SEVENTEEN's Dino has released a pre-release track under his alter ego Picheolin. "There is no farewell that doesn't hurt" arrived on July 15 at 6 PM KST, with veteran vocalist Lee Moon Sae lending a narration.
The song is a city pop track about what lingers after a love ends, pairing a sophisticated piano arrangement with the ache the title points to. Dino wrote and composed it himself alongside producer Bumzu, extending the run of solo work he began with the mixtape "Wait" and the solo track "Trigger."
Lee Moon Sae's calm voice opens the track. The narration gives the song an almost radio-drama frame, pulling listeners into the story before the first line lands.
Picheolin has another song lined up. "Crazy Crazy" follows on July 22, and both tracks belong to his first mini album, 'GILBOARD', due August 3.
The mini album reworks a spread of genres through a distinctly Korean sense of 'heung', the kind of joyful momentum that has run through Dino's stage work for years. The title track music video arrives with the album on August 3.
