SEVENTEEN's Dino drops mini album '吉BOARD' as alter ego Picheorin on August 3
SEVENTEEN's Dino drops his debut mini album '吉BOARD' as alter ego Picheorin on August 3, after previewing it on Dingo Music.
SEVENTEEN's Dino is stepping out as alter ego Picheorin — billed as an "all-purpose producer on the road" — with mini album 吉BOARD dropping August 3.
On July 27, Dino appeared on YouTube channel Dingo Music's Album Spotlight and previewed the record. A highlight medley video covering all seven tracks, from opener 짠 (feat. DINO) through closer LIKE IT, also went up that day.
The title track 놀아보세 (prod. Hitchhiker) mixes EDM trap with Korean sensibility. Hitchhiker — formerly of Rollercoaster — handled production, composition, and arrangement, sampling his signature sound from his own track $10.
짠 (feat. DINO) runs on brass and hip-hop beats. 정말 (prod. 이현도 of DEUX) is new jack swing produced by Lee Hyun-do of DEUX. 아프지 않은 이별은 없다 (narr. 이문세) layers city pop with narration by Lee Moon-se. 정으로 사랑으로 brings a warmer melodic feel. LIKE IT is described as autobiographical, carrying the line "I feel truly alive only when I dance for you."
Pre-release track 미쳐 미쳐 dropped July 22 and hit No. 2 on YouTube Korea's Daily Popular Music Video chart.
Dino wrote lyrics for every track and co-composed six of the seven (all except 짠 (feat. DINO)). Seven tracks, six co-compositions, one alter ego.
吉BOARD releases August 3 via Pledis Entertainment.
