WJSN's lead vocalist shared a Christmas performance with her cover version of Ariana Grande's "Santa Tell Me," in a video uploaded on the Starship TV YouTube channel.
Dressed in a Santa-inspired outfit, complete with Christmas lights and balls in the background, the cover video fits very well with the season. Arranging her tie and taking a deep breath before giving a smile to the camera, Dayoung captured the fans as soon as she began Ari's 2014 seasonal hit.
Every line of the WJSN vocalist is accompanied by white lyrics, both in English and in Korean. The Christmas treat was warmly received by fans, who left comments complementing Dayoung's vocals.
"I knew that [Dayoung] had a nice voice, but I didn't know she could sing THIS good. As expected from WJSN with all main vocalists," one commenter wrote. Other comments described her vocals as "angelic and sweet just like her personality," with fans campaigning for more support and love for the 21-year-old singer.
Dayoung's solo cover for "Santa Tell Me" is the latest release from the vocalist, who has also joined the WJSN subunit CHOCOME. They released their successful debut single, "Hmph!," on October 7, 2020. After the well-received promotional activities for their single-album, the girls said in a statement through their agency, Starship Entertainment, "We're so happy to finish our first unit activity well. Thanks to all your love, we were able to enjoy our activities so much."
CHOCOME, the four-member subunit - of members Dayoung, Soobin, Luda, Yeoreum - capped off their "Hmph!" promotions on MBC's "Show! Music Core" back in November. Their debut album caught the attention of global media. Jeff Benjamin, writing for Forbes, commended the "saxobeat-tinged disco-pop" track with its "bubbly blast of youthful aegyo cuteness." He also noted that all the subunit members shine in the single's concept.

Aside from her work as a member of WJSN and its CHOCOME subunit, Dayoung also plays the role of Oh Ah-Ram in the Kakao TV original series "Love Revolution," itself an adaptation of the hit Naver webtoon of the same name. In the series, Dayoung's role is the best friend to Wang Ja-Rim and is a strong and athletic character. The webseries began airing on September 1, 2020, exclusively available on iQIYI for South East Asian countries, as well as in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and in Macau.
