The camera follows Dayoung through a genuinely packed schedule: 1

  • 5 a.m. wake-up & English study – She starts the day with English practice, face mask on, showing just how seriously she takes self‑improvement.
  • Online meetings at home – Next up are back‑to‑back virtual meetings, hinting at busy solo plans behind the scenes.
  • Empty-stomach workout – Before she even leaves the house, Dayoung squeezes in a home workout, underlining her discipline and focus on health.

Her manager reveals she even traveled alone to the United States to work on new solo music—proof she’s hands-on with her career and not afraid to step out of her comfort zone. Even cooler, one of her backup dancers for the music video is Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, Angelina Jolie’s daughter, a detail that instantly caught fans’ attention. 1

Challenge Queen Meets RIIZE at SM Entertainment

If you’ve seen how many TikTok/Reels challenges Dayoung has done, you know she never half‑commits. Her manager notes she likely filmed around 10 times more challenges than the average singer during one promotion cycle—wild hustle even by K‑pop standards.
