The latest episode of The Idol titled Stars Belong To the World (rough translation: The stars belong to the world). Episode 4 continues to have shocking moments. One of them is the scene where Tedros (The Weeknd) blindfolds, gropes and stimulates Jocelyn (Lily-Rose Depp) while she is singing in the studio in front of many people.

Many netizens expressed their objection to this scene, but the character was criticized for changing from the male lead to the female lead. They commented that Jocelyn was gradually turning from victim to villain.
“Jocelyn might as well be just a prostitute. All she does is walk around naked, smoke all the time and mess things up. This character has potential but now it’s too wasteful.”
“Jocelyn really changed my mind. Now I don’t like her. She loves being abused and is very problematic.”
“Yes, Tedros is crazy, but is Jocelyn the main villain?”
In addition to the “sex” scene with Tedros, Jocelyn also made the audience “hot” with the image of provocative lingerie and sex with her ex-lover Rob (Karl Glusman), while her current boyfriend stood outside to eavesdrop. .
As for The Weeknd, he continued to be criticized for his acting. However, his character’s identity is clarified in the new episode. Jocelyn’s manager, Destiny (Da’Vine Joy Randolph), becomes suspicious of Tedros and orders an investigation. The leader of the cult, whose real name is Mauricio Costello Jackson, was born in the slums. He was in prison about 10 years ago for kidnapping his girlfriend and torturing her for 3 days.
While the two co-stars faced negative reactions from the audience, Jennie (BlackPink) received praise. After the first episodes focused only on showing “flesh” and erotic choreography, the acting ground for the character Dyanne increased significantly in the new episode.
Unlike Jocelyn who indulged in sensuality, Dyanne strives for a career and is noticed by record label executives. The scene waiting to meet the company’s leaders, even though there are no lines, through facial expressions and body movements, Jennie shows nervousness, hesitation and fear. From her reserved smile when entering the meeting room to her sparkling eyes when she was asked to sign a contract, Jennie showed a clear improvement in acting.
The character Dyanne is said to be using Jocely to advance in the entertainment industry. She was also labeled a villain when she revealed her “inside” identity planted by Tedros next to Jocelyn. However, the act of going to the female lead to ask for advice on whether to sign a recording contract does not make the audience have a different view and more curious about Dyanne’s nature.

Many netizens pointed out that Jennie’s acting helps portray the character of Dyanne with much more depth than the usual villain, with internal conflicts through words, behavior and facial expressions.
“We saw more of Jennie. Everyone realizes she has acting potential. It’s time to win, baby.”
“My girl, acting 10/10. Expresses nervousness, expectations, vulnerability, and apprehension. Jenny, you did a great job.”
“God, Jennie’s acting is crazy. Tell me is there anything she can’t do? I really fell in love with her.”
