DickPunks (), 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. The band has maintained the original line-up since its creation and is currently managed by the TNC Company.
Though DickPunks was one of many bands in
Hongdae, they were popular amongst their critics and often nicknamed "Hongdae Idol", despite not being such literally. Wanting to expand their fan base, DickPunks decided to participate in
Superstar K4. They finished the competition in second place in November 2012.
All of the band's members are credited with composing and producing their music. In addition to their live performances, they also perform a separate choreographed act entitled the ''DICKPUNKSHOW''.
