BLACKPINK member Jennie's recent Instagram post has left her fans, known as BLINKs, feeling regretful about her role in the recent HBO series "The Idol."

Despite being occupied with her idol activities, Jennie has been a popular topic of discussion in recent months due to her portrayal of Dyanne in the controversial series.

Although her role was not extensive, she managed to captivate viewers with her impressive dancing skills, undeniable presence, and expressive facial expressions.

On July 13, Jennie shared several photos from her time on the set of "The Idol." The snapshots showcased her exquisite makeup, the impressive set, and even a cute picture of her in a "sexy" outfit, with Jennie playfully censoring herself in an adorable manner.

The photos depicted Jennie having a great time and offered a glimpse into the various aspects of starring in such a massive production.

While fans enjoyed seeing Jennie's behind-the-scenes shots, it also evoked a sense of regret regarding her role. The photos revealed previously unseen details of Dyanne's character that fans had not noticed before, such as the subtle nuances in her appearance.

However, one particular photo highlighted the stark contrast between fans' expectations and the reality of Jennie's role.

In the photo, Jennie is seen perusing her script, and netizens couldn't help but notice that it was only a few pages long.

This discovery deepened their disappointment, as Jennie had been promoted as a main star and used for publicity, but her role turned out to be rather insignificant.

When the photos were shared online, netizens expressed their thoughts on Jennie's role. Some attempted to make jokes about the short script, but their comments were largely driven by their dissatisfaction with Jennie's debut acting role, which fell short of their expectations due to her limited screen time and the controversies surrounding the series.

Jennie's character was left in a cliffhanger, and there is no confirmation whether netizens will ever see more of Dyanne.

However, it is evident that netizens were disappointed with the way Jennie's casting and role were handled, although many expressed relief that she was not involved in the controversies surrounding the series.

Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
