LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'BlackPink' singer Jennie Kim's character Dyanne did not appear for a long time on the show 'The Idol'. Instead, her character arc was cut short in the finale by showing an end to her career. But, is the end of Dyanne's career a reflection of how Hollywood works? Do talented artists get played easily by the entertainment industry?

Dyanne realized by 'The Idol' Season 1's finale that her friend Jocelyn was not so friendly after all. In order to cement her own status in the industry and headline the tour, Jocelyn played with Dyanne's career. With the help of record label executive, Nikki Katz, Jocelyn holds up the release of Dyanne's songs so that no one can come even close to threatening her position as the next big pop idol. Seeing the behind the scenes politics, fans wondered whether getting played in the entertainment industry is so easy.



 

Was Dyanne's song release put on hold to promote Jocelyn's fame?

In the finale episode of 'The Idol', we saw Nikki sugarcoating the devastating information by praising Dyanne. She says, "Dyanne, I have to tell you here at Magistrate Records, we are so proud of all your hard work and you continue to amaze us." Dyanne, who did not think there was bad news ahead, thanked Nikki. However, the record label executive added, "But there's been a bit of hiccup, one of the writers, this guy, there's a legal problem." Trying to understand the situation Dyanne asks, "What do you mean?" Nikki replies, "We're going to have to hold the release of the song." In return, Dyanne said, "But you said I have a full team of legal support."

Consoling Dyanne, Nikki seems to show fake concern saying they want the issue to be resolved as well. Nikki further suggested Dyanne try writing her own song in the meantime. However, this did not seem the right option for Dyanne. She then walked Dyanne out of the room towards the lift, saying, "We will reach out and I will see you soon." Standing in the lift, Dyanne said, "It was Jocelyn, wasn't it?" And she is right — Jocelyn, who we realize is more manipulative than she appears, was the one who pushed Dyanne out of the running in order to bag all the fame.

'Hollywood is evil, Dyanne is just another victim'

Seeing Dyanne get played, one viewer tweeted, "A tragedy, my girl deserved better Hollywood is evil Dyanne is just another victim." A fan tweeted, "LEIA AND DYANNE DESERVED BETTER." "Dyanne's ending being an example that no matter how talented you are, in this industry there are only false promises," tweeted another concerned fan. Furthermore, one wrote, "Not only it’s degrading woman in general but also putting the #MeToo movement like a f*****g Hollywood lied." Another concerned viewer said, "How Jennie made me cry for Dyanne even though she was trying to take that girls career?....i was legit hurt...her sad face broke my heart."
