DickPunks ({{langx|ko|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.{{cite web|date=30 April 2013|title=Dickpunks|url=http://www.jpopasia.com/group/dickpunks/|url-status=live|access-date=19 June 2013|publisher=Jpopasia.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130819205711/http://www.jpopasia.com/group/dickpunks/ |archive-date=19 August 2013 }} The band has maintained the original line-up since its creation and is currently managed by the TNC Company.{{cite web |url=http://kakao.mnet.com/news/newsdetail.m?searchNewsVO.news_id=201303121642_31232 |title=DickPunks Finds a New Home with TNC Company – Mwave |publisher=Kakao.mnet.com |date=12 March 2013 |access-date=19 June 2013 |archive-date=24 June 2013 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130624191257/http://kakao.mnet.com/news/newsdetail.m?searchNewsVO.news_id=201303121642_31232 |url-status=dead }}

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.{{cite web|url=https://koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/culture/2012/10/135_123482.html |title=Ulala, producers of music, hope |publisher=The Korea Times |date=30 October 2012 |access-date=19 June 2013 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304060608/http://koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/culture/2012/10/135_123482.html |archive-date=4 March 2016 }}{{cite web|url=http://news.naver.com/main/read.nhn?mode=LSD&mid=sec&sid1=106&oid=001&aid=0006230492 |script-title=ko:딕펑스 "청춘은 지금..우리 음악도 실험 중이죠" |language=ko |publisher=Naver News |date=29 April 2013 |access-date=19 June 2013}} Wanting to expand their fan base, DickPunks decided to participate in Superstar K4. They finished the competition in second place in November 2012.{{cite web |url=http://kakao.mnet.com/news/newsdetail.m?searchNewsVO.news_id=201211241039_21979&category=All&query=DickPunks&page=1 |title=Superstar K4 crowns a winner! – Mwave |publisher=Kakao.mnet.com |access-date=19 June 2013 |archive-date=24 June 2013 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130624191332/http://kakao.mnet.com/news/newsdetail.m?searchNewsVO.news_id=201211241039_21979&category=All&query=DickPunks&page=1 |url-status=dead }}

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.
