Shiloh Jolie has made an unexpected appearance in a teaser for an upcoming K-pop music video, catching many people off guard.
The 19-year-old daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt has been slowly building a name for herself as a talented dancer. She has already gone viral more than once through clips shared online.
She has also received praise from choreographers in the past. Even though many would assume her background helped her get opportunities, it has been reported that the casting team did not actually know who she was when she was chosen.
Even without considering her famous last name, it is still surprising how closely she resembles her mom in the teaser. The similarity is hard to miss once you see her on screen.
So far, only 27 seconds of the video have been released. In that short clip, Shiloh appears in DAYOUNG’s music video for 'What's a girl to do', showing up in a close-up shot and briefly performing a dance.
Shiloh is carving out a dance career for herself.

In the clip, Shiloh has her hair pulled back neatly and is wearing hoop earrings along with a lacy brown vest. She also has a gold lip ring, which adds to her look.
Even with the bold styling and makeup, many viewers still could not get over how much she looks like Angelina Jolie.
"She clearly got all the good genes from her," one person wrote on X, while another added: "Holy sh*t, mamma's good genes are sooooo strong."
A third person commented: "Oh wow just like her mom," while someone else shared: "Shiloh stepping into her own lane. Looks just like her mom in that close-up!"
Another user summed it up by writing: "Like mother, Like daughter."
Given how long she has been training and practicing dance, it seems clear that Shiloh earned this role based on her ability rather than her family background.

"We held an open audition in the United States of America (US) to cast performers for Dayoung's music video. Among those who took part were several performers affiliated with a dance crew called 'Culture,'" a representative from Starship Entertainment explained when speaking to Maeil Business Newspaper Star Today.
The representative also added: "Shiloh was selected in the final round and ended up joining Dayoung's music video. Even after filming, we had no idea she was the child of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, and only found out by chance quite recently."
The full music video is expected to be released at the start of next week, which has already built a lot of anticipation.

Shiloh also seems to take after her mother when it comes to personal decisions, including her name.
She made headlines after choosing to drop the 'Pitt' surname when she turned 18, following a similar path taken by some of her siblings.
She filed the paperwork for the name change almost eight years after Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt.
At the time, her attorney, Peter Levine, described it as an 'independent and significant decision' that came after what he referred to as 'painful events'.
