SEVENTEEN Dino to Release 'Beyond the Dream' OST for Drama 'Dream to You'

This track carries a message of moving toward a wider world despite harsh realities. Based on a refreshing rock sound, it delivers intense and dynamic energy, while Dino's delicate tone expresses the fluttering emotions of the characters to match the drama's romantic comedy atmosphere.

The drama 'Dream to You' follows the romance between genius film director Woo Su-bin (played by Hwang In-youp) and reporter Ju Yi-jae (played by Lee Hye-ri), who is living her life after temporarily setting aside her dreams. This OST performed by Dino musically supports the realistic difficulties the two protagonists face and their will to overcome them.

From 'ICARUS' to Esports Theme Songs, Tracing His Footsteps as a Vocalist

Beyond being a performance member of Seventeen, Dino has steadily demonstrated musical capabilities spanning both vocals and rap. He previously showcased his singing prowess through 'ICARUS,' an OST for the tvN drama 'Castaway Diva,' and in a rare move for a K-pop artist, he was selected as the vocalist for 'Til My Fingers Bleed,' the theme song for the '2025 Esports World Cup.'

Dino's color is also distinct in his solo work. He has released his first solo mixtape 'Wait' and the solo track 'Trigger (DINO Solo),' while also building his producing skills by earning credits in Seventeen's song-making process.

August 3 Release of 1st Mini Album '吉BOARD' as New Persona 'Pi Cheol-in'

On August 3, Dino will embark on full-scale solo activities by releasing his 1st mini album '吉BOARD' under his new persona, 'Pi Cheol-in.' Based on the worldview of 'the versatile on-the-road producer Pi Cheol-in,' this album features a theme of unfolding the stories of people encountered on the road through music.

The music presented as Pi Cheol-in will consist of works that modernly reinterpret traditional Korean 'heung' (joy/excitement). He plans to deliver positive energy and rhythm through various genres, making this a project containing musical experiments distinct from his identity as Seventeen member Dino.

Meanwhile, 'GOING SEVENTEEN,' the self-produced content of Seventeen, which Dino belongs to, recently resumed its new season. It continues to enjoy massive popularity, surpassing 1 million YouTube views just two days after its release.
