Jennie Kim is one of the biggest pop stars in the world, but she’s a newbie to the acting world. And there’s no better place to make a debut than the red carpet in Cannes, which she did Monday night for the gala premiere of “The Idol.”
“It’s overwhelming, but I’m grateful and thankful. All of those things at the same time,” said the star, who is better known by her first name. “Especially as it’s the first step in my acting career, I was honored to be able to come.”
To an extent that was her pop star nature, since this is a show that examines the nature of fame and devotion. It’s not lost on the audience that in Korea, pop stars are known as “idols.” But being on camera — and working against a seasoned actress like Depp — took her in a new direction. “It definitely was a challenge, because I’ve never experienced anything like that before. It was like, breaking a wall for me.”
Depp’s advice was simple, she said. “She just taught me to express myself and be comfortable with myself, to not be scared.”
