Warning: LONG explanation comment ahead all about DPR and this song. Welcome to the world of DPR Ian! Ian is Korean Australian, born and raised in Australia until he moved to Korea on a whim at 18. Then he ended up in a kpop group called C-Clown from 2012 to 2015 until they dispanded. 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 the 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 Dabin), 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 (Dissociative Identity Disorder) 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 (he has said he's not really good at it, but us fans disagree 🤣) 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 having a white eye and wearing an eye as a ring or necklace in some cases. Mr. Insanity has pure white, or multi colored eyes with lots of color, butterflies, and glitter/confetti 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 and has an influence from both. Also, he is releasing another music project soon for the Hybrid just like he has for MITO and Mr. Insanity. You really had good timing with this reaction becuase he just dropped a new single from the Hybrid album about an hour ago called SAINT. You should definitely check it out, and if you want to dive more into his music, I would recommend watching all his MVs in order to really appreciate his storytelling and how far he has come in only around 4 years of doing solo work. So there is my long comment about DPR and DPR Ian. If you read all of this, first off wow, and also thank you.
he just dropped a new track! Lil' info about him, he's a co-founder of DPR (Dream Perfect Regime), their label. DPR artists have "DPR" before their names, like DPR CREAM or DPR ARTIC. He produces, writes, DIRECTS AND EDITS HIS OWN MUSIC AND MUSIC VIDEOS. He can dance, rap, and sing. He's too talented to be true tbh. His name is Christian Yu, Korean-Australian, he was a kpop idol like a decade ago, he was the leader of the kpop group called C-Clown. In his music, he talks about his struggles with his mental health. You see, he's diagnosed with Bipolar 1 and Dissociative Identity Disorder, previously known as multiple personality disorder. In his MVs you can see different "characters" that represent his alters and different states of himself: MITO is his alter irl, Mr. Insanity is him in his manic highs, aaaaand in this video you could see The Hybrid, a state between MITO and Mr. Insanity (that's why the song is called LIMBO). Something you should know is that he says he doesn't know how to act, so when you see a character in a MV, is probably really them, he kinda knows when he's gonna switch so he programs the shootings according to when he predicts the change is gonna happen, so when we see MITO in a MV, is really him, same with the others. Now, how to differentiate the "characters": MITO usually wears black or red, when he's on screen it's all black and white, and he has one white eye, and his songs have a more orchestral sound. Mr. Insanity is very colourful and animated, a lot of people compares him to the joker lol his songs are more electronic/pop. The hybrid is essentially a combination of both, plus his representative color is blue. Hope you keep checking him out!
About the birds sound, I'm sure there is a reason for putting them in instead of ravens sound. My guess is he added them to show a disaster is going to happen like in movies when animals and birds feel something bad is happening
I think anyone would agree that you should watch and listen to all of Ian's stuff from the beginning starting with So beautiful and working in chronological order through all his mvs. It wont disappoint. He has created a world through his cinematography and music which he directs, edits and produces. His work encapsulates his struggles with Bipolar disorder and DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder). He does an incredible job portraying his feelings through visual and audio storytelling. Fans and Ian himself really enjoy reactions like yours, your analysis of the music and visuals is really interesting and I'd love to see you react to more. If you want to react to something without committing to watching all the mvs, I recommend you watch the Official Miito movie (part 1). It will let you hear a sampler of songs from the album Mood Swings into Order. This short movie shows the backstory of the character MITO who is also one of Ian's alters as part of his DID. Since you enjoy exploring music I also recommend all of the members of DPR (Its a collective of people) and their music if you want to dive down another rabbit hole lol.
So with dpr ian you can't really put him in a certain category my boy has his own genre and his no skip discography is so diverse there's literally no limits to his art both sonically & visually Ps: Ian/Christian Yu directs ,edits ,writes ,composes and produces almost all of his works. of course he has a team to help him with but he's so involved in everything he creats & that's what makes him a very special artist to me
Yes, ALL of his music is rhis good. Maybe not your favorite genre for everything but definitely a good song, individually. You are so lucky ro get to listen to all the albums. Have fun.
Looks like DPR is getting a new listener 🤭👍 Every single MV ian released is a visual masterpiece. He just dropped a new MV called 'SAINT', wich is, again, top tier. I subbed to see more dpr ian reactions 👍
Amazing artist, isn't he ? I recommend his 'Miito Movie Part 1' it's highlighting few songs from one of his abums, and his new song "SAINT" just dropped. Hoping to see you react to him soon again.
The genere is DPR. We are just experiencing the chaos in Ian's head when we go through the MITO era.
your timing is impeccable bc hes releasing a new mv in an hour lol
Word haha funny how the universe sometimes works 😂
I bet it's been said a hundret times before in the comments but he makes his own music video's, he's so frikkin good
Wow that's insane
he's an incredible artist, you def need to check out more
💯💯💯
How many rabbit holes can one 60 year old woman go down in one night. Thank you all.
All of them 😂😭
