Dino AUTOMATIC Solo Single: The Song About Love That Feels Complete
“AUTOMATIC” captures the exhilarating feeling of a love that feels complete when two people are together. The track is built on a rhythmic bass line and bright guitar sounds, blending polished pop melodies with the thrill of falling in love.
What makes the release special is how much of Dino himself is in it. The SEVENTEEN member participated in both writing and composing the song, continuing his growth as a singer-songwriter. Renowned producer Jintae Ko, known for work on Grammy Award-winning projects, also joined the production to give the track extra polish and global appeal.
First Performed Live at the GILBOARD SHOW in August
Fans actually heard “AUTOMATIC” months before its official release. Dino first performed the song live at his “2026 DINOxPICHEOLIN GILBOARD SHOW” concert at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul in August, where the audience gave it an explosive response. On stage, he moved freely between singing, rap, and falsetto, proving why he is SEVENTEEN’s main dancer and an all-round performer.
The release adds to a busy solo year for Dino. He previously released the mixtape “Wait” and in August dropped the mini album “Gilboard” as his alter ego Picheolin, even experimenting with trot music. His GILBOARD SHOW in Macau sold out, with two additional October shows selling out on the day tickets opened.
With “AUTOMATIC,” Dino keeps building a solo discography that stands apart from his group work — and fans are already asking for a full solo stage on music shows.
