Dino of SEVENTEEN has once again showcased the results of his artistic challenge. On the 5th at 8:08 PM, he released an art film for his solo song "Skyfall (Remix Ver.)" through his official YouTube channel. This content was completed as part of the "THE 8 Contemporary ART" project, which expresses and shares his emotions and perspectives as art. The video intensifies the original song's themes of freedom, falling, and liberation through experimental performance and sensory sound. The process of Dino, who was trapped within a group, expressing his emotions through intense gestures and dance, and finally regaining his complete self and becoming free, is depicted with refined beauty. He took the lead in the overall production of the art film, from video planning to sound remixing and performance composition. His accumulated creativity across various fields such as music, dance, and art stands out. He also participated in the lyrics and composition of the original song "Skyfall," showcasing new possibilities as an artist. Dino explained his intention for the project through Pledis Entertainment, stating, "I wanted to share moments of being free from the world and existing as myself with many people through the art film." He expressed, "While observing what makes people cry and laugh, and how they live, I felt that I am no different from them. However, I do not want to just live swallowed by the world. I believe that moments of existing as ourselves are necessary for all of us. I would be grateful if those who watch the video could feel a sense of liberation and lightly reflect on their own lives." The choreography, which incorporates elements of dance and breaking, exudes a different energy from existing K-POP performances. The sound, which boldly reinterprets the song "Skyfall" from SEVENTEEN's 5th full album "HAPPY BURSTDAY," is also a highlight of the art film. Dino stated, "Dance is another language for me. I focused on expressing the sensation of liberation through my body and translating the emotions I want to express into movement," adding, "I feel a great attraction to electronic sound and will continue to challenge myself in the future." Dino continues to pursue diverse attempts through "THE 8 Contemporary ART." He has previously released various music art films that fuse contemporary dance with his solo song "Falling Down" and reinterpreted performance piece "Hai Cheng," receiving positive acclaim.
