Yoo Jung Ahn, known professionally as Daisy, is a South Korean singer, dancer, and former member of MOMOLAND. She lived in Canada for 11 years but returned to South Korea when she was 13 years old. She graduated from Jamil High School and is enrolled in the Garment Industry program at Ewha Womans University. Before debuting, she was a trainee at JYP Entertainment, and she almost joined Sixteen (the survival show which formed the group Twice) but left before the show began. She moved to MLD Entertainment and, in 2016, entered the survival show "Finding Momoland" but was eliminated. The group debuted after the show but had a few lineup changes in 2017, and she was added to the group as the main dancer, lead rapper, and vocalist. In early 2019, the company announced she would not participate in the group's comeback song "I'm So Hot" but that she would return for the next album, something that never happened. That began a series of controversies and attacks between MLD and her as she alleged the company refused to let her resume promotions with MOMOLAND and that the show "Finding Momoland" was fraudulent and had deceived viewers by manipulating the votes. She claimed the company called her after her elimination to tell her she would be added to the group at a later date. She also claimed MLD demanded that she pay the penalty for breaching her contract as she wanted to terminate it ahead of schedule. MLD denied all claims and stated they were taking legal actions against her and also gave a statement clarifying that her hiatus in 2019 was due to reports of her dating iKON's Yunhyeong, which were acknowledged by MLD but denied by iKON's agency, YG Entertainment. In May 2020, she officially left the group, but she continued to claim she was being fired and forced out of the group. (Source: Korean = NamuWiki || Translation = MyDramaList).
