SEVENTEEN's DINO's Alt-Persona 'PicheolIn' Praised by International Media for Artistic Diversity

DINO of SEVENTEEN is receiving high praise from international media through his alter-persona 'PicheolIn'. British music and fashion magazine CLASH published an article about DINO's mini album '吉BOARD' and PicheolIn, noting that the character, originally created for entertainment, has now become an important presence in DINO's musical activities. Cosmopolitan Indonesia praised the album's music and performances, highlighting DINO's passion for music and his diverse artistic spectrum. The album's Korean cultural sentiments also attracted international media attention, with Genius focusing on the deep meaning of affection in the Korean word '정' (jeong), while ABS-CBN and Esquire Philippines discussed the Korean emotional concept of '흥' (heung) as excitement and festive energy. DINO will appear as PicheolIn on HYBE's podcast channel 'STAN' on the 14th, and will hold the '2026 DINO X PicheolIn [吉BOARD SHOW]' at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Seoul from the 21st to 23rd.
