“BARBIE OF SWAN LAKE!”: Fans react to the D-2 poster of BLACKPINK Jennie’s ‘Fallen Angel’

Two days ahead of her debut EP’s release, BLACKPINK’s Jennie dropped a D-2 poster for Fallen Angel on social media, alongside the pre-order link for its CD.

In the poster, the DRACULA singer appears to be floating in the air in a flowy dress, over a lake full of swans. The backdrop is shadowy, colored in shades of pink and purple.

Netizens have been gushing over the aesthetics of the poster. Here are some of the reactions:

“This is giving BARBIE OF SWAN LAKE! as a barbie girlie, i freaking love this concept JENNIE!”

Some netizens praised the styling behind the poster, while others complimented its atmosphere, lending an otherworldly vibe to the EP.

The atmosphere of the photo is simply otherworldly. JENNIE floating amidst the mist and water creates a cinematic aesthetic worthy of a fantasy movie. I’m excited for the release of FALLEN ANGEL 🌌💜

Jennie’s Fallen Angel will be digitally released on Friday, August 28, at 12 AM EDT (1 PM KST). The EP features three tracks, one of which was released earlier in late July: Less than a Lover, HEAVEN, and FALLEN ANGEL.

For the unversed, the 30-year-old isn’t the only BLACKPINK member who has new music coming out this year. On Monday, August 24, fellow bandmembers LISA and Jisoo also announced their own EPs. LISA‘s EP is titled PRESS PLAY, and is slated to release on October 23, 2026. Its lead single, SaWaDiKa, will drop next week – on September 3.

On the same day, Jisoo announced her upcoming single, CLICK, which is also set to release next week – on September 4. The track will serve as a pre-release of the singer’s first full-length album, which might come later this year.


Jennie co-created ballet-inspired sneakers in collaboration with adidas

After eight years of being an adidas ambassador, Jennie is set to launch her own collection with the German sportswear company as a dramatic reimagination of their classic shell-toe silhouette.

The new design – labeled JENNIE x adidas Superstar Square Ballet – retains the original Superstar’s foundation. However, its signature shell toe has been modified to have a squared-off profile, with its traditional laces replaced by an elastic strap across the midfoot and a small bow attached near the forefoot to signify the ballet influence.

The model comes in two contrasting colors: off-white and black. Inside it are two stitched labels – an adidas Originals Trefoil and Jennie’s personal branding.

The new collection also furthers the company’s broader push toward flat, slip-on footwear. According to HYPEBEAST, the sneakers will be available in Korea on September 1.

The SOLO singer has been starring in several Superstar and Gazelle campaigns by adidas for years. In 2026, she was featured in an adidas Originals ad alongside global celebrities like Kendall Jenner, Baby Keem, James Harden, Samuel L. Jackson, Lamine Yamal, Olivia Dean, and Tyshawn Jones.

Other brands that have named Jennie their global brand ambassadors include:

  • Chanel – a French luxury fashion house
  • Vaseline – an American skincare brand
  • Tamburins – a South Korean luxury fragrance and cosmetics brand
  • Ray-Ban – an Italian-owned luxury eyewear brand originally founded in the US
  • Calvin Klein – a New York-based American fashion brand

Jennie had revealed in a 2026 Cosmopolitan interview that she wanted to take a break from music after her EP’s release to travel and relax. Whether or when this break begins remains to be seen.
