DickPunks is a rock band based in South Korea, consisting of four members. In Nov 2006, the band was formed without a guitarist because the keyboard player, Hyun-Woo, wanted the band to be considered a piano-driven ensemble. Hyun-Woo formed the band recruiting his friends as members.[1] The band has maintained the original line-up since its inception.
Though DickPunks was one of many bands in Hong Dae, they were popular amongst their critics and often called "Hong Dae Idol".[2][3] Wanting to expand their fan base, DickPunks decided to participate in Superstar K4. They finished the competition in second place in November 2012.[4]
All of the band's members are credited with composing and producing their music. In addition to their live performances, they also perform a separate choreographed act entitled the DICKPUNKSHOW.
The band is managed by the TNC Company,[5] based in Seoul, South Korea.
