A Korean name for Daisy
The closest Korean sound match for Daisy is 이진 (I-Jin) — composed from syllables Koreans actually use in given names — different from simply spelling Daisy in hangul (that transliteration is 데이지, covered below). Each option below pairs Korean syllables with hanja, the Sino-Korean characters that give a name its meaning.
How to write Daisy in Korean
In hangul, Daisy is written 데이지 (de-i-ji) — three syllables: 데 (de) · 이 (i) · 지 (ji).
That spells the sound of Daisy in Korean letters — a transliteration, not a name. A Korean given name is composed from syllables Koreans actually use in names, anchored to hanja that carry meaning. The closest one for Daisy is 이진, below.
이 is shared by 데이지 and 이진. The transliteration has three syllables and the Korean name has two, so the name match drops 데 and 지 and adds 진.

Is 이진 a name Koreans actually use?
As a full name, 이진 is a composition for Daisy rather than a common Korean name. Its building blocks are thoroughly current: 이 (i) and 진 (jin) are both used in South Korean given names today, so the result reads naturally rather than dated or foreign.
