SEVENTEEN’s Dino is stepping into his Picheolin persona with a playful new 吉BOARD (Gilboard) tracklist. The first mini album from Dino’s alter ego will feature seven songs, led by the title track “Let’s Play (prod. Hitchhiker)”.
Released in a newspaper-style poster, the reveal turns a standard solo rollout into a full character moment. Picheolin is not simply a new name for Dino, and Gilboard leans into the fun of letting the alter ego take the spotlight.
Picheolin’s Gilboard Tracklist Is Here
The Picheolin Gilboard tracklist confirms a seven-track project that brings Dino’s creative world together with established names from Korean music. Along with Hitchhiker’s involvement on the title song, the album includes a collaboration connected to Lee Hyun Do of DEUX and a narration by veteran vocalist Lee Moon Sae.
Dino also participated in the album’s lyrics and composition alongside longtime SEVENTEEN producer BUMZU. That makes the Picheolin project feel less like a detached concept and more like another space for Dino’s songwriting and performance instincts to show up in a different voice.
- Title track: “Let’s Play (prod. Hitchhiker)”
- Album: Picheolin’s first mini album, 吉BOARD (Gilboard)
- Release: August 3 at 6 p.m. KST, or 5 a.m. ET and 2 a.m. PT
Why Dino Is “Featuring” Dino
The most entertaining detail in this rollout is the built-in Dino and Picheolin duality. The tracklist includes a Dino feature within a release credited to Picheolin, playing directly into the alter ego’s character-driven setup. For CARATs, it is an especially on-brand twist: Dino is both the artist behind the project and part of its guest lineup.
Picheolin has been part of SEVENTEEN lore since appearing as Dino’s recurring character in a 2021 CARATLAND VCR. PLEDIS describes the persona as someone who wants to fit naturally into people’s everyday lives, adding joyful rhythm and energy to ordinary moments.
The 1990s Street Energy Behind Gilboard
Gilboard takes its name and visual inspiration from “gilboard,” an icon of Korean street culture in the 1990s. Picheolin reframes that reference through a colorful, conversation-loving persona who gathers everyday stories and turns them into music.
PLEDIS says the mini album will span multiple genres while carrying the spirit of Korean heung, or lively communal energy. Before release day, the rollout is set to continue with teasers and music videos for “Crazy Crazy” and “Let’s Play,” giving fans more of Picheolin’s world before the album arrives.
