Dragon Pony, known as 'the top rookie of the K-band scene', is capturing the attention of worldwide listeners by delivering the voice of wandering youth through powerful and explosive live performances.
On the 30th, Dragon Pony appeared on Kakao Entertainment's global K-pop media 1theK original content 'Outdoor Studio', presenting a live performance of their recently released digital single 'Earth Boy' with bursting energy. The live performance of Dragon Pony shared on the 1theK Live YouTube channel featured not only solid band performances, true to their title as 'the rookie of the K-band scene', but also showcased their delicate yet powerful vocal ability. The spaciousness of the open large venue added to the sense of freedom unique to Dragon Pony, allowing their narrative to resonate with the fans.
'Outdoor Studio' is a unique content plan that allows audiences to experience live performances of singers as if they were listening to them on site, set against the backdrop of everyday spaces such as buses, restaurants, cafes, and supermarkets. Just as 'Earth Boy' expresses the vastness of the universe, it captures the dynamic sound and deep inner feelings of youth against the backdrop of large spaces, enhanced by beautiful nature. Particularly, 'Earth Boy', a self-composed song written by Dragon Pony during their trainee days, features lyrics that penetrate deeply and delicately into the hearts of listeners, conveying complex emotions without filters.
Having showcased their unique live performances several times on 'Outdoor Studio', Dragon Pony also garnered attention from K-pop fandom by covering iconic songs of global artists live on 1theK's 'Worldwide Cover'. All four members, including Ahn Taekyu, Pyeon Seonghyun, Kwon Sehyuk, and Ko Ganghun, being skilled enough to write, compose, arrange, and produce, Dragon Pony is documenting their moments of youth as they grow through the diverse live content offered by 1theK.
Global fans watching 1theK live content responded enthusiastically, saying, "Dragon Pony's personal color is 1theK!" "This is what next-generation global bands should be!"
