SEVENTEEN’s Dino successfully finished his first solo performance since debut. On a stage that condensed the trajectory of 11 years of growth, the audience mixed tears and laughter. Dino held “2026 DINOxPicheolin [GilBOARD SHOW]” from the 21st to the 23rd at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Songpa District, Seoul, and welcomed more than 15,000 spectators. Tickets sold out on the day FC membership presale began, and additional seats were opened, drawing hot attention from an early stage. During the three-day online live streaming, CARATs (the name of the fans) from 71 countries and regions around the world, including Japan, the United States, Singapore, and China, accessed it. Dino’s wish to “create a performance where fun and emotion coexist” became reality through a diverse set list. With “ZZAN (feat. DINO),” “Party Rock Rock (prod. Hitchhiker),” and “Mi-cheo Mi-cheo” by the “sub character” Picheolin, he showed his own unique cheerful excitement and thrilled the audience, while the “main character” Dino left a long afterglow with a stage containing the trajectory of growth, from the solo song “0 (ZERO),” released immediately after graduating high school, to the unreleased new songs “Design” and “Automatic.” An aspect befitting an “all-round player” also shone brightly. Dino not only moved back and forth between the “main character” and the “sub character,” but also performed SEVENTEEN group songs “March,” “HOT,” and “Super,” and PERFORMANCE TEAM’s “Rain,” “Spell,” and “MOONWALKER” alone, showing overwhelming skill. The venue was filled with heat from the nonstop performances, and for each stage, “a chorus” and applause and cheers erupted. He ran through a fulfilling performance time of nearly 3 hours with more than 20 songs, including covers of DEUX’s “In the Middle of Summer” and Lee Moon-sae’s “Red Sunset.” Toward the end of the concert, Dino said, “The first dream I had after becoming a trainee was a solo concert, and you all made that dream come true,” and said, “Even in painful and tiring moments, when I imagine the stage standing together with CARAT, I end up smiling without realizing it. It was the same when preparing for this performance. My reason for existence is always CARAT.” Immediately after the end of the final performance, he surprise-screened a teaser video previewing the music video for the track “LIKE IT” from Picheolin’s first mini album “吉BOARD (Gilboard)” in the venue, causing explosive cheers. The teaser, in which his presence that turns every place he steps into a stage and stylish visual beauty were harmonized, is raising fans’ expectations for the main video. The music video will be released today (the 24th) at 6 p.m. ・SEVENTEEN Mingyu, Seungkwan, and Dino’s enlistment dates have been decided...
