SEVENTEEN's Dino Unveils Emotional Pi Cheol-in MV for "There Is No Painful Farewell"
SEVENTEEN's Dino debuts Pi Cheol-in's emotional "There Is No Painful Farewell" MV ahead of the "Gilboard" mini-album release.
Pi Cheol-in, the cheerful alter ego of SEVENTEEN member Dino, has taken an unexpected turn with a story of heartbreak. On July 15, the character unveiled the music video for the pre-release single “There Is No Painful Farewell (narr. Lee Moon-se)” from his first mini-album through official social media channels and YouTube, quickly drawing attention from fans around the world. The release offers a striking contrast to Pi Cheol-in’s playful image, revealing a vulnerable side shaped by love, loss, and quiet reflection.

1st Mini Album '吉BOARD'

“There Is No Painful Farewell” leans into city pop with smooth piano melodies and an elegant retro atmosphere. The song explores the lingering emotions that remain after a breakup, capturing feelings familiar to anyone who has experienced the end of a relationship. It hits differently because the emotion never feels forced. Dino also steps beyond performance by putting pen to paper, taking part in both the lyrics and composition. Long recognized as one of SEVENTEEN’s standout performers, he uses the track to spotlight his vocal ability and reinforce his reputation as an artist who can sing, dance, write, and create with equal confidence.
The music video follows Pi Cheol-in as he wanders through Seoul after a painful separation, searching for a way to move forward. One scene shows him running through a tunnel while carrying flowers that no one will receive. Another captures him dancing alone beneath a streetlamp, pouring every ounce of loneliness into the empty night. Those simple images speak volumes, offering comfort to people who carry their emotions in silence while trying to keep pace with everyday life. Rather than relying on elaborate sets, the production embraces familiar locations including Namsan Park and Hangang Park, allowing Seoul’s nighttime beauty to become part of the story itself.

A major highlight comes from legendary vocalist Lee Moon-se, whose narration opens the track with warmth and quiet authority. His unmistakable voice creates the feeling of tuning into a late-night radio drama, drawing listeners into Pi Cheol-in’s world before the first verse even begins. The collaboration adds another emotional layer without overshadowing Dino’s performance. It feels like two generations of Korean music meeting in the same room, each bringing something unique to the experience.
The song serves as the first glimpse of Pi Cheol-in’s debut mini-album, “Gilboard,” scheduled for release on August 3. The project has already sparked curiosity by presenting a fresh musical direction that blends nostalgic sounds with modern storytelling. Fans will not have to stay put for long before hearing more. The second pre-release track, “Crazy Crazy,” is set to arrive as an audio release on the 22nd, keeping the momentum alive ahead of the album launch. If this opening chapter is any indication, Pi Cheol-in is not simply introducing another character. He is carving out a distinct musical identity that gives Dino another compelling stage on which to shine.
