Shiloh Jolie has made a notable appearance in a teaser for K-pop singer Dayoung’s upcoming music video. The 19-year-old is part of a group of backing dancers in a choreographed sequence for Dayoung’s single “What’s a Girl to Do,” which is set to release on Tuesday. The short teaser gives a glimpse of Shiloh, who appears with slicked-back hair, wearing a lacy brown top and hoop earrings.
Dayoung’s label, Starship Entertainment, revealed that Shiloh was cast through an open audition process and had no prior knowledge that she was the daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. A spokesperson from the company explained:
“We held an open audition in the US to cast performers for Dayoung’s music video. Among those who took part were several performers affiliated with a dance crew called Culture. Shiloh was selected in the final round and ended up joining Dayoung’s music video. Even after filming, we had no idea she was the child of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, and only found out by chance quite recently.”
The Independent has reached out to Starship Entertainment for further comment. Dayoung, whose real name is Im Da Young, is a South Korean singer and member of the K-pop girl group WJSN (Cosmic Girls), which debuted in 2016. She made her solo debut in 2025 with the single “Body” and has contributed to the soundtracks of popular Korean shows like Doctor Slump.
Online reactions to Shiloh’s appearance have focused on her striking resemblance to her mother, Angelina Jolie. Many users have spliced pictures of the Maria star at 19 with images of Shiloh from the teaser. One person on X, formerly Twitter, wrote: “Literally looks exactly like her momma, oh my god.” Another commented: “Shiloh inherited Angelina Jolie’s star power, because she appeared here for like a millisecond but got everyone talking about her.”
Shiloh legally dropped Brad Pitt from her surname after turning 18 in 2024. In June last year, the fourth-oldest child of the two actors attended the launch of fashion designer Isabel Marant’s capsule collection with Net-A-Porter. She also choreographed the routine for musician Luella’s single, “Naïve.”
In the press release, she was listed as “Shi Joli” instead of her given name, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt. A representative later clarified to The Independent that there was a typo on the initial release, and Shiloh prefers to be credited as Shi or Shi Jolie.
Angelina Jolie shares six children with her former husband Brad Pitt: Maddox, 24; Pax, 22; Zahara, 21; Shiloh; and 17-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox. The pair began their relationship in 2004 after meeting on the set of Mr & Mrs Smith, married in 2014, and announced their separation in 2016.
Other members of the family have also taken steps to move away from using Pitt’s surname. Vivienne was listed as Vivienne Jolie in the official programme for the Broadway production The Outsiders. In 2023, Zahara introduced herself to her university sorority as Zahara Marley Jolie, also omitting Pitt from her name.
