Dragon Pony “Distinct individual colors, conflicts of opinion → became closer through understanding each other”

The band Dragon Pony looked back on the process of working on their new album as all main producers.

On the 19th at 2 PM, at the release showcase for their second mini-album ‘Not Out’, held at Yes24 Wonderlock Hall in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, Go Kang-hoon said, “As main producers, each member brought their own demo songs and worked together. At first, each member had a distinct color and we clashed, but now we understand each other‘s colors well and incorporate them into our songs, which allowed us to present better songs.”

Regarding the process of resolving conflicts of opinion, Pyeon Seong-hyeon joked, “We fight sometimes, not just about music, but also in real life. He said, “As friends and colleagues, we think together and sometimes cry together in order to create one music, and I think we got closer. He confessed, “I think we create better results when we comfortably share our work stories.”

Ahn Tae-gyu confessed, “If there’s a conflict, like Kang Hoon said, we try to find a way to accommodate everyone‘s opinions as much as possible. I’m happy that we can create the best result, and I‘m glad that we can see our growth.” Go Kang-hoon added, “I think there was some ’friendly competition‘ among us while working on this title song. We each wrote a song, made a list, and had a vote. It was a really exciting process.”

‘Not Out’ is Dragon Pony’s new album, released approximately six months after their debut album, their first EP ‘POP UP’, was released in September of last year. Dragon Pony‘s autobiographical narrative and a cross-section of imperfect youth are recorded in each track, and like their previous work, the four members took the lead in writing, composing, and arranging all the songs in this album as the main producers. A total of five songs are included, including the title song of the same name, ‘Not Out’. It will be released today (the 19th) at 6 PM through various music sites.
