WJSN’s Dayoung Unveils ‘What’s a Girl To Do’ With R&B Sound and All-English Lyrics

The release signals a bid to carve a broader solo identity beyond her breakout dance hit.

Overview

  • Dayoung released her second solo EP, “What’s a Girl To Do,” on Tuesday, introducing a softer R&B title track.
  • The new sound departs from last year’s high-energy “body,” which hit Melon’s Top 10 and earned her a win on SBS’s The Show.
  • She is credited for songwriting on both the title track and the B-side, “Priceless (kaching kaching),” highlighting creative authorship.
  • She led performance and visual choices, featuring fast footwork with a hoodie prop and a music video made without CGI for a more grounded look.
  • All-English lyrics reflect training in early-2000s R&B and support her push for range, with a summer follow-up already in the works.
