Also he will often use "HE" instead of "I" It's because DPR ian has bipolar disorder and when he says "HE" he talks about his "alter ego" MITO It's when he is in his lows. There is a whole storyline around MITO. It's super interesting!

Okay so DPR Ian (Christian Yu), born in September 1990, is a Korean-Australian producer, director, editor, singer, dancer and song-writer. He basically does it all. He used to make breakdance videos for youtube (Barom Yu) until he was scouted to be in a k-pop group C-Clown where he went by the name Rome, he was the leader, main rapper and main dancer for the group. After the group disbanded in 2015 he went to make his own company DPR. He made his solo debut in 2020 with a single "So Beautiful" and published an album called Moodswings In This Order a.k.a MITO in 2021. 2022 he published his second album Moodswings In To Order a.k.a MIITO or MITO 2. Not only does he edit and direct almost all of DPR's projects but also for other Korean artists such as Mino, Loco and Taeyang. DPR (Dream Perfect Regime) is a creative company that Ian founded. Ian works as the CEO and other artists in the company are DPR Live (rapper and singer), DPR CREAM (producer, singer, and rapper) and (DPR) Cline (marketing and production). They're like an extremely talented family :) Christian has a bipolar disorder so Mito is kind of like his alter ego and him in his manic state. You can hear Mito in the songs every time the voice is distorted lower. All of his music videos are linked and create one big storyline (MIITO movie part 1 -> So Beautiful -> No Blueberries -> Nerves -> Scaredy Cat ->Welcome To The Show. I think MIITO movie part 1 is supposed to be like an origin story for Mito).

I didnt knew that. Always thought DPR LIVE founded the company, of course in colaboration with DPR CREAM and DPR IAN. But I remember in some interview they talked about this and said it was LIVE´s idea.

Ian's first language is English. He WAS a Kpop idol, but he's not technically anymore. He's considered R&B. :D Interestingly, most of the artists in the Dream Perfect Regime are either gyopo (Ethnically Korean but born or raised outside of Korea) or spent a very long time abroad. So a lot of their songs are English and a lot of their MVs have themes or topics that are considered "taboo" in Korea, like mental health.

I Didnt see anyone explain this, so I’m about to. The reason why “DPR Visuals + Ian” is backwards is because instead of being behind the camera like Christian usually is, he’s in front of it so we are seeing his sort of watermark from his point of view. Also the ”+Ian” is supposed to be a nod to his name Christian, which is supposed to be like Christ(cross) and Ian.

I also recommend you watching his interview that he did with Zach Sang to get more of an insight of his personality, his mind and more.

I watched full video even though i have watched Ian’s videos soooo many times. I just want people to appreciate his art💜

''the edit is so good'' me: wait til you know who edits this lol

omg yay so happy that you did this! it must have been a lot to take in all at once but i'm thankful that you decided to check out dpr ian! there are a lot of theories surrounding his whole storyline but, as he mentioned in his documentary, the primary theme or even the foundation of the theme is MITO which is almost the personification of his bipolar disorder - like how he mentioned having another person within him. But his music videos can represent different sets of emotions and characters. Ian does produce and direct a LOT by himself and the whole DPR team kind of pitches in their opinions and such (from what i've seen at least), i wouldn't even call DPR a label since i see them more as a creative team or a group of creative directors. They're truly a talented unit, the people that you'll see the most are probably DPR Live (Dabin), DPR Ian (Christian), DPR REM (Scott), DPR CLINE (Jimmy) and DPR CREAM (Kyungmo) but they have other managers, producers and creative stylists that are also a part of the team like Joon, Artic and Kang Gun for instance. The reason why Ian (in the documentary) said that it's been a while since he's been in front of the camera is because he used to be in a kpop group called C-Clown with the stage name Rome for about 3 years until they disbanded in 2015. He kind of recognised that kpop music videos were becoming dull and decided to create the masterpieces that he has made so far, I really appreciate how he brings his ideas to life through both his music and incredible visuals - as you mentioned, the editing in his (and other DPR artists') videos is pretty mad and unique. Oh and Ian is Australian not British lmao This comment is a bit of a mess but I could talk about DPR forever istg, really glad you enjoyed his work!

Another way u can tell mito apart from Ian is mito is missing an eye which he wears on one of his hands as a ring so when u see Christian wearing a ring that looks like an eye or missing an eye it’s most likely mito. 😂

He, in all his forms, is Art! Love Ian

Watch his Zach sang interview, you'll get more insight of him

YESS the visuals of his productions are always insane i love his artistry so much

Cristian Is art!!!! I love Your music, his lyrics, hi is amazing artis!!

i really sat here and watched all of it as I drew, so thanks for the compilation. I love DPR Ian's vibe and music a lot, and you're cool!

Thank you so much for reacting to his work, he's one of my favorite artists and I can relate to his experiences with being bipolar. It's intense but beautiful, and I think Ian is a true artist in how he creates and depicts his emotions. 🧡

I'm so happy your doing a deep dive into DPR Ian his stuff is absolutely stunning.

