SEVENTEEN members are actively expanding their musical horizons, with Dino making a notable debut as his sub-character Picheolin, and DK contributing to various drama OSTs. Picheolin's debut on August 3, 2026, has generated buzz for its unique concept, blending Korean retro sensibility with modern sounds, while DK continues to impress with his powerful vocals in solo and unit projects.
Picheolin, whose real name is Lee Chan (Dino), debuted with his EP [吉BOARD], featuring the title track "놀아보세" and pre-release songs "아프지 않은 이별은 없다" and "미쳐 미쳐." He is portrayed as a versatile producer and CEO of "BOMG," a character developed from "GOING SEVENTEEN" content. The album, co-produced by Hitchhiker, aims to infuse everyday life with music, combining EDM trap with traditional Korean "heung." Meanwhile, DK, a main vocalist of SEVENTEEN, has lent his voice to OSTs such as "Stay With Me" and "너인데" for various dramas, and is also active in the unit BSS.
Local bloggers express intrigue over Picheolin's character, noting his intention to "feature" in people's lives and transform ordinary days into rhythmic ones. They highlight the interesting blend of modern K-pop sounds with old market-style speech in his music. For DK, bloggers consistently praise his exceptional vocal abilities, wide range, and successful ventures in musicals and OSTs, solidifying his position as a prominent vocalist.
