A track included on SEVENTEEN’s fourth mini-album “Al1,” released in 2017, loved not only in Korea but also in Japan.

“The Whistler and His Dog” by Arthur Pryor, born in America in 1870 and active as a composer and trombonist.

It is said to have been inspired by the scenes Pryor saw while walking his own dog.
