Yes, he was diagnosed with bipolar in this teens & DID in his 20s. He didn't say anything about DID until recently, he was ashamed by it but his feelings changed. His work (music & MVs) is helping him to understand everything too, as well the fans/audience.

I stumbled over this interview the day after I was send home with a bipolar diagnosis, meds and no further info about my newly discovered disorder. I cried for like 3 hours straight from the relief I felt

My sister's friend worked with him as an interpreter, she said he was the kindest mmost down to earth among everyone there, staff included and also very engaging in conversations, lucky her!

I knew c-clown! They weren't as popular. However, Ian was my bias in the group, so seeing him now as an artist is such an amazing experience.

Christian(DPR IAN) is VERY intelligent and talented. Not only is he a co-founder of dpr (an artist collective) he actually served/continues to serves as their creative director. He also directed and edited a verity of music videos for other artists as well as the other dpr members. On top of being a talented editor and video producer, he also produces and composes most of his own music! He also writes his own lyrics. AND on top of that he’s a great vocalist and dancer! So he’s a creative director, music video director, music video editor, music producer and composer, a singer, lyricist AND a dancer. And he’s very good at all of these things as well! All his music videos look like mini movies! It’s almost unfair that he’s also so handsome lol 😅

He is very handsome. I love him so much.

From DPR Ian's (real name, Christian Yu) Wikipedia page........ "DPR Ian was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when he was a teenager, then later in his twenties with D.I.D aka Dissociative identity disorder.[20][10] He later created an alter ego, Mito, to reflect the low episodes of his mental disorder. " He has talked about his mental health very publicly, and I have no doubt he has helped many people without even knowing it. I admire the way he deals with his own issues and still maintains a strong creative force. He's pretty much a genius, in many ways, possibly (probably) due in part to his manic episodes and D.I.D., which cause him to imagine things we probably can't even understand.

I'm so glad you decided to check him out!! Ian is insanely talented in what he does. He ofc sings but also writes his lyrics, directs and edits his mvs himself. He is very open about his mental health, you should check out his lives as he speaks more in detail there. I became a fan like two months ago and I'm so glad I found him. Also, him and mito are different people it seems because he mentioned DID in a recent live, so when he posts on insta and its mito, there is a black moon in the caption.

What a lot of people dont know is that bipolar disorder is actually a physical illness and the mania and depression are the symptoms. Bipolar disorder is genetic and it is activated by puberty. Physically it is a deterioration of the impulse control and emotional response parts of your brain. That is why a lot of the common "mood stabilizer" meds given for Bipolar disorder (such as Lamictal or Valium) are not geared towards treating chemical imbalances like depression medications are. For example I take Lamictal and its traditionally an anti-seizure medication but it works for a mood stabilizer because what it does is create this type of protective barrier around the brain that helps to keep those damaged parts of your brain from deteriorating further, and in some cases help heal a tiny bit. Symptoms are also much more complex than mania = on top of the world and then the depression. For example when I am manic my main symptom is what they call bipolar anger (but also the stereotypical not sleeping..which makes it worse). The cycles can also greatly vary. You have some people that have prolonged cycles or you have someone like me who rapid cycles several times throughout the day. Off medication, when I get angry I become the most hurtful spiteful person and I say the most awful things to people because I feel like the anger is going to explode out of my skin and somewhere Im just desperate to get that out because I just literally feel like Ill explode The messed up thing is that I realize when Im spiraling, Im fully cognizant of it - but its like Im a third person standing in my brain watching this other part of me just lose their shit and I cant do anything to stop it.. like.. a helpless bystander... idk if that makes sense anyway.. I hope this provided some insight and education sorry for the ramble.. bipolar disorder is completely complex, even more so than Ive said here

Thank you so much for your comment! I have Bipolar 2 and I hate when the symptoms are so simplified as well. It’s a spectrum and I think it’s important for people to remember when consuming Christian’s work. (On top of his DID.) I’m on Lithium and Lamictal, after trying 2.5 years of pretty much everything. I know what I feel like unmedicated and that’s enough of an incentive to adhere to my regimen. Also, my hypomania presents strangely and is mainly internalized and comes out in extreme irritability and feeling like I need to peel off my own skin. I’ve had one manic episode in which I spent $6k on sewing supplies though…I’m glad that’s not a normal occurrence in my life!

