Jennie releases solo EP ‘Fallen Angel’ amid music video controversy
Jennie, a member of BLACKPINK, released her new solo EP, ‘Fallen Angel’, on August 28 via her label Odd Atelier and Columbia Records. The digital EP includes three tracks: ‘Fallen Angel’, ‘Heaven’, and ‘Less Than a Lover’. A physical CD version is scheduled for release on October 30, featuring three additional songs: ‘Sweettooth’, ‘Lockitdown’, and ‘Face’.
The release has seen significant commercial success, with Billboard reporting that the EP won 82% of the weekly new music poll, surpassing artists such as Olivia Rodrigo.
However, the music video for the title track has sparked controversy among netizens. Viewers have criticized certain scenes involving children in ritual-like settings, with some labeling the imagery as ‘satanic’ or ‘unsettling’. While some fans defend the visuals as cinematic and part of a dark, gothic aesthetic, others have raised ethical concerns regarding the depiction of minors in provocative contexts.
In addition to her musical release, Jennie has expanded her creative influence through a fashion collaboration with adidas Originals, featuring a balletcore-inspired collection presented in Los Angeles.
