DINO ‘Wait’ Official Teaser 1
Powerful high notes
Aside from “Wait,” Dino recently contributed the track “ICARUS” to the soundtrack of Castaway Diva. This J-rock style song is about the desire to soar higher, even at great personal cost. The song’s lyrics and music were designed to tug at listeners’ heartstrings. The addition of Dino’s emotive vocals take it to another level.
“ICARUS” begins with a thrilling blend of drums, electric guitar, and piano, setting the stage for him to come in swinging. As a member of SEVENTEEN’s performance team, he’s better known as a dancer, not a singer. But on this song, he hits some powerful high notes that reveal a new, more potent side of his vocal ability.
Dino on going solo
This isn’t Dino’s first time to go solo. His discography includes the songs “ET: Every Time,” “High Five,” “Last Order,” “The Real Thing,” and “Zero (Hero).”
In a 2021 interview with Weverse Magazine, Dino discussed his aspirations as a soloist. He shared his ambition to hold a concert featuring all his songs when he turns thirty. Dino also revealed a personal motto that guides his artistic expression. It goes, in part, “I will touch your heart rather than entertain you for a moment.”
A new musical journey
SEVENTEEN‘s 11th mini-album SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN and its title track “God of Music” have done well. The album set a new pre-order record, highlighting the group’s growing popularity and influence in the K-pop industry.
