DINO of SEVENTEEN just levelled up on the global stage — becoming the first-ever K-pop act to perform at the Esports World Cup (EWC) 2025 opening ceremony.
Taking over the ANB Arena in Riyadh on 10 July, DINO set the tone for the world’s biggest esports showdown with a fiery performance of the official EWC anthem, 'Til My Fingers Bleed'. Watch the full performance here (at 1:16:48) and stream the track here.
The performance featured DINO’s signature sharp choreography and live vocals, made even more electric with surprise appearances from collaborators Duckwrth and Telle Smith (The Word Alive), who joined him for a genre-mashing rendition that fused K-pop, hip-hop, and rock.
Sharing the stage with global heavyweights Post Malone, Alesso, and Tina Guo, DINO brought serious heat to the opening night, commanding a massive stage setup with over 30 dancers and an immersive, game-inspired backdrop.
The high-energy anthem, crafted by the same team behind League of Legends hits like 'POP/STARS' by K/DA, was choreographed by UK dance ace Jay Revell, known for his work with David Guetta, Dua Lipa, and Anne-Marie.
With millions tuning in online and thousands on the ground, DINO’s show-stopping moment made waves not just in esports, but across music fandoms worldwide.
