Welcome on in fellow Dreamers, GINX here is awesome and I suggest you stick around! I just requested this so this is her first exposure to DPR Ian's music. My planned request order next is: So Beautiful No Blueberries So I Danced Don't Go Insane Limbo (It's a condensed list, and if anyone has additional suggestions and where to add them in, please feel free to join in.) Also, if this ends up the pinned comment, please drop background information about Christian Yu/DPR Ian as replies.
Reposting some of the content from Phiz's message: I feel like it’s my duty to give info to new fans so I hope this helps! WARNING you probably know enough of this from your own conversations or research Long comment incoming with important info etc .. Dpr Ian aka Christian Yu is a Korean-Australian singer, musician, producer, editor, director etc He is an incredible artist who makes all of his music and music videos! He edits them all! he’s really one of a kind. He also directs and edits for other artists. Ian has Bipolar and DID (dissociative identity disorder). His music and videos explore those subjects, they also include his “alters”. “Alters” are basically other personalities that live in one person (they have different memories, attitudes, habits, tones etc). Ian blacks out when he switches. He is very open about his mental health he felt comfortable enough to share more about his diagnosis’s over the years. He’s so inspiring. The alters/personalities he has included in his work so far and their psychical appearances in mvs: MITO He takes over during Ian’s manic lows. He is destructive but also Ian’s protector. He holds Ian’s trauma and keeps it all locked away. In music videos he can be seen wearing dark clothes, an eye ring on his finger, he has one white eye, and his voice is made very deep. Whenever you hear a deep voice talking or deeper singing, that’s Mito. Sometimes his scenes are in black and white but not always! Just look out for the eye Mito recorded the song Skins and also shot the mv. Ian has no memory making it but posted it. It’s very raw MR INSANITY he takes over during Ian’s manic highs. He is very chaotic and lacks care for his own safety. Mito hates him bc of those things. He can be seen in music videos with blonde hair, clown-like makeup, fireflies surrounding him, his eyes sometimes flash pink and green. THE HYBRID it is a combination of the worst parts of Mito and Mr Insanity. Eye colours seem to be either blue or gold. Ian has called it an “abomination” and “entity”. Ian has not referred to it as a certain gender either, where as Mito and Mr Insanity go by he/him. The hybrid does have a name but Ian has said on his live that only about 6 people in his life know it. He might share the name soon as his upcoming album is mainly focused on The Hybrid. It’s appearance in music videos is a mix of Mito and Mr Insanity.
The biggest flex is that he wrote, composed, directed and edited this by himself. Besides that he co-produced the music with another member of the DPR Crew (DPR Cream)

Thank you for that breakdown. This was my first time seeing Dpr Ian and I admit to being very confused. Now, maybe I can listen to his work a little more intelligently.
I tried to have my comment (which was helpfully pinned) be the landing pad for fellow Dreamers. As such I copied much of the text of your message to a reply to the pinned comment.
hi hi! thank you for reacting to him! he's awesome, I'm so lucky I have the opportunity to see him and other dpr members live this october his stuff is so interesting to analyse, i got into him cuz i'm so into deep storylines (i'm a bookworm and i hope to become a writer at some some point in my life) and intricate forms of narrating; he's a great storyteller and a talented musician, he inspires me so much also, i don't have did or bipolar but the way he talks about some aspects of his mental health in his music resonates to me in deep levels, i have my own struggles with mental health as well and is so refreshing seeing someone being so transparent with their's hope you have fun getting to know him and his art!
yay im so glad to find another reactor discover dpr ian! thank you so much for your sincere reaction. i would love to see more reactions to him from you :D seems tal will be able to guide you well on this journey. have a nice day!
