $54-75 million project to rewrite and reshoot the entire thing.

With Levinson in charge and Seimetz gone, The Idol has come to be about one thing: sex. There had been a meaningful message in The Idol, but sources say that the show’s nudity and “disturbing content” is even worse than his famous HBO series Euphoria, which says a lot. What crew have reported concerning the sexual content of the show is even more terrible than netizens could have expected.
‘What I signed up for was a dark satire of fame and the fame model in the 21st century,’ one production member explains. ‘The things that we subject our talent and stars to, the forces that put people in the spotlight and how that can be manipulated in the post-Trump world.’ However, they add, ‘It went from satire to the thing it was satirizing.’
‘It was like any rape fantasy that any toxic man would have in the show — and then the woman comes back for more because it makes her music better,’ one production member explains of Levinson’s version.
— Rolling Stone
| HBO
Still, that’s not all that was exposed concerning The Idol. Even Jennie’s participation was a topic of the exposé.

When the first teaser was released for The Idol, it appeared that Jennie might have been just a cameo role. But when more trailers were released, Jennie appeared prominently in scenes with the lead actress Lily-Rose Depp, so it looked like she had a significant supporting role.

BLINKs were pleasantly surprised to see Jennie’s acting debut would be more than a mere cameo. It also was exciting for the LGBTQIA+ community as her character was reportedly bisexual.
However, Rolling Stone has exposed that Jennie’s part is not as great as we thought. In reality, she was simply used for clout. It also wouldn’t be a surprise if we find out upon the show’s release that they even queer-baited audiences with her character.
Levinson then upped the cast’s star power even more throughout filming, with the additions of Bodies Bodies Bodies breakout Rachel Sennott, Dan Levy, Hank Azaria, Moses Sumney, and megaproducer Mike Dean. Casting K-pop superstar Jennie of Blackpink was the biggest get for Levinson. Under the show’s hashtag and teaser trailers, her stans steamrolled comment sections to cheer on the singer in her first acting role.
— Rolling Stone
| HBO
The Idol crew members revealed that Jennie, unfortunately, does not have much screen time, and her character doesn’t truly make a difference to the storyline, although there were reports that she was an antagonist. According to the source, she barely got to speak.
But crew members claim Jennie has barely any air time and an inconsequential story arc. ‘It was like three or four lines per episode for her,’ a production source says. ‘They didn’t let her talk that much. Her job was to sit there [and] look pretty, basically.’
— Rolling Stone
| HBO
So, it sounds like Jennie was really exploited. Considering the direction the show has gone, it’s rather unfortunate that she has to appear in it all. She doesn’t deserve to have her name attached to a show that is not only exploiting her but women, period.

Since his departure, fans have rediscovered a recent interview where Cha Eunwoo gave his feelings about the group’s separation.
| @offclASTRO/Twitter
In an interview with My Daily, Eunwoo discussed several things, including his surprising opinion on his looks and how he feels when he gets compliments.
When the group’s seventh anniversary came up in the interview, Eunwoo addressed the issue of contract renewals directly.
Some have it figured out and some don’t. Contracts are a sensitive topic, so we are also communicating with the company directly.
— Cha Eunwoo
Fans recalling this interview were most comforted by his following statement about how the group would interact with each other in the future.
We will see each other for the rest of our lives, no matter what we choose. Because of that, we don’t worry about each others contracts too deeply.

Known for “friendzoning” his fans on multiple occasions, he constantly refers to ARMY as his best friends.
However, there was once a fan who even made V blush with her suave words!
During a fansign event, a fan approached V and was ready to give him some constructive criticism.
Taehyung-ah, you’re doing well in every aspect except for one and I hope you can fix it.
— ARMY
Always wanting to do his best for his fans, V was interested in what the ARMY had to say.
Huh? Please tell me!
— V
However, she slipped in a smooth pick-up line — and he totally wasn’t ready!
My heart.
— ARMY
V shyly pulled his adorable hat over his eyes and covered his face with hands. It takes a lot to make V blush, so this fan has some smooth flirting skills!
Ah, please don’t do this to me… *blush*
— V

