SEVENTEEN’s Producer Accidentally Drops Spoiler On Dino’s Solo Comeback; Will He Be Fined ₩300 Million?

PD Na Young-seok (Na PD) was taken aback after accidentally spoiling SEVENTEEN member Dino’s solo project during a YouTube Live with the third-generation K-Pop boy group.

On Monday, Na PD had a live broadcast on YouTube and shared that he had dinner with the SEVENTEEN members. “After dinner, we’re all about to leave, but before that, we wanted to say goodbye to our subscribers,” he explained the reason for the YouTube Live.

The SEVENTEEN members appeared shortly after, and they talked about the channel’s new content, “Waggle Waggle,” after “Nattering with Na,” as well as the upcoming release of “Seventeenth Heaven” and a new song challenge they filmed.

After promoting SEVENTEEN’s upcoming comeback, to the surprise of the members, Na PD said, “Now, should we talk about Dino’s?” leaving the members panicked but laughing.

After Na PD’s accidental spoiler, a surprised Mingyu told him, “No, we shouldn’t talk about this. What are you doing, hyung?”

Meanwhile, Wonwoo assured Na PD that it was OK, and it was even better that he spoiled it.

Because of his accidental spoiler on Dino’s solo, Na PD joked that he was in danger of being fined 300 million KRW because of SEVENTEEN’s rule that said, “If you tell a spoiler, you have to pay a fine of 300 million KRW.”

After the broadcast, “Dino Solo” and “Na PD” reportedly took the top spots of the real-time trends on SNS.
