On July 17, the Television Academy announced the nominations for the 76th Emmy awards where the HBO series "The Idol" received a nomination for "Outstanding Choreography for a Scripted Program".
The nomination is attributed to the show's viral rehearsal music video scene, which starred BLACKPINK's Jennie and Lily-Rose Depp dancing to the song "World Class Sinner," choreographed by Nina McNeely.
In the choreography category for a scripted series, “The Idol” will compete with “Only Murders in the Building,” directed by John Carrafa, “Palm Royale,” directed by Brooke Lipton, and “Physical,” directed by Jennifer Hamilton.

In 2023, the influential American magazine Forbes mentioned that Jennie would play an important role in the series "The Idol" and should be honored at the Emmy Awards thanks to her acting prowess as a versatile actress and her dance skills". This article was taken at that time with a lot of skepticism by the haters, however now in 2024 the "Jenkarma" would be present and the choreography nominated for the EMMY Award is precisely the dance segment of chapter 1 that Jennie instantly went viral on TikTok, where many young people, showed their skills to enthusiastically replicate the seductive choreography of the BLACKPINK member.

Many news media have attributed the success of "The Idol" is due to Jennie from BLACKPINK since, thanks to her participation, the series had a lot of visibility worldwide, achieving an audience of more than 913,000 viewers in its debut, becoming the HBO program most viewed at that time. A curious fact to take into account and that demonstrates Jennie's impact on the series is that the clips cut from the Korean superstar often had more views than the episodes of "The Idol" themselves.





Thanks to Jennie, the popularity of "The Idol" placed it at the top of the online TV series charts in engagement, outperforming shows on established platforms such as Netflix and NBC. In addition, "The Idol" triumphed over the hits 'The Last of Us' and 'Wednesday' occupying the first place in online engagement score for television shows since January 2022, according to Television Stats for more than 30 consecutive days. This recognition and her impeccable performance led Jennie to be named "Best Actress in an International Series" at the 2024 SEC Awards in Brazil.
