DickPunks

DickPunks (Korean: 딕펑스), also known as DPNS, is a rock band based in South Korea, consisting of four members. The band was formed in November 2006, without a guitarist because the keyboard player, Hyunwoo, wanted the band to be considered a piano-driven ensemble. Hyunwoo formed the band by recruiting his friends as members.^[1] The band has maintained the original line-up since its creation and is currently managed by the TNC Company.^[2]
