SEVENTEEN's Dino is leveling up—this time, on the global esports stage. He's been tapped as the first K-pop artist ever to sing the official theme song for the 2025 Esports World Cup (EWC) and will also take the spotlight at the opening ceremony.

🎮 'Til My Fingers Bleed'—A Cross-Genre Power Anthem

Dino will release the EWC theme song Til My Fingers Bleed, collaborating with U.S. hip-hop artist Duke Deuce and metalcore band The Word Alive. The track promises to be a genre-bending anthem fusing K-pop energy, hip-hop edge, and rock intensity.

He's also set to perform the song live for the very first time on July 10 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, during the official EWC opening ceremony—sharing the stage with headliner Post Malone.

An official from the EWC shared, "Dino's performance is expected to ignite excitement among global gaming fans and music lovers alike." The moment will mark a historic crossover for K-pop into the esports arena.
