When HBO's controversial new drama The Idol finally made its debut on the network on June 4, it became clear that the buzziest part of the series would be scene-stealer Jennie Ruby Jane. Better known as Jennie, member of K-pop group Blackpink (real name Jennie Kim), the multi-hyphenate is making her acting debut playing Dyanne, backup dancer and friend to the series' main character and pop superstar Jocelyn.
Jennie didn't have much screen time on the show, as her character only appeared in rehearsal scenes with Jocelyn and later in a party sequence (which also included a cameo from Euphoria star Alexa Demie). In her most notable scene, Dyanne stands in for Jocelyn to demonstrate the pop star's routine, and comforts Jocelyn when she's worried that she wouldn't put on a good performance. After the show aired, the two-minute dance scene made its way to YouTube. While Variety reported that The Idol pulled in 913,000 viewers on its first night, the YouTube clip has over two million views and counting.
