Shiloh Jolie has landed a new gig as she progresses in her dancing career.
The 19-year-old daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt made an unexpected appearance in the 26-second video teasing K-pop star Dayoung‘s music video for her upcoming single, “What’s a girl to do?”
In the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo, Shiloh Jolie is one of nearly a dozen backup dancers surrounding Dayoung while a snippet of the beat-heavy dance track plays. Later, Jolie gets a brief close-up as she gazes away from the camera.
A representative from Starship Entertainment, the management company behind Dayoung and her girl group WJSN (Cosmic Girls), told the Maeil Business Newspaper in a statement written in Korean that Shiloh was selected in the final round following an open audition.
The team behind the music video was not aware Shiloh was Pitt and Angelina Jolie‘s child until recently, according to the statement.
USA TODAY has reached out to Starship Entertainment for comment.
The full single and its accompanying music video release April 7. This is the second solo single from Dayoung following 2025’s “Body,” a pop dance track sung in English.
Jolie, who legally dropped her father’s surname upon turning 18 in 2024, has been quietly developing her dance and choreography résumé in recent years.
In 2025, the typically private teen was credited as the choreographer for a dance number that was performed at a dinner party for the launch of Isabel Marant’s Net-A-Porter capsule collection, according to Page Six and Variety. She was reportedly referred to as Shi Jolie in the press release.
Pitt and Jolie, who split in 2016, share six children: Maddox, 24; Pax, 22; Zahara, 21; Shiloh, 19; and 17-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.
Speaking at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in February 2025, Angelina Jolie opened up about her children’s lack of movie ambitions, as well as her hope that “I’m giving them space to figure out who they actually are and something that they want to live for that’s authentic to them.”
“It’s such a wonderful family – to be creative, to be an artist. They really don’t like if any of the celebrity part of it. Especially Shiloh hates it,” she said.
“They’ve been on set with me. Some of them dance, some of them paint, some of them love theater, but none of them are dying to be on screen.”
