Seventeen's Dino Debuts as 'Picheol-in', 'Nolabose' MV Teaser Released

Seventeen member Dino is set to officially debut under his alter ego 'Picheol-in' tomorrow. His agency, Pledis Entertainment, announced on August 2 that Dino had released a music video teaser for the title track 'Nolabose (prod. Hitchhiker)' from his mini 1st album via the HYBE Labels channel the previous day.

The released teaser captures Picheol-in's warm, nosy personality and the cheerful mishaps of a teenage boy who falls in love with his music. Set against a familiar bus stop backdrop, the video shows the boy's expression changing as he notices Picheol-in glancing at him repeatedly, feeling the stranger's gaze. The twist occurs when both characters start dancing together to 'Nolabose' playing from Picheol-in's phone. The two, initially sitting awkwardly, begin a lively tik-tok interaction, touching feet and spinning in a circle while holding each other's arms. This scene is interpreted as the prelude to the excitement to come.

'Nolabose' is a song that blends sophisticated EDM trap sounds with a distinctly Korean sense of excitement. Picheol-in aims to create a stage where people of all ages can come together, led by an intuitive and addictive chorus. Dino participated in writing the lyrics and composition, while the track was produced by Hitchhiker, known for creating K-pop hits with the band Rollercoaster, who sampled the signature sound of their hit song '$10'.

Meanwhile, Picheol-in's mini 1st album '吉BOARD (Gilboard)' will be released on August 3 at 6 PM. Dino plans to continue his debut activities by appearing on various music shows, starting with Mnet's 'M Countdown' on the 6th.
