DinDin Bets His Life on the '80s Seoul Music Festival' on 'How Do You Play?'

Singer DinDin has declared he's staking his life on the '80s Seoul Music Festival' on MBC's 'How Do You Play?'.

The episode aired on the 6th featured a secret meeting between DinDin, MAMAMOO's Solar, and influencer Lalala. Haha and Lee Yi-kyung gathered Solar and Lalala, revealing that a participant wished to form a duet with them, heightening anticipation.

Upon meeting Haha and Lee Yi-kyung, Solar and Lalala shared their progress, stating, "We've been continuously considering song choices and have brought a few options." Solar specifically expressed her desire to duet with YB's Yoon Do-hyun, mentioning him as her university professor whom she couldn't meet back then due to not being in the practical music department. Haha jokingly questioned if her choice stemmed from a desire to win a grand prize, catching Solar off guard.

DinDin then made his appearance, eliciting a mixed reaction of surprise and apprehension from Solar and Lalala. DinDin voiced his slight disappointment at Solar's unenthusiastic reaction, explaining his reason for wanting to form a duet: "I wanted to perform on stage with someone around my age." To everyone's surprise, he named WOODZ as his desired duet partner. Meanwhile, Lalala expressed her wish to collaborate with Choi Yu-ri.

DinDin confessed his ambition to change his life through this festival, hoping a strong performance would alter his image. However, he also shared his anxieties given the high caliber of other contestants. Lalala offered words of encouragement, praising DinDin's singing abilities.

DinDin first gained recognition in 2014 after participating in Mnet's 'Show Me the Money 2'. He has since become a popular figure on various variety shows, known for his candid and humorous personality. Currently, besides 'How Do You Play?', DinDin is actively appearing on numerous other broadcast programs.