@@thespianoge its such a huge relief when you finally find the right treatment isnt it? ofc symptoms dont disappear but its a world of difference. I was misdiagnosed for much of my life, depression meds for years that just made me so much worse nd a danger to myself, then several years of no meds. I finally worked up nerve to see a psychiatrist again and was properly diagnosed and medicated within that one appointment. The psychiatrist was blown away at how many incorrect diagnoses I'd had to go through. I completely empathize with the $6k spending.. I have an incredibly hard time with money, my impulse control is very minimal and coupled with my constant (subconscious) search for something to make me happy...well... yeah..

as someone living with BPD, I can relate so much with his story. the way he is so eloquent in explaining this is beautiful

I remember this interview, I loved it. My favorite interview from Zach Sang. I don't have Bi polar but I'm no stranger to dips in mental health. It was such an insightful and relatable interview. I love your take on it.

This interview is what peak my curiosity on him and I hadn’t even heard all his music or knew too much about him. He’s such an interesting and creative individual.

Christian! he is one of my fav persons ever. Pls keep reacting more to him

He is such a nice guy and his music is amazing, you should watch his MV‘s they are little crazy movie’s.

I loved this part of the interview and your take on it. DPR Ian is a wonderful human being from everything I've seen. It's funny, because being ARMY, more than anything else besides their music, I love the members authenticity. It's what got me into DPR Ian. And he's got excellent music with story-like videos for many. He's got so many gems, but you should check out Don't Go Insane, Scaredy Cat, Peanut Butter and Tears, and So Beautiful. Christian is incredibly talented.

Absolutely adore DPR Ian and love hearing him share his story and experiences. Happy to hear your reaction to him, hope there is more to come!

When zach said cclown, I was stunned for a second simply because it's a name I don't often hear out loud. It's like an unspoken rule where you just know his kpop era was a thing but you don't actually mention it (simply because he mentioned that it was pretty traumatic) so hearing it in an interview kinda threw me off a little. It reminded me of how the character Tori reacted to a question that her friend, Michael asks her in a part of the audiobook version of Solitaire by Alice Oseman that blew up tiktok. "And the question sounds so unreal...because you never hear anyone ever asking that question in real life." That's the best way I could explain it.

Omg please keep reacting to Ian! I would love to watch your journey with completely understanding him and learning his story!

*hey Max, I luv what u said about his voice and how calm it is and it draws you in cuz that’s how we feel about yours lol. That’s why u r so likable 👏🏼 plus you have always been respectful. Anyway yes DPRIAN is great! I only started looking into him when his DONT GO INSANE song started going viral all over social media haha… but you should look into his music cuz it tells his story a lot better. (In order, at least the recent ones)*

No sé como decirlo en ingles, lo siento de antemano, pero con la claridad y sinceridad que habla de lo que sufre me dejo sin palabras... yo no lo conocia a él como artista, pero escucharlo ahora me ayudo mucho ya que actualmente estoy en proceso de diagnostico y que él hable de este tema, es sumamente importante y comprensible para mi

Did you just say MOODSWINGS? That's the name of one of his best album series 🤩🤩🤩🤩

I was almost a Crown, the name of C-Clown's fanbase. Unfortunately, they disbanded before that happened but I have a photo of Christian Yu as Rome from an official magazine shoot that I'm proud of. I'm so happy to see him doing well as a soloist and also working with others artists in DPR and more. He's beyond talented! Can't wait to finally see him on tour this September. Thank you Max for this video. For your open-mindedness & I thank Christian for being open and vulnerable with us.

