Blackpink's Jennie joins Sam Levinson and The Weeknd's HBO ... (The A.V. Club)

The "sleaziest love story in Hollywood" officially has a real life idol in the cast.

Though the project advertises itself as coming “from the sick and twisted minds” of it’s creators, the most sick and twisted things we see onscreen are semi-nudity, fake cocaine, and the gaudiest of Beverly Hills mansions. Although fans of Euphoria or The Weeknd’s music videos will recognize the blinding lights and bass-heavy soundtrack of the project, the trailer leaves quite a lot to the imagination. Who better to join the cast of Sam Levinson and The Weeknd’s The Idol than a literal idol?

HBO confirmed Blackpink singer Jennie Kim is starring opposite Abel "The Weeknd" Tesfaye and Lily Depp in the Sam Levinson series The Idol.

The series looks decidedly raunchier than Sam Levinson's other HBO show Euphoria, with the actors doing lines of cocaine and provocatively dancing in the trailer. The Idol marks one of Jennie's first ever acting roles, although it's not the first time she's been in front of the camera, of course. With the cat out of the bag, HBO confirmed July 18 that the K-pop singer is a cast member, sharing a behind-the-scenes photo of Jennie on set.
