SINGAPORE: SEVENTEEN member DINO is set to introduce fans to the next chapter of his creative alter ego, Picheolin, with the release of his first mini album, “吉BOARD (Gilboard),” arriving on August 3, 2026, at 6 PM KST.
Created as DINO’s alter ego, Picheolin was born with the idea of naturally becoming part of people’s everyday lives. Through music and storytelling, the character aims to brighten ordinary moments with joyful rhythm and positive energy while connecting with listeners through relatable experiences.
Inspired by the vibrant spirit of “gilboard,” a symbol of Korea’s street culture during the 1990s, “吉BOARD (Gilboard)” reimagines that nostalgic concept through Picheolin’s own perspective. Known for collecting stories from everyday people, Picheolin transforms those encounters into music across a variety of genres, blending them with the lively spirit of Korean heung. The project presents Picheolin as a “multi-talented producer of the streets.”
Alongside the announcement, PLEDIS Entertainment also released the official promotional schedule leading up to the album’s release.
