Congratulations to BLACKPINK's JENNIE and the cast of "The Idol"!
A bit of knowledge "engagement" is anyone mentioning the show good or bad. Including calling it trash and your claiming that a victory?

If proof copium is real was ever needed, this article is it. Various media giving it praise and your proof is Twitter links to AKP user articles? Critics hated it and audiences called it an over sexualised ego trip by The Weeknd.

The show didn't last one season, and last time you took engagement numbers from Succession and claimed them for Jennie. Talk about copium.
