DIMO REX Unveils New Vibe with ‘BANGER #2’
[CBC News] K-pop artist DIMO REX is back with a refreshing take on music that’s meant for everyone to enjoy.
On June 18 at 6 PM KST, DIMO REX will release the performance video for ‘BANGER #2 (Live with WeTheFriend)’ via the artist’s official social media channels. This follows the buzz around the first installment of the BANGER series, which was lauded for its raw energy and communal spirit.
Music That Breaks Boundaries — Day and Night
The BANGER videos show DIMO REX jamming with friends outdoors in Hongcheon, Gangwon Province, from sunlight to starlight — singing, vibing, and simply enjoying the music. The sessions capture spontaneous performances that champion freedom of expression and connectivity over choreography or spectacle.
What Exactly Is a ‘Banger’?
‘Banger’ is a slang term used to describe a song that’s exceptionally good — a true hit. Unlike traditional busking, BANGER sessions emphasize collaboration and inclusivity, allowing any artist to jump in and express themselves. In Korea, DIMO REX is proudly pioneering this phenomenon, redefining how music is shared and experienced.
Who Is DIMO REX? The Persona Behind the Mask
The first visual teaser, titled ‘Portal’, stirred up speculation about the identity of the mysterious artist. The reveal of Bang Yedam as DIMO REX — following the official release of his single ‘Resistance’ — sparked even more excitement.
DIMO REX serves as Bang Yedam’s alter ego, created to venture into new sonic territories. According to GF Entertainment, “DIMO REX allows Bang Yedam to explore experimental sounds. Fans can expect a distinct artistic identity from DIMO REX, separate from Bang Yedam’s usual style. Both personas will continue to be active.”
More Than Just an Idol — A Total Entertainer
DIMO REX is not just a performer but also a producer, lyricist, composer, and visual artist. From crafting the song to designing the artwork, every part of his digital single ‘Resistance’ released on June 16 reflects his hands-on involvement and unique vision.
Through this groundbreaking persona, Bang Yedam is poised to redefine the limits of K-pop artistry — where individuality meets innovation in full force.
