And the teasers hint that Jennie might be playing a villain role.
Previously, sharp-eyed fans also noticed that in one of the trailers, Jennie was wearing a necklace with an angel pendant.
And since the name Angel is used in the trailer, fans suspected it might be Jennie’s character’s name.
Now fans seemingly have confirmation, as the Google results for The Idol have Jennie listed as playing Angel.
Similarly, some of the series’s staff have seemingly confirmed Jennie as a main character in the show, making her acting debut even more exciting.
The show’s main characters are listed as #JENNIE and Moses Sumney.
