Dino of the 13-piece boy band Seventeen celebrated the 1,700th day with fans from his hotel room in Los Angeles on Saturday night.

“Actually, we have a concert which will be live-streamed here on V Live,” the singer plugged the concert during the stream before adding that time flies while touring.

Just a few minutes into the broadcast, comments like “I love you” poured in, prompting Dino to thank his fans for their love and support.

He also updated viewers with the news that he got a new hair cut which is a straight center-parted hairdo.

He noted that this was to mark the 1,700th day since their debut in 2015.

“Doesn’t time go by so fast? I can’t believe it’s been 1,700 days since we debuted and met our fans Carats. I still remember the time when the name for our fan club was decided and fans cheered on,” he said.

The stream reflecting on the group’s career and has racked up over 270,000 views so far.

Monsta X channels inner home shopping hosts

The plate produced by Shownu is designed in a way that a smartphone can stand so that when eating, people can watch something on the screen.

I.M made bracelets while Minhyuk made a hand mirror. Kihyun who initially designed an AirPod case decided to make a wallet with a zip instead, which can carry credit cards as well as business cards.

Hyungwon’s item stood out in terms of creativity which is a headband worn when washing face so as to stop your hair from getting wet.

As the member is often called a frog and a turtle by fans, the singer drew inspiration from the animals and added them to the design.

The item also works as a scar which you can wear around the neck in the winter to keep warm.

The group’s fan meeting event “MX Home Party” continues on Sunday.

The singer also explained why he decided to go live at 11 p.m. “I just wanted help to fall asleep. I thought 10 p.m. was a little too early and 11 p.m. might be perfect,” he said.

With a mic placed in front of him, he also thanked the viewers for sending 100 million hearts his way. Viewers on V Live can send hearts as much as they can, which is often used an indication of enthusiasm.

Opting for Anne-Marie’s “2002” as the opening track to his show, he read out a letter from a listener in a smooth voice, talking about how bathing in hot water before sleep can help make people feel less tired.

Having just got back to his room and just changed into a new T-shirt, the singer appeared in a good mood with his makeup still on.

Talking to fans, he asked them to guess who would be his roommate for the night. Soon he revealed it was ACE.

He asked fans what the weather was like in Seoul, “Is it cold?”

Fans also asked whether he had eaten coriander while in the Southeast Asian country -- a herb whose distinctive smell often divides opinion. But the singer said he likes coriander.

To break out of his boredom, the singer began to play with filters, ranging from fish, a crocodile to a hammer as he made facial expressions.

The group is off to Japan early next month for a fan meeting event.
