Antenna Rookie band Dragon Pony showed off their four-member, four-color nerdiness through a pictorial.

On the 27th, fashion magazine GQ KOREA released the December pictorial and interview with Dragon Pony (Ahn Tae-gyu, Pyeon Seong-hyeon, Kwon Se-hyeok, and Go Kang-hoon) on their official homepage.

In the group pictorial, Dragon Pony tried to be formal, but showed an unformal portrait of freshmen in society. The colorful outfits catch the eye. Next, in the individual pictorials, the four members showed off their wild nerdiness in combinations of ugly knits and checkered shirts. They didn‘t miss the band’s identity either, such as posing while holding instruments.

An interview was also released along with the pictorial. Dragon Pony introduced the team‘s slogan, ‘Hot music of imperfect boys’ and said, “It would be a great happiness if our music and stories could comfort and help someone.”

Dragon Pony then mentioned their recent first club tour and said, “It feels like this is really just the beginning. Before our debut, there were three or four other teams performing together, but now that our fans fill our performances, it’s different and new. It feels good,“ expressing their affection for their fans.

Dragon Pony made their official debut in the music industry last September by releasing their first EP, ‘POP UP’. Since their debut, they have performed on major domestic festival stages such as ‘2024 Hyundai Card Da Vinci Motel’, ‘2024 Busan International Rock Festival’, and ‘Grand Mint Festival 2024’, bringing a breath of fresh air to the band scene. Dragon Pony won the ‘Best Rookie’ award for their outstanding stage manners at the ‘Grand Mint Festival 2024’.

Dragon Pony also successfully concluded their first club tour ‘Dragon Pony POP-UP club LIVE’ with all shows sold out. They will also be appearing at ‘2024 Someday Christmas in Yeosu’ on December 21st and ‘COUNTDOWN FANTASY 2024-2025’ on December 30th.
