The song has already garnered attention before its official release, so netizens are looking for more information. Eagle-eyed netizens were shocked to discover among the producer credits for “Karma” listed on Genius was none other than SEVENTEEN‘s Dino.

Carats (SEVENTEEN fandom) were in disbelief that Dino, of all people, had allegedly worked on a song for JoJo Siwa. Some tried to rationalize it as that Dino could have produced music that got sold to someone else later.

Yet, the information for “Karma” on YouTube differed. A producer named Dino was credited, but it didn’t appear stylized as SEVENTEEN member DINO.

Additionally, the producer credits on Genius have since been edited. Dino’s name is no longer listed.

Genius Korea also addressed the matter via its official X (formerly Twitter) account, apologizing for the confusion. The company explained that SEVENTEEN’s Dino was mistakenly included, as an unfamiliar editor had added the name.

[NOTICE] Recently, a song on Genius listed #DINO of #SEVENTEEN as a producer. An editor unfamiliar with Korean music and artists accidentally added the credit. The credit has now been deleted, and the Q&A has been fixed. We apologize for fueling unnecessary rumors.
