Intrigued by its focus on the music industry, Jennie found herself captivated by the series from the very beginning.
"I thought I could bring something to the role. I trusted Sam to be collaborative with all the scenes that we would be working on together because it was about the industry."
Having been immersed in the industry since childhood, Jennie's journey to become a Korean idol included countless hours of rigorous training.
Reflecting on her experience, she confidently expressed that the character of Dyanne offered her a unique chance to embrace her true self and showcase her bravery.
It's unclear how much Jennie made from "The Idol" and how much Lisa will make for starring in "The White Lotus."
