Actress Angelina Jolie’s daughter Shiloh appears in K-pop singer Dayoung’s MV

Shiloh Jolie, the daughter of Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, is popping up in K-pop.

The 19-year-old made a surprise appearance in the music video for the song What’s A Girl To Do, performed by Dayoung of K-pop girl group WJSN.

The track is from the latter’s second solo two-song EP of the same name. While her first EP Body (2025) was driven by high-energy dance beats, What’s A Girl To Do leans into a softer R&B sound.

Shiloh is seen as one of the backup dancers in the MV, which dropped on April 7, and is listed as Shi in the credits.

Her appearance was previously hinted at in a teaser released on April 2. The clip features Dayoung, 26, performing a passionate dance with the dancers before Shiloh gets a brief close-up.

While the K-pop performer told The Korea Herald she felt confident about her new song, she was also aware that the genre shift might not resonate as immediately with listeners, which is why she focused on performance details to make up for that.

According to her, the choreography emphasises fast footwork and continuous movement. She also incorporated a hoodie as a key element in the choreography, tying the performance to April’s spring season while making it easier for listeners to engage with it through dance challenges.

A representative from Starship Entertainment, WJSN and Dayoung’s label, told South Korea’s Maeil Business Newspaper in a report published on April 3 that the production team held open auditions in the United States for the South Korean singer’s MV.

“Shiloh was selected in the final round and eventually participated in Dayoung’s music video,” said the representative. “We did not know that she was the child of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt until after filming, and we found that out only by chance recently.”

Shiloh is one of six children – three biological and three adopted – whom American actors Jolie, 50, and Pitt, 62, share.

The former celebrity couple were together for more than 10 years years before they married in 2014. She filed for divorce in 2016 and it was finalised in December 2024.

Shiloh legally changed her last name from Jolie-Pitt to Jolie in August 2024 after her 18th birthday in May 2024.
