Seventeen's Dino met viewers by transforming into a character full of variety show wit.

In a recently released M COUNTDOWN video, Dino presented a new character named 'Pi Cheol-rin.' When the host mentioned feeling lethargic due to the sweltering weather, he appeared by introducing himself as 'rookie singer Pi Cheol-rin.' When asked if he knew his senior Dino, who is called the future of K-pop, he revealed his quirky charm by calling himself 'eyes of love.'
Dino's twist acting revealing his identity with "It's me"
The scene turned into a sea of laughter due to Dino's sly acting. Fully immersed as the rookie singer Pi Cheol-rin, he delivered a twist performance by returning to his original self, saying "It's me," when the host doubted his identity. However, he immediately reverted to 'Pi Cheol-rin,' leading the atmosphere on set by presenting a unique greeting, "One, two, three, eyes of love," instead of Seventeen's signature greeting.
Dino mentioned that he is always ready to bring out an alter ego to communicate with fans. In particular, following the host's suggestion, he showed his energy by teasing a stage that includes random dancing.
