  "account": "Seventeen's youngest member, Dino, is set to release his debut solo album under the alter ego \"Picheolin\" on Monday, according to his agency Pledis Entertainment. The first EP titled \"Gilboard\" is a reinterpretation of 1990s Korean street music culture, blending EDM trap, city pop, and new jack swing genres with a distinctive Korean sense of \"heung,\" which denotes spirited fun. The EP's name merges the Chinese character for auspiciousness, \"gil,\" with the English word \"board\" from the U.S. Billboard music chart, referencing the '90s music ranking based on street vendors blasting songs to attract passersby. \"Picheolin,\" the character Dino plays, is depicted as an enthusiastic '90s-style producer and CEO of a fictional K-pop agency, Bong. The lead track, \"Norabose\" (Let's Play), was produced by Hitchhiker, a former Rollercoaster member known for numerous K-pop hits. The album aims to convey a wide range of human emotions, not just simple enjoyment, through its genre-blending sound and thoughtfully structured tracks.",