My wishes have been granted :) . I haven't stopped listening to scaredy cat since it came out

god damn besdies itsjanay aint nobody showin luv except for da bois .. respect to you everyone else are snowflakes

You said I : you don't need to watch the whole thing, I am going to react to a lot of dpr ian in this video it's going to be long. Me : subscribe

He is such a mood

Hey this is an old upload but just so you know the video's visual effects of Mito Movie was also made by Ian. He truly is insanely talented.

Hi first video that I discovered of you I really like your reaction and I am a woman, I find you so beautiful such a cute and beautiful face without artifice a beauty ! 🥰 ( Salut première vidéo que je découvre de toi j'aime beaucoup t'a réaction et je suis une femme , je te trouve tellement belle un visage aussi mignon et beau sans artifice une beauté ! 🥰 ) Ian from DPR is one of the only artists who thrills me so much even if I generally understand only half of the text and even - - ' :,) I like almost all of his sounds and it's rare to find artists or the whole album you like the vibe 100% !! (Clip, Music , Vidéo , Effect, Créativité , Unique )

*cries in British* NO HES AUSSIE LUV

Pardon the novel but I think it may be helpful to have the perspective of a Real Live Person with Bipolar Disorder chime in. Here we go: As many others have said, DPR Ian has been open about his Bipolar I diagnosis, which colors much/most of his work. When I first discovered his music (leading with So Beautiful) I was floored. I didn’t know anything about him but I saw myself so intimately in his work which was so visceral and chilling and haunting and nightmarish. I researched him and found out his Bipolar 1 diagnosis, and it all clicked. I felt seen in a way I never have before. Two years ago (finally! In my 30s) I was diagnosed with Bipolar II (so less of a “high” and not ever in a fun way) and also rapid cycling like he is. His work is SPOT. ON. for my experience and I understand how it can be so difficult for a lot of people to parse. Being in one’s bipolar mind can be extremely disorienting, yanked from a high to a low at any time. The high manic phases aren’t all fun and games and are often highly destructive. Substance abuse, risk taking behavior, self destructive behavior in relationships, etc have repercussions just like the dark depressive side. It can be just as terrifying as he depicts, and I’ve never seen it displayed so accurately as he has. As someone in the arts myself, it is exhausting to get your heart and soul out into the world but I also feel “purged” of all of it somehow. I think that Ian probably feels similarly with his own creative endeavors. It’s important to stress that everyone’s experiences are different (which is why it often takes decades to properly diagnose) but there are many common through lines. With Bipolar, some people hear voices, or just a more audible subconscious. When I’m not properly medicated, I feel more of an incomprehensible jabbering/static sensation when I’m in a more manic state. There is never any quiet. When you’re in tune with your body and used to how your cycles work, you can start to feel the “flip.” I think that’s what a lot of the whispers are telling him. He knows it’s coming, ready or not. He recently did an amazing interview on the Zach Sang Show that a lot of people have mentioned where he talks at great length about his struggles with mental illness and how it helps and hinders his creative process. He also talks about the extensive concepts he explores in his work and it’s definitely worth a listen. kzread.info/dash/bejne/m4SFs9CqmdTFpZM.html I am so grateful that he is able to be so articulate about the way he experiences his life. I’ve never heard someone famous talking about living with Bipolar Disorder with such candor and frankness. I hope you can find the time to watch the interview, as he was able to enlighten some people who just know about Bipolar Disorder by what they’ve seen in movies. Ian shows us that it’s possible to be a functional and brilliant member of society and not just a guy screaming on a roof that he’s Jesus or something. I’d also like to point out that people with Bipolar Disorder are consistently linked with making brilliant art. I think this is because they’re so deeply in touch with a wide variety of emotional experiences outside the breadth of most others, and can somehow transfer that into their work. Through study, if not proper diagnosis because of the historical factors, it is assumed that Van Gogh, Ernest Hemingway, Virginia Woolf, Beethoven, Lord Byron and more had Bipolar Disorder, not to mention many famous current artists, musicians, and actors. So yeah. Thanks for getting to the end of this, and I hope this helped make more sense of this brilliant yet puzzling and disturbing masterpiece! Thank you so much for reacting it!

@@itsJanaychannel you’re very welcome. As you’ve probably gathered, I’m one of those people who won’t shut up about mental health so I love sharing my experiences. I know that, in many ways, experiences are abstract until you meet someone, like a queer or trans person or someone with a disability. Hearing their experiences directly from them makes them personal and humanizes them. Not just your preconceptions or only exposure being in media. So I try to do that with Bipolar disorder because it’s one of those things that most people still don’t talk about, even in mental health spheres. Okay okay I’ll stop now! So yeah, thanks for reviewing Ian and falling in love with his work! He’s such a special artist.
