The K-Rock Scene Just Got a Whole Lot Louder
If you didn’t know Dragon Pony before, chances are you do now. On June 1, the rising four-member band (An Taegyu, Pyeon Seonghyeon, Kwon Sehyeok, and Go Ganghoon) took the stage at the iconic 2025 Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival—and totally owned it.
From Raw Intros to Youthful Anthems
Kicking things off with the gritty, guitar-driven “Waste”, Dragon Pony wasted no time diving into their emotionally charged setlist. They followed with fan-favorites “The Snake That Eats Its Tail” and “Altruism”, their heavy sound instantly igniting the audience.
Then came a moment of storytelling magic with “Earth Boy”—their newest single, and a track packed full of the angsty poetry Dragon Pony is becoming known for. One listener called it “the soundtrack to a coming-of-age movie that hasn’t been made yet.”
They’re Just Getting Started
In true rockstar fashion, the band escalated the energy with anthems like “Morse Code”, “Not Out”, and “POP UP”. Each one layered with powerful riffs and a hint of youthful vulnerability, their set felt like a tug-of-war between chaos and beauty—just the way good rock should.
Dragon Pony: The K-Band to Watch
Balancing explosive instrumentals with sensitive lyrics, the band delivered a sonic rollercoaster that showed off not just their musical chops, but an emotional depth that had fans cheering (and maybe tearing up). Their live synergy? As tight as any seasoned rock outfit.
And they’re not slowing down. Dragon Pony is booked solid for the rest of 2025, hitting major stages across Korea—from the Ulsan Summer Festival (August 7) to JUMF in Jeonju (August 17), Busan International Rock Festival (September 28), and the beloved Grand Mint Festival (October 19).
One to Keep on Your Radar
This isn’t just another indie band. Dragon Pony is riding a wave of momentum that feels inevitable. If the 2025 Pentaport crowd was any indicator, these guys aren’t just part of the K-band scene—they’re reshaping it.
Keep an eye on them. Or better yet, catch them live—you’ll leave a fan.
