How ‘The Idol’ Will Help Jennie From Blackpink’s Music Career

Jennie, one of the talented members of the popular band Blackpink, has taken on a new challenge by starring in the TV show The Idol, which is helmed by none other than The Weeknd. While the initial response to the show has been mixed among critics and fans, it has undeniably performed well in terms of ratings. This newfound exposure has propelled Jennie to unprecedented levels of fame and success, and the windfall she’ll reap from her involvement in the series extends beyond her acting career.

The attention she garners through The Idol is bound to have a positive effect on the music Jennie already has out in the world. Whether it is her work with Blackpink or her solo venture—aptly titled Solo—both are likely to experience a surge in streams and sales in the coming weeks. Depending on the magnitude of this growth, they may even make their mark on various charts worldwide.

One of the significant advantages for Jennie lies in the opportunity to introduce herself to millions of viewers who may not be familiar with her work. While she is already a star in South Korea and the K-pop field, The Idol allows her to expand her fan base on a global scale. As viewers of the show and those who read about her online rush to listen to her music, her own work and Blackpink’s art have the potential to gain increased streams and sales.

Furthermore, Jennie’s involvement in The Idol sets her up for success in whatever she chooses to pursue next, which undoubtedly includes music. As her star continues to rise following the show, Jennie will have a better chance at surpassing her previous solo success. Several years ago, she became the first member of Blackpink to release music on her own, but now, with her increased visibility and the changing landscape of the industry, the future looks especially promising for Jennie’s solo career.

While Blackpink is not scheduled to release any new material immediately, the group is also poised to benefit from Jennie’s heightened profile. If Blackpink does make a comeback in the coming months or even a year, their popularity may reach new heights thanks in part to Jennie’s participation in The Idol.

The cherry on top of Jennie’s collaboration with The Weeknd on The Idol is the announcement of the show’s soundtrack album, set to release later in June. The Weeknd has already shared several songs from the album, and there is a possibility that he and Jennie have collaborated on a track. Such a collaboration between these two musical powerhouses would undoubtedly become an instant hit, providing Jennie with a tremendous boost in her solo career.

Whether it’s in that moment or as she ventures into future musical endeavors, be it solo or with Blackpink, the association with one of the world’s biggest musical stars will undoubtedly benefit Jennie in immeasurable ways.
