Shiloh Jolie's career is escalating now, making her professional on-camera debut last week in the newest music video for K-pop singer Dayoung.

Dayoung (born Im Da-young) dropped the video for her second ever solo single outside of the girl group WJSN, "What's a Girl to Do," on April 7, featuring 19-year-old Shiloh (who goes professional by "Shi") as one of her back-up dancers.

And it looks like the teen, the daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who has famously shied away from the spotlight, is thriving in the world of professional dance.

Shiloh in her element

A behind-the-scenes clip shared by Dayoung, 26, on April 9, which showed a lot of the making of the video, captured Shiloh's fun personality while enjoying some downtime with the others in the dance crew. Catch a glimpse of Shiloh's appearance in the video below...

The clip started off with the group chanting "what's a girl got to do?" and laughing together while eating candy, with Shiloh featuring here and there throughout the clip with the other dancers in the crew.

Other moments from the clip featured Dayoung walking fans through the filming, including the shoot going late into the night before sunrise at 5 AM and a cameo from fellow K-pop star (and The Traitors breakout) Eric Nam.

Meet Dayoung

Dayoung has been with WJSN since their inception in 2015, one of the 10 members of the popular girl group (WJSN originally started with 13, but three of the members departed in 2023). Their last release was the double-sided songs "Bloom Hour" and "Mirror" in February of 2026, to celebrate their 10th anniversary.

While she started making solo appearances outside of the group (as have other members) from 2020 on, her debut solo single and album was released in September 2025, titled "Body," with "What's a Girl to Do" serving as the direct sequel to it.

"Body" was released to immense critical acclaim last year, being listed in several publications' "best of" year-end lists, and was nominated for two prizes (including Song of the Year) at the 2025 MAMA Awards.

The Jolie family and privacy

In 2024, while promoting her movie Maria, Angelina was joined by her kids during press events (with her sons Maddox and Pax even working on the film), except for Shiloh. She told Good Morning America that all six of her children value their privacy, none more so than her teen daughter.

"None of my children want to be in front of the camera [at] this time," she said at the time. "They're quite private. Shiloh's extremely private." She continued: "They weren't born with privacy, right? So, I hope that they can have that as they grow old."

Shiloh has appeared in a few online dance and choreography videos on social media, although doesn't maintain a public presence. She also goes by the name "Shi" professionally to stand apart from her famous parents' identities. She will sometimes use "Shi Jolie," after a legal ruling in 2024 allowed her to drop the last name "Pitt."
