Dayoung of WJSN is earning international attention with her first solo digital single album 'gonna love me, right?', released on September 9, 2025 KST.
U.S. outlet Forbes published an interview under the headline “Dayoung Is Ready For Her Pop Rockstar Era With 'gonna love me, right?'”, noting that the three-track set reflects Dayoung’s upbeat mindset and inner world. The piece highlighted how the title carries dual meanings—confidence and a sweet, hopeful tone—and praised her decision to conduct the interview entirely in English as a sign of readiness for the global stage.
U.K. music magazine NME described the project as a bold, confident, vivid exploration of “true self.” Lifestyle and culture title TMRW magazine also spotlighted Dayoung with the feature “DAYOUNG Steps Out Solo — and You’re Going to Love It,” framing the release as both a declaration and an invitation to connect after nearly a decade captivating audiences with WJSN.
The title track 'body'—sung fully in English and filmed largely in one take—was singled out as a confident leap that reveals her authentic self. Coverage praised the video’s playful yet vulnerable tone and its clear Dayoung signature. FOX 13 Seattle observed that 'body' serves as a pivotal work launching her solo chapter and pointed to the wealth of creative ideas she brought to the production.
MTV channels across the U.S., U.K., Germany, Japan, and Italy amplified 'body' via official social accounts, while outlets including Genius Korea added momentum with additional coverage.
With 'gonna love me, right?', Dayoung led from planning through songwriting and composition around the themes of confidence and love. She is slated to perform 'body' on 'Inkigayo' on September 14, 2025 3:20 PM KS
