'Chicken Shop Date' has become famous for its unusual celebrity interviews in fast-food restaurants

Chicken Shop Date is a British YouTube show produced and presented by Amelia Dimoldenberg. In 2014, the program began with a distinctive format in which Dimoldenberg interviews celebrities on what amounts to pretend "dates" at chicken shops, resulting in intentionally uncomfortable and straight-faced exchanges.

The interview format, which combines humor with random questions, has made the show a classic of internet media. Chicken Shop Date has had many celebrity guests, such as Ed Sheeran, Louis Theroux, and more recently, British actor Timothée Chalamet.

The series has received admiration for its quirky charm and has even received awards such as the Indie Series award at the Streamy Awards in 2022. With almost three million YouTube subscribers and viral videos often making the rounds on social media, the show has solidified itself as a must-see for entertainment and pop culture fans.

Jennie’s participation marks a significant moment, as it will be one of the first instances of a K-pop star appearing on the show. Her presence may introduce Chicken Shop Date to an even wider audience, given BLACKPINK’s strong international fanbase.

In addition to her music success, Jennie has entered the acting industry, appearing first in HBO's The Idol in 2023. She also frequently appears in fashion and high-end brand endorsements, as an ambassador for Chanel and Calvin Klein.

These sightings indicate that Jennie is continuing to broaden her horizons beyond the music industry, getting new exposure within the fashion, film, and television industries.

Fans are eager to see how Jennie will engage in the show's distinctive style

With Jennie’s participation in Chicken Shop Date, fans look forward to seeing a different side of her personality. The show’s comedic and often intentionally awkward conversations are vastly different from the polished, structured interviews usually associated with K-pop idols. A fan said,

"It's going to be so much fun"

while another said,

"Whoaa, with Amelia!"

indicating enthusiasm at how the encounter is going to go down. With Amelia Dimoldenberg's characteristic wit and Jennie's calm but playful attitude, the episode promises to provide a combination of dry wit, surprise reactions, and meme material.
