Antenna‘s new band Dragon Pony showed off their various charms through their first debut pictorial.

Fashion magazine Cosmopolitan released a pictorial and interview with Dragon Pony (Ahn Tae-gyu, Pyeon Seong-hyeon, Kwon Se-hyeok, Go Kang-hoon) on its official homepage today (25th).

In the pictorial, Dragon Pony is freely running through a field full of grass and flowers, radiating youthful energy. Despite being their first pictorial since their debut, they are capturing attention with their intense gaze and poses in front of the camera.

An interview was also conducted along with the pictorial shoot. Dragon Pony’s debut EP ‘POP UP’ is an album that contains Dragon Pony‘s bold ambition to make their presence known on the music scene, and they declare that they will present ‘the hot music of imperfect boys’. Regarding this, Dragon Pony explained, “It means that we want to express the passionate emotions we are experiencing now, such as the imperfection of youth and growing pains, through music.”

Dragon Pony writes lyrics, composes, and even mixes its own music. Dragon Pony said, “The four of us have different personalities, but we are bringing these personalities together to present one music. We want to try various things like rock, pop, and metal.” “Our ultimate goal is to become the headliner of a world-class rock festival like the Glastonbury Festival. I think it’s good to dream big,” he said with bold ambition.

Dragon Pony will be participating in the ‘Grand Mint Festival 2024’, which will be held at Olympic Park in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 27th. Also, they will be holding their first club tour ‘POP-UP club LIVE’ in November and will visit clubs in Seoul, Busan, and Jeonju.
