Warning: LONG explanation comment ahead all about DPR and this song. Welcome to the world of DPR Ian! Ian is Korean Australian and was born and raised in Australia. He used to be part of a Kpop group called C-Clown but they disbanded a while ago. Now, Ian is a part of a label called DPR which is an artist collective of different artists that do their own music and production but come together to make DPR what it is. DPR stands for "Dream Perfect Regime" and it is basically a place for the artists to not hold themselves back and do whatever they can think of. There are many people that are on the DPR team behind the scenes, and those that are the public artists for the label all have the tag DPR before their name. DPR LIVE is a rapper/producer who was thd main face as an artist of the DPR label at the beginning (he is currently on a hiatus from DPR to release solo music under his own name), DPR CREAM is a music producer, DPR Cline is a recording artist, and DPR IAN was once just the visual director for all the DPR music videos behind the scenes, but now he is also a music artist as well. DPR Ian and DPR Rem (who has since left the company but managed it until late 2022) along with DPR LIVE created DPR together. Ian was always known by fans of DPR for being a fantastic director and has directed MVs for all of DPR, and some big artists and companies somewhat discretly over the years. Ian has always said that he has a wild imagination so he uses making videos and using effects to try to bring to life what he sees in his head. 3 years ago Ian put out his first song called "So Beautiful" and he directed and edited the video all on his own. The thing with Ian is that he does everything himself with his music or he has maybe 1 or 2 other people off his team help him out sometimes. He writes all his lyrics, produces his music, directs his MVs, and edits them all as well. With Ian's music, it can be very dark, yet all over the place, with a good reason. Ian has Bipolar disorder and has been very open about how that is what inspired his music career. He has said that he knew he couldn't write songs about things he didnt experience or couldn't relate to, so he writes about his struggles with Bipolar disorder. Ian has created a whole storyline and universe around his songs and characters he has created for all of his MVs. (It is seriously too much to get into the whole storyline here because then this comment would never end, but if you want to know I can make another comment) With his bipolar, he swiches for his manic highs to mainic lows, which he has given names to. He said that it may have been dangerous to give his switches names, as it gives them more power in his mind, but he is learning to deal with it still. So when he is in his manic lows, he is MITO, and in his manic highs he turns to Mr. Insanity. These are two of the characters in his MV stroylines, but some people don't understand that they are NOT just characters, but in real life they are a part of Ian that he has to deal with. In 2023 Ian also made public that he has a form DID as well, which makes his switches to MITO specifically that more prominent. He said that it is dangerous when he switches to MITO since he literally blacks out. Ian has said that overall he views MITO as the more dangerous one to switch to, but Mr. Insanity can be just as scary becuase he becomes reckless and doesn't care about consequences. Ian has said that when he films MVs, most of the time he is not acting as he is actually in the mental state of the character he is trying to portray. That is also prominent in this song "Limbo" where we meet a new character in the story and another side of Ian for the first time. So whenever you see him in a MV, know that 80% of the time he is not acting and that is literally just what he looks and feels like at that time while filming. Ian has only introduced us to how Mr. Insanity would be like in music this last year in 2023 with his latest album "Dear Insanity" which is like a letter from Ian to his insane side. Both of his previous albums before this have been focused on the story of MITO so they are more dark and eerie. In some instances it can be hard to tell when he is MITO or Mr. Insanity, so there is a sort of trick to tell. Most of the time MITO will be shown in black and white and/or be missing an eye and wearing it as a ring or necklace in some cases. Mr. Insanity has golden or multi colored eyes with lots of color or butterflies around him. (Which we do see Mr. Insanity in this MV with golden eyes, butterflies, and at the end of the song) In this song "Limbo" Ian stated that he is the "Hybrid" of MITO and Mr. Insanity. He said that this is when he is between the most insane parts of Mr. Insanity and the darkest parts of MITO when he switches. He also uses the metaphor of "Limbo" as between heaven and hell because his stodyline has a sort of biblical aspect to it. (MITO is like a fallen angel in the storyline, hence the scene of Ian having wings for a split second in this MV) Ian has not yet said the real name of this "Hybrid" side of him because he does not want to give any sort of power to this side of him like he did with MITO and Mr. Insanity as this is literally the worst (or best) of both of his sides. Since this character is new to his storyline, not that much has been revealed, but fans speculate that the blue eyes seen in this MV are a sign that it is the Hybrid. It is crazy to see the difference on screen knowing that in real life he is switching too. If you really get into his music, he also has short "documentary style" videos on his TH-cam channel where he talks about the creation/insparation of his songs in each of his albums. I also caught that you noticed his tatoos, and if you want to check it out he just did a tattoo tour with the GQ TH-cam channel as well. That video is a very good look into how DPR Ian is outside of his music. So there is my long comment about DPR and DPR Ian. As far as music suggestions, I would just say work your way from the beginning with his music as it all connects to tell his story. If you read all of this, first off wow, and also thank you. 🖤
Loved your reaction!!! You’re def gonna love his other stuff. I recommend MITO MOVIE PART 1, Don’t Go Insane, Peanut Butter &Tears, So Beautiful💜 also, just fyi, not only does he sing and dance, but he directs and edits all of his videos✨
MORE DPR IANNNN! this was more of a gift to fans for the new year so it’s not on spotify etc but pls react to DPR IAN - Don’t go insane MIITO MOVIE just to let you know he edits his videos himself and is basically a genius. he bases his music of his Bipolar 1 and DID which is why you will see two types of characters. MITO- his lows and Mr Insanity- his highs. both are dangerous to him
I don't know if you know or remember this; the first time you saw him was when you reacted to CL 5 Star. He's the guy who came on as her bf at the time and directed her 5 Star music video. DPR Ian, also known as Christian Yu, is a Korean-Australian singer-songwriter and the founder of Dream Perfect Regime (DPR), based in South Korea. Fun fact, DPR is not a boyband; they are a collective group of musicians and directors that started with four friends: DPR Live, DPR Cream, DPR Rem, and Ian. Ian, who used to work behind the scenes as a director, producer, and chief editor, helps create music videos and other creative projects. To fund their projects, Ian and Rem make music videos for other artists. Most of DPR Ian's music and videos are related to his struggles with bipolar disorder and D.I.D. Ian's bipolar disorder fuels his creativity and influences the lore in his videos. He's very transparent about how he creates his music, lyrics, and music videos, which he tends to show when he's live on stream.
