WJSN member Dayoung revealed details about her family history.

In an episode of MBC's "Playlist 109" broadcast on the 18th, Dayoung was shown reminiscing about how she came to dream of becoming a singer during her childhood and moments when she matured early.

On that day, Dayoung revealed that she nurtured her dream of becoming a singer by dancing and singing at her mother's eel restaurant. She also said that instead of playing with friends after school classes ended, she would head to the store to help her mother, adding, "I often thought, 'How can I not be a burden to my mom and actually be helpful?'"

It turned out that Dayoung grew up in a blended family after her parents divorced when she was seven. She stated, "My dad is my stepdad now. My parents divorced when I was seven," and confessed, "My biological father left behind too much debt at home; in fact, the debt was even registered under my mom's name alone, so the total amount of debt my mom carried was several billion won."

She continued, "It is still a huge amount of money now, but back then it was even bigger. Wasn't it overwhelming? Having experienced it at age seven, I felt like I suddenly became an adult in that moment. I thought, 'This situation is no joke,' which explains why I had to mature so early."

Dayoung also added, "From one day on, my mom started going out from dawn. It turned out she worked other jobs during the day and ran a business in the evening, living like that for several years. That's when I wanted to help her."

She also opened up about the unique sense of responsibility she felt as an only daughter. Dayoung said, "I made a promise to my mom: 'I will definitely succeed by a certain age and turn this family around.' My mom saw the look in my eyes and gave me permission, saying, 'Okay, then (become a) singer,' which brought tears to her eyes."
