Group SEVENTEEN member Dino continues his rise as a major figure by appearing consecutively at a solo concert in August and major domestic and international festival stages in September.
On the 17th, his agency PLEDIS Entertainment Co. said Dino will attend Seoul's "Medley Medley 2026" on Sept. 6 and then perform on the second day of "Waterbomb Kaohsiung 2026," held in Taiwan on Sept. 12–13. He plans to fully display his skills as a versatile "all-rounder," conquering not only domestic but also overseas festivals.
Prior to that, he will hold a solo concert, "2026 Dino X Picheolin [吉BOARD SHOW]," at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Seoul from Aug. 21–23. The concert, which sold out all seats as soon as fan club pre-sales opened, will be broadcast live online for all three days. Fans are expecting a special stage setup that alternates between Dino's true self and his sub-character.
On the 3rd, Dino proved his wide-ranging musicality by releasing his first mini album as his sub-character Picheolin, "吉BOARD." He excellently performed a variety of tracks, including an EDM trap title track, the Korean-flavored "Michyeo Michyeo," and the sentimental city pop "There is no painless parting (narr. Lee Moon-sae)."
Also, at the album release fan party held on the 16th at the Cube Convention Center in Seoul, his charm shone. Heating up the venue with passionate live performances of songs such as "Really (Prod. Lee Hyeon-do of DEUX)" and "Nola Bose (prod. Hitchhiker)," Dino read aloud a letter he had written near the end of the concert, saying "CARAT (fan club name) is always the reason I stand on stage and the reason for my existence," deeply moving his fans.