I would say he's calm because he's on medication, and he said, "he's dipping." I can hear him getting "dark"....maybe..

Owwwwwww so happy you react to DPR Ian!!!!! 🥰 He is amazing, I think you'd like his music too!

C Clown, were not the top when it came to popularity but they were known for their signing abilities. They did have one hit song - "far away" which still slaps today.

C clown was not a very huge group, but on certain KZread K-pop channels at the time, their music would be within one of the playlist as a thumbnail. I think it was one 1thek. I used to remember watching their team blogs and Ian used to edit them and used to insert cartoon sound effects and images on them so he was very big in the editing video creation aspect of media before he went solo.

Yes, definitely C-Clown and was part of their fandom called Crown. Unfortunately, I don't think they got popular internationally. They were around from 2012 to 2015. I would love to see you react to at least 1 of Ian's MVs. His artistry is absolutely awe-worthy and has so much depth to it.

Omg all the dreamers in this comment section make me so happy🥹🥹❤ In my opinion, Ian really has a comforting way of inspiring love in his fans

Omg so happy to see this😭Our Ian is indeed a very honest and open artist thats one of the reasons why his fandom (our fandom name is DREAMers) relate to him so much. Since Ian is his own boss his creativity for his storylines are the best! The stories he paints are all so fascinating and beautiful! Our Ian is someone with lots of interesting thoughts and his output of the world is so unique that's why his interviews and live broadcasts are always so fun to listen or watch! He's very open about his mental health and mental disorders and that's so admirable and a ray of hope for people like us who also struggle like him. Sharing is caring! Thank you for reacting to Ian in a respectful way, have a good day♥

wow, hello! this is an interesting reaction haha i love this😭 this made my day so much brighter, thank you so much for checking out our genuine artist Ian💜

It was nice to watch, his interview as well as you reacting to this video; and for me as I know nothing about him yet, but started being curious of him because I was listening to his songs recently! He seems very authentic as you said and I think that's an amazing thing about him, I suppose that's what makes him charismatic too!

-even now I still have to google and learn about having bipolar disorder. It is literally never ending thing for me. But I love that for me it isn’t something taboo to talk about.

I have bipolar and write. I agree with what he said about leaving a project until the next cycle. It’s not a choice, you simply can’t do it.

pls more reaction about dpr ian itv

to answer your question about c-clown, i definitely heard of them when they first debuted! but i don't think any of their members or songs got really big. christian is also a really really interesting and creative artist, i didn't even know what he looked like or that he was a k-pop idol at some point when i first listened to his music - all i knew was that i was blown away so this interview is definitely a cool insight into how his mind works. thank you for your analysis, it's always interesting to hear your input!

Now you for sure should react to some of his mv’s. For example, latest

Cclown wasn't very big. They did basically everything they could to promote the group but it only got so far and they disbanded after 3 years. They weren't exactly "nobodies" though. The public knew that they existed, part of that stemmed from the fact that the kpop scene was (as Christian said) much more like a kpop group debuting a week, maybeee two. now there could be several debuts in a day. Buttttt they weren't exactly IN the spotlight enough for the public to do a full double-take, just a glance, and then they'd turn their attention back to the big groups. Another difference between then and now is that, unlike now where any random group could become the next big thing, back then general public didn't really pay attention to underrated groups and they often disbanded whether or not the music was good or similar to the big groups. Cclown's music was actually really good for that time period and in my opinion is STILL good because I still listen to their music to this day. There's a sense of nostalgia that comes with their music and there's no reason why they shouldn't have been as popular as EXO and B.A.P. They were the epitome of underrated.

Hi Max, I love your videos and how you break down their gesture/speech. Wondering if you would react to 2PM, their dynamics are interesting in my opinion because they are similar in age and act like (chaotic) group of friends, something that I rarely see in kpop groups because the usual age hierarchy that comes with the Korean culture.
