Following the 24 July 2026 release of her solo single ‘Less Than a Lover,’ Jennie has released her digital EP ‘Fallen Angel’ via her agency, OA Entertainment (Odd Atelier) and Columbia Records. The project, described by the agency as a “deeply personal work rooted in authentic self-expression,” features three tracks: ‘FALLEN ANGEL’, ‘HEAVEN’, and ‘Less than a Lover’. A physical CD edition, scheduled to ship around 30 October, includes three exclusive tracks: ‘sweettooth’, ‘lockitdown’, and ‘Face’. The title track is accompanied by a cinematic music video utilizing a dark fairytale and gothic aesthetic. The video incorporates elements of contrast through light and dark color palettes, organza materials, and 1920s flapper-style influences to portray a dualistic character. While a disclaimer notes that all fire effects were created using visual effects (VFX) and that all scenes involving minors were filmed in a safe, supervised environment, the imagery has sparked new controversy. Netizens have criticized certain scenes involving children in ritual-like settings, with some labeling the imagery as ‘satanic’ or ‘unsettling’. Recent reports highlight specific visual elements, such as children in white robes and red veils, candles, and thorny bushes, which have led critics to describe the scenes as ‘eerie and ritualistic’ or ‘disturbing’ rather than artistic. While fans defend the visuals as cinematic, others have raised ethical concerns regarding the depiction of minors in provocative contexts. ~~This follows earlier criticism regarding potential plagiarism in teaser posters.~~ Despite the controversy, the EP has seen significant commercial interest. Notably, ‘Fallen Angel’ topped Billboard’s weekly new music poll, securing more than 82% of the total vote. Additionally, Jennie has expanded her creative influence through a balletcore-inspired fashion collaboration with adidas Originals presented in Los Angeles.
