- dino said the staff prepared dinosaur balloons for him!
- his birthday cake and the candle for it are also shaped like dinosaurs 🦕💖

🦦: i think this cake is cuter than my (bday) cake from last year!

- dino making a birthday wish and blowing out his candle 🎂

- dino also bought tteokbokki (엽떡) and honey combo chicken after talking about it with carats on weverse a few days ago, and hearing that they’re really delicious

- dino singing happy birthday 🎉

🦦: happy birthday 🎶 happy birthday to our lovely chan~ happy birthday 🎶

- dino said his younger brother bought him bbq chicken for his birthday! his brother’s birthday is also in the later half of february, and dino already bought him a present but he asked dino if he’ll still buy him another present later 😂

- dino said he hasn’t gotten any birthday presents yet because he doesn’t really know what to respond with when people ask him what he wants. he said he’s already told hoshi that he wants shoes, and he’s still deciding what to ask jeonghan for (since they asked him what he wants)

- dino’s TMI for today: he’s been working on music a lot lately. he said he keeps making things, then deleting them… so it’s really difficult but he’s been working hard at it

- dino said that even though making music is hard, he thinks always challenging yourself is important!

💎: i want to steal your food~

🦦: go ahead and steal it! i don’t mind~

- dino noticed a lot of comments were asking about his instagram (he doesn’t have one yet), and he said he wants to make one and post someday as a surprise

- dino is thinking about turning 24 years old, and said that when he thought about turning this age at debut, he thought he would’ve changed a lot and developed a lot of unexpected skills.

- dino thinks there’s definitely a lot of things that have changed (the people/environment around him), but when he thinks about it, he’s pretty much the same person with the same kind of thoughts

- dino said that just like when he debuted, he feels the same things now like worries when working on music, concerns about the future…
- so he told the carats who are also entering their 20s, to live happily and passionately instead of only thinking about chasing success

- dino said he personally thinks he has a big mouth and it was a complex he didn’t like about himself at first. he also used to think he laughed too loudly. but he learned to like that part of himself because carats told him they like it 🥺💖

- dino said some “new experiences” he’s been having nowadays is learning about new slang terms that kids use nowadays, like 어쩔티비. he said he can really feel that he’s become an adult now, because there are so many new slang words that he isn’t caught up with 😂

💎: do you know “shingi bangi bboong bboong bangi”?

🦦: there’s lots of comments like this… yes, i do know it!

😂

- dino hasn’t eaten all of the food he ordered yet, but he said he already feels really full. he mentioned he looked up mukbang youtubers who ate the same thing before, and he respects them for being able to eat that all 😂

- dino said he hasn’t received joshua’s birthday gift for him (this bracelet) yet because they didn’t meet up today yet, but he thinks it’s really pretty! he said he really likes these kinds of presents 💖

- seungkwan is here! he visited to give dino a birthday present 🎁

- seungkwan got dino a gucci bag for his birthday present 💖

- dino said seungkwan didn’t send a birthday greeting to him last night, so he just waited but then seungkwan came to his vlive personally to give him a birthday present 😭

- this is the bag seungkwan got for dino! he said he went around to a lot of places to find it and worked with the store staff to match it for dino 🥺 he also handwrote a bday card for dino 💖

- dino is reading seungkwan’s birthday card for him out loud now, and seungkwan turned on sentimental music as bgm 😂

dino when he found seungkwan’s handwritten card for him 😂

🦦: why are you doing things you normally don’t do!!
🍊: bc you turned on a live…
🦦: fine, so you did something you normally don’t bc you knew i’d do a vlive!

from seungkwan’s letter for dino (he compared the bag he gave to dino for his bday to the keyring dino gave him last year 😭)

🍊: “this bag is 2x more expensive than the present you gave me on my birthday”.
🦦: 😂😂😂

- seungkwan was talking about how dino’s become an adult now and how he must’ve had a hard time all along 🥺 dino said that he used to want to list out all his difficulties when asked about it, but he noticed over time that the older members are really considerate of his feelings

- and dino realizes the hyungs try to be understanding of his feelings. he used to think it was enough for the members to just understand the nuance of what he wants to say, but he knows now they try to go beyond that.

- for example, when filming an episode of going seventeen, dino said he was joking around with hoshi. hoshi apparently joked about something that dino himself didn’t think was a big deal,

but hoshi later thought it might have actually been hurtful to him - so he talked to him about it later after filming to say he didn’t mean it that way. and dino was surprised bc he didn’t think about it that way at all… 😭

🦦: hoshi hyung made a bunch of jokes/adlibs at me! i guess he realized, “oh, (dino) might’ve gotten his feelings hurt”. i didnt think much of it though!

🦦: so when we were in the waiting room, he told me “hey dino, i’m sorry for hurting your feelings with that earlier”. so i told him it was really okay!

- dino and seungkwan are talking about their predebut days now, and dino mentioned seungkwan was so good at singing even then. a lot of people also said even at that time that seungkwan would become someone who’s good at variety/entertainment.

- dino wasn’t sure because it’s hard to know that kind of thing from so early on, but it ended up actually happening. so dino said he thinks it’s amazing ~

- seungkwan read another comment requesting for dino to make an instagram . and dino said he’s really thinking about it nowadays. he said he wants to do it comfortably~

- seungkwan mentioned he wants to try doing a danceology, like dino. so he asked if he can join dino in doing one someday

- dino also said he doesn’t have much time to work on a danceology nowadays though, because he’s been working a lot on making music. he’s been taking lessons from bumzu too!

- dino said again it’s really hard to make music ㅠㅠ he mentioned that he has to work really hard, and he had to change the melody for one song eleven times before

- dino said he got a call from his grandma for his birthday today! his grandma runs a chinese food restaurant, and she apparently overheard some highschool students at the restaurant talking about seventeen 💖

- dino’s grandma gave the highschool students some free dumplings as a “service” after hearing them talk about seventeen (she mentioned dino’s bday too), and they returned after paying to gift his grandma a vegemeal

- dino mentioned he gave wine to seungkwan for his birthday, and they drank it together because it was really delicious ㅋㅋ and the next day, they went to see the snow together ☃️

this was the day seungkwan & dino went to see the snow together ⛄️

earlier, dino also mentioned he looked up to seungkwan a lot when he was a trainee 🥺

🦦: honestly if seungkwan hyung hadn’t been there, i think i couldn’t have been a trainee. i think i would have left after a short time.

🦦: it was my first time living together with so many people. i was like that in junior high too. i didnt fit in well when together with friends, i studied alone… so coming here and having to experience that all day was so hard. but on the other hand, this hyung did so well!

🦦: when i looked at seungkwan hyung back then, he was almost like a god! a god at social life! i think i respected him as much as our CEO back then~

- seungkwan said he’ll come do a castella episode (on vlive) sometime soon, so dino asked if that series is still alive 😂 seungkwan replied it’s like a zombie, meaning it’ll come back to life when he saves it
