  • Native name: 김현우

Kim Hyun Woo is a South Korean musician and member of DICKPUNKS (딕펑스; also shortened to DPNS). He graduated from Seoul Institute of the Arts with a bachelor's degree in Applied Music.

In 2006, he began recruiting his friends as members and created the band. It has the unique characteristic of not having a guitarist, as he wanted the band to be known as a piano ensemble. They performed in Hongdae for several years.

He made his official debut in February 2010 as the band's pianist/keyboardist with their first EP, "DickPunks 1st". They have maintained the original line-up since its creation, being currently managed by GIG Entertainment (GIG 엔터테인먼트).

In 2012, they participated in the singing competition "Superstar K4" because they wanted to expand their fanbase and managed to earn 2nd place behind Roy Kim.

All of the band's members are credited with composing and producing their music and have released several singles and OSTs. Similarly to other South Korean rock bands, they don't appear as much on TV as they prefer live events or festivals.
