SEVENTEEN's Dino is debuting as his alter ego, Picheolin. On May 11, PLEDIS Entertainment announced that the group's youngest member is debuting as his alter ego, Picheolin, complete with backstory.
Picheolin's first mini album, "吉BOARD" (Gilboard), drops on global music platforms August 3. The release introduces a new character with an established narrative.
Dino is releasing new music under a separate identity. The project creates an alternate universe with a new persona attached to the music.
For SEVENTEEN fans, this marks a shift in Dino's solo career. The group's maknae (youngest member) has demonstrated artistic range in previous projects, and this move expands that scope. Picheolin is a full persona with narrative elements.
The album arrives August 3. Details about whether Picheolin will operate separately from Dino's SEVENTEEN activities remain unclear. A music video or additional lore materials have not been announced.
"Gilboard" releases August 3.
