I Don't Want to Rely on My Mother's Fame": Dayoung Praises Shiloh Jolie's Independent Spirit

WJSN’s Dayoung has opened up about working with none other than Shiloh Jolie in her latest solo music video. The revelation, shared during her appearance on MBC’sOmniscient Interfering View” on May 23, highlights the 19-year-old’s fierce determination to forge her own identity away from Hollywood’s brightest spotlight.

Shiloh, daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, auditioned openly in the United States for the “What’s a Girl to Do” video alongside roughly 700 other hopefuls. Producers initially had doubts when the tall, model-like dancer showed up in casual attire that didn’t scream “performer.” “We thought she looked more like a model and wondered if she had dance experience,” Dayoung recalled with a smile. But once the music started, Shiloh took command of the set, delivering sharp, powerful moves that left everyone impressed.

Filming took place in the bustling streets of downtown Los Angeles, where Shiloh credited simply as “SHI” nailed multiple outfit changes, from chic everyday looks to bolder sheer and leather ensembles paired with sleek French braids. Her natural grace and joyful energy shone through in behind-the-scenes clips, showing a young woman clearly passionate about dance rather than chasing headlines.

It wasn’t until after production wrapped that the team learned her famous lineage. True to her independent nature, Shiloh had specifically asked to drop her last name from the credits. Dayoung shared that the young dancer wanted to succeed purely on talent and hard work, saying she didn’t want to rely on her mother’s fame. Shiloh, who legally goes by Jolie since 2024 and trains with the respected dance crew “Culture,” continues to pursue opportunities on her own terms.

This unexpected collaboration has brought extra buzz to Dayoung’s solo release while spotlighting Shiloh’s grounded approach in an industry often defined by family legacies. Fans online are celebrating the moment as a win for authenticity, proving that sometimes the most compelling stories come from quiet confidence and real passion.