taehyung-ah, you're doing well in every aspect except for one and I hope you can fix it
A KORAIL employee recently felt criticized when it was reported that they had abused their authority to invade BTS RM‘s privacy. They had looked up his personal information, including his phone number and address linked to the ticket booking. Not only that, they also purposely looked up his seat so that they could run into him on the train.
I checked RM’s reservation details and I went to see him in person.
My friend informed me where RM was sitting so that I could pick a nearby seat.
— KORAIL employee
In reaction to this, RM merely reposted the news with an emoji.
In contrast to RM’s firm but calm demeanor, Korean fans are absolutely outraged on his behalf.
Netizen reactions to the news. | theqoo
“I wouldn’t even blame him if he started hating humankind… But then again, I know he’s not such a person, so it makes me sad. I think they definitely need to take legal action for this. They need to be financially punished for them to get it together.”
“He’ll probably get so disillusioned…”
“I hope it ends up with HYBE suing them. I hope for strong financial punishment.”
“Namjoon-ah… HYBE, please sue them!!”
“F*ck, he’ll be so disillusioned… Stop stealing Namjoon’s respites.”
“He must have it so hard…”
“He must be so dumbfounded and angry…”
Many are incredibly concerned about RM’s mental health. This is not the first time that RM has had his privacy invaded. Previously, a monk at one of RM’s beloved temple stays gave an interview to the media.
BTS‘s J-Hope is set to release his solo single “On The Street” this Friday, March 3 at 2 PM KST (12 AM EST).
Most recently, he released a series of concept photos capturing the “street” vibe…
…and of course, showing off his handsome visuals!
The “street” concept refers to both the place his dream began (as a street dancer) and the road that he will continue to walk with fans.
As reported by Kpop Herald, “The song, contributed in melody and lyrics by J-Hope, will be a chill lo-fi hip-hop genre with heartwarming lyrics about J-Hope’s journey on the story. The song will also come with a MV.”
Additionally, J-Hope released notices on how to pre-save and pre-order the song before its release.
BTS‘s V was recently announced as the newest brand ambassador of a huge company.

On February 28 (KST), firm SimInvest, one of Indonesia’s biggest financing advisory firms, released a series of posts teasing their new ambassador. Although no names were mentioned, ARMYs could recognize V’s silhouette immediately.
Luckily, ARMYs didn’t have to wait long as March 1 signaled the official announcement of V’s brand ambassador role.
Mulai hari ini SimInvest resmi punya bestie baru lho!
During a live broadcast, they made a huge deal of announcing V as the newest ambassador, and although he wasn’t there, the cheers from ARMY could be heard.
Along with the reveal, the first content involving V was released on social media. Yet, it was the commercial that truly went viral across the world.
The commercial rightly sent the internet into a meltdown after V showcased his legendary visuals and charisma throughout.
Yet, while V’s commercial is truly legendary, it shouldn’t be surprising that SimInvest picked the idol because they seem to have a reputation for picking iconic Korean stars.
Before V was the ambassador for the company, it was a role held by none other than famous actor Hyun Bin.

Back in 2021, Hyun Bin was announced as the brand ambassador for the company with the theme “I am an Investor.”

While V’s commercial was smooth, sleek, and sophisticated, Hyun Bin had an equally legendary debut for the company. With cameos from others, Hyun Bin’s commercial was sleek, high-tech, and perfect for the actor.
From there, like V will in the future, Hyun Bin continued to create content for the company, moving from being a successful CEO to radiating boyfriend vibes.
After realizing whose shoes V would be following in, netizens couldn’t get over the legendary standards the company had. From one of the top actors to one of the top idols, it seems like SimInvest has a type and knows how much star power can impact the company.
Three things about Kim Taehyung is that he is unpredictable and that he is booked and busy

So Kim Taehyung was hinted as the new global ambassador of SimInvest, an online stock investment application in Indonesia and the previous GA was Actor Hyunbin pic.twitter.com/VmXvPgfMug

It seems like SimInvest know how to pick its ambassadors, and the fact that both gained attention for their legendary commercials proves that both V and Hyun Bin were perfect choices.
