The group WJSN member Dayoung recalled the glory of winning her first music show No. 1 with her solo debut song "body."
Starship Entertainment recently released a video titled "'body' 1st Win Behind - DAYOUNG (다영)" on Dayoung's official YouTube channel. The video included behind-the-scenes footage of the moment Dayoung lifted her first music show trophy after her solo debut with the new song "body(바디)" on SBS funE's The Show on the 23rd of last month, drawing attention.
At the announcement of the No. 1 spot, Dayoung burst into tears of emotion and moved people with her remarks, "I really wanted to be loved a lot, thank you so much for loving me." Then WJSN members Exy, Bona and Yeonjung, who came to support her, and The Show MCs Hyungjun of CRAVITY and the encore live performers shared the stage, and she enjoyed the joy of being No. 1.
Heading to the waiting room, Dayoung cried again as soon as she saw the staff and dancers who had worked with her, blew out the candles on the celebration cake, and showed heartwarming moments as she spoke on the phone with the music video director to share the No. 1 news. Then she took commemorative photos with WJSN members and Hyungjun at a photo wall prepared in the waiting room, and Dayoung said, "It's amazing that the members came; as soon as they came up on stage with me I felt energized. I'm so thankful they came," and embraced them.
In particular, Dayoung and the members recalled fondly that Exy briefly performed the rap for "body" during the encore stage, saying, "It reminded me of the old days, it was so good," and they kept a cheerful atmosphere while taking photos together.
At the end of the video, Dayoung expressed her affection, saying, "I'm not just happy, I'm so happy. The members worked so hard that I wondered how I could repay them, and I'm relieved I can repay them by being No. 1." She also explained the double meaning of the album title gonna love me, right? (고나 럽 미, 롸잇?) as "you're going to love me" and "please love me!" and said, "I'm so happy that both meanings are coming true. Please continue to love me," conveying her sincere feelings.
Dayoung not only took home The Show trophy with the title track "body" from her first solo digital single gonna love me, right? released on the 9th of last month, but she also reached No. 24 on Melon TOP100, ranked No. 1 on VIBE's domestic rising chart, and appeared on major domestic music charts such as Genie, Bugs and Flo, while continuing her rise on YouTube with the trending music video and charting on the weekly popular songs and daily shorts popular songs charts.
