Seventeen‘s Dino dropped his new mixtape Wait, along with a high-energy music video Monday, marking the K-pop star’s solo debut.
Much like the track’s title, Dino spends part of the music video waiting for his order at a cafe or sitting on a bench with a floral bouquet, hoping to receive a text back from a love interest. In between these agonizing pauses, Dino takes to the streets for a dance break. After blowing off some steam, he finally returns his ticket and walks out the door with his order, with a black flower pinned to the bag.
“Don’t tell me wait/ I’ll hold you close and tell you/ Not to question us, don’t worry/ You and me, that’s why we shine (Don’t tell me wait)/ Please don’t tell me wait,” he sings.
Dino, a member of the performance unit, isn’t the first of the 13-member boy band to release a solo project: fellow members Hoshi, Woozi, and Vernon have all released their own. K-pop group Seventeen dropped their studio album Seventeenth Heaven in October and released a mini album FML in April. (During the same month, Rolling Stone and Seventeen collaborated on a special edition zine.)
Seventeen began their “Follow” tour this summer and will have additional stops in Asia through 2024. They plan to share their Dec. 16 concert in Fukuoka, Japan, with a global audience through the movie event Seventeen Tour “Follow” to Japan: Live Viewings.
