A love song he wrote himself
Dino handled both the words and the melody, building the track around the giddy nerves of falling for someone. Some fans have heard it already. He previewed it in August at "Dino X Picheolin Board Show," his solo concert in Seoul. [1]
From a mixtape to an alter ego
His solo catalog goes back to the 2021 mixtape "Wait." August brought a bigger step, his first EP, "Board," released under the alter ego Picheolin, along with stand-alone shows that reached Macao as well as Seoul. With "Automatic," that run of solo work carries on past his enlistment. [1]
The last two members called up
Dino went in together with Seungkwan, and after basic training both are headed for the Army's military band. They were the final two of the group's 13 members to be conscripted. Jeonghan was the first to finish, completing his service in June. Six others are still partway through: Woozi, Hoshi and DK in the Army, and Wonwoo, Vernon and Mingyu as social service agents. That leaves eight members of Seventeen enlisted at the moment. [2][1]
Hoshi took a similar route in October
"Automatic" is not the only solo track to arrive from a serving member this autumn. Hoshi put out his own digital single, "Boyfriend," on Oct. 10, part of a run of solo releases his agency has issued since he enlisted. [3]
