Solo singer Dayoung, who made a 180-degree transformation from the youngest member of the group WJSN to a "hot girl," confesses about the difficult family circumstances she endured due to her father's debts.
On the 23rd, Dayoung appears in the 399th episode of MBC's variety program 'Jeonji-jeok Chamgyeom Sijeom' (planned by Kang Young-seon, directed by Kim Yun-jip, Jeon Jae-wook, Gimhae-ni, Jeong Dong-sik, and Lee Da-un, written by Yeo Hyeon-jeon).
That day, Dayoung reveals the source of her unique sharpness. The 13-year-old girl from Jeju came to Seoul with the dream of becoming a singer, enduring her trainee days while living in a study room, spending a fiercely intense time from an early age.

In particular, she shares the story of maturing early while watching her mother raise her alone after her parents' divorce, during her childhood when she faced living hardships due to her father's debts.
Dayoung's intense daily life continues. Known by the nickname "Company's Young Bamboo Shoot," Dayoung, who stamps her attendance at her agency, heads to the practice room. Regarding this promotion alone, she revealed that she "completed about 200 challenges," and even set aside separate time for challenge choreography lessons, burning with passion for new challenges.
In response, Dayoung reveals the behind-the-scenes of how she directly arranged challenges with BTS's J-Hope, B.I, and other top Korean dancers, driven by her unique goal to master people's algorithms.
Afterward, Dayoung meets the group Rise at SM Entertainment. Having previously mastered Rise's high-difficulty choreography through "challenge choreography lessons," Dayoung participates in challenge filming with the Rise members. The observers are unable to hide their surprise at the "challenge exchange" culture where they swap challenges with each other. The episode airs on the 23rd at 11:10 p.m.
