Dragon Pony member Ahn Tae-gyu showed off his true value as a rock band vocalist.
Ahn Tae-gyu showed off his outstanding live skills and witty banter on the web entertainment show ‘Limousine Service’, broadcast on the YouTube channel KBS Kpop on the 4th.
On this day, Ahn Tae-gyu appeared singing ‘Morse Code’, which he had revealed for the first time as a member of Dragon Pony, with a sweet and refreshing vocal to the keyboard.
Ahn Tae-gyu, who began his full-fledged live service, passionately sang ‘White Whale’ by YB (Yoon Do-hyun Band), a song that he had often sung since childhood. MC Lee Moo-jin praised him, saying, “He is a typical rock vocalist. It felt really refreshing to listen to him. He is the perfect vocalist to convey the message.”
He also presented an engaging performance as a rock band vocalist with ONE OK ROCK‘s ‘Cry Out’, which he sang at his agency’s Antenna audition. In particular, Ahn Tae-gyu said, “I participated in the audition after being discharged from the military and had short hair, but the other members had long hair so I was intimidated. I thought, ‘This is a real rock band,’” and made everyone laugh by sharing an anecdote about his first meeting with the members.
In the second live service, he showed off his diverse vocal charms by going back and forth between sad emotions and bright energy with EXO‘s ‘LOVE ME RIGHT’. Not only that, he perfectly performed the rap part, showing the aspect of a versatile ‘bandman’.
Ahn Tae-gyu confidently expressed his aspirations by saying, “The team’s catchphrase is ‘The hot music of imperfect boys’, and although we are imperfect now, we will work hard to approach many people step by step.”.
Lastly, Ahn Tae-gyu sang Damien Rice‘s ‘The Blower’s Daughter‘ as a duet with Lee Moo-jin. Ahn Tae-gyu conveyed a deep lingering feeling by expressing his explosive vocal volume and his heartbreaking emotional falsetto with excellent control of tempo.
Dragon Pony, which Ahn Tae-gyu is a part of, will release their second EP ’Not Out‘ through various music streaming sites on the 19th at 6 PM. Through ’NotOut‘, Dragon Pony plans to deliver a message of hope and passion that if you keep challenging yourself towards your dreams, you will eventually achieve them.
