Hollywood star Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter Shiloh Jolie (19) made a surprise appearance in a K-pop music video, startling fans around the world. Past dance videos of Shiloh, who is deeply passionate about dance, have also drawn attention.
On the 3rd (local time), according to foreign media including People (PEOPLE), 19-year-old Shiloh Jolie appeared in the teaser video for WJSN Dayoung's single "What's a Girl to Do," announcing the start of her activities as an artist.
Starship Entertainment, which carried out this project, shared casting behind-the-scenes stories with the media. A Starship representative said, "We held an open audition in the United States to select the cast for Dayoung's music video," and added, "At that time, several performers belonging to the dance crew 'Culture' applied, and Shiloh was chosen in the final round."
In particular, the representative added, "Even until the end of filming, we had no idea that she was Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter. Only recently did we happen to learn her identity, and we were surprised as well." She secured the K-pop music video spot solely on her skills, not her parents' background.
In the released teaser video, Shiloh Jolie sported a slicked-back hairstyle with her hair thrown back, paired a brown lace top with oversized hoop earrings to create a hip vibe. In particular, the "doppelgänger" visual that looked exactly like her mother Angelina Jolie in 1991 drew praise from fans, with comments such as "It seems Jolie's prime has returned."
Beyond a simple cameo, Shiloh showed presence in the video's dance sequence. She has steadily built her dance skills at famous LA dance studios such as Millennium Dance Complex and has proven her dance ability through past choreography videos like Doja Cat's "Vegas."
Shiloh recently officially removed her father's name, Brad Pitt, from her surname and is active as Shiloh Jolie, walking an independent path. That she, who has long shown an exceptional passion for dance, chose K-pop as the stage for her first official video activity is regarded in the industry as a highly unusual and bold move.
Shiloh, who is one person with the most famous parents in Hollywood, has lived most of her life in the spotlight. Called "Shy" by friends and family, Shiloh first revealed her dance skills to the world in 2021, surprising people.
In 2024, to mark Shiloh's birthday, her choreographer Keelan Carter exclusively revealed her life at the dance studio. In the video, Shiloh captivated attention by skillfully performing flashy dances and showing her flair.
Keelan told the Daily Mail at the time, "Despite having famous parents, Shiloh decided not to rely on her fame and to achieve her goals," and said, "Shiloh is a dancer with outstanding talent and shows dedication and effort." He added, "She is an earnest and honest person who never uses her fame for personal gain."
Meanwhile, Shiloh's father Brad Pitt spoke about his daughter's dance ability in a 2022 interview with Entertainment Tonight. He described Shiloh as "very beautiful" and said, "I am moved to tears by my daughter's talent."
Angelina and Pitt held a secret wedding in southern France in August 2014 and welcomed three children together (Shiloh in 2006, twins Vivienne and Knox in 2008). They also adopted two more children, Zahara, now 18, and Pax, now 20, and Brad legally adopted son Maddox. Maddox is a son Angelina adopted before marrying Pitt. However, in 2016 the two had a physical altercation while traveling by private plane with their six children, and they later separated after a messy divorce battle.
Meanwhile, Shiloh's choreographer Kolani Marks told People, "Shiloh is a very dedicated dancer. She endlessly strives to make even extremely difficult choreography her own," praising his professional attitude. Dayoung's "What's a Girl to Do" music video main release will be unveiled on the 7th.
