Why can't Jennie and Lisa get in more important roles and genres in Hollywood?
-
-
-
Their priority isn’t there.
-
-
Because they can't act?
-
-
They are asian singers

What kind of stupid...
-
Why would they?
First lack of roles for people of Asian features,
Second lack of serious acting chops. If that is required, Hollywood would tap credible actresses, like Dae Doona has been, Hyojoo etc.,
All idols bring to table is pre-built popularity with a segment of population. Not that critical to an industry which is moving away from relying on its own stars.
So they maybe offered some vanity projects for the brand. Very few of that around.

As users have already said it, they are not actresses, they lack the training and experience needed for bigger roles.

They always get roles in half-document series. Why not in genres like horror, sci-fi, fantast and such?
You could ask this about 99% of Hollywood, basically. Just because Blackpink is overhyped doesn't mean they deserve better roles than actual actors whom are working in this industry for twice as many years. Or much more.
It's already a massive achievement that both of them got a role in HBO TV Shows. They can use their connections, that's why they got those roles, but if they are not good actors, they won't get important roles. Simple as that. HBO literally using them as baits, but "The Idol" flopped hard, not that it was Jennie's fault, tho. It was a hot garbage show. Lisa on the other hand is luckier, because she's featured in an already popular and well-received show, and she's not a main lead.

A few reasons
1. Most of the roles they have gotten/will get are due to nepotism not talent. They know the right people,l
2. Sadly Asians are still underrepresented in Hollywood and there just isn’t really a space for them outside of the “side character”.
3. Neither of them come off as actors. Jennie did great in the idol, but I think that’s as far as it goes, I can’t imagine her carrying a movie or being the main star in her own tv show.
4. Lisa, well we haven’t seen her act yet, but truthfully I doubt it’s going to be some snow stopping performance, it’ll probably just be her playing as herself (like always)
Also I don’t think either of them are prioritising it, they seem to be chasing more western music success vs in the acting industry
