First of all yes he's korean but born and raised in Australia! :D ok so MITO is the character he made who represents his dips. In this alternate universe, there's this god named mr. insanity (ian) and he created mito and he's the SERAPH in that world. In our world, Seraph is the highest rank in Christian angelology. However, Mito got greedy and was jealous of all the other creations, and felt he was the only one who deserved love. mr insanity saw that darkness and banished him, so MITO felt betrayed and resented everything that Mr. insanity was and vowed to infest his every creation. This world is Ian's mind dealing with bipolar disorder hence "moodswings in this order (mito 1) moodswings in to order (mito 2)" This is very personal to him. This is all of him. This is going to be a trilogy btw! 😁 Last but not the least, idk if you already know but he wrote, composed, screenwrote, directed and edited (including visual effects!!) all the things you've watched from him ! Truly a remarkable artist!

He actually said that MITO is going to be a trilogy, so yeah there are connections between them!! He inspires me creatively as well!😱 SO glad your back Caitin!!💓 OH, and another thing, Ian has bipolar disorder, and he depicts his other side with the character he named MITO (italian for myth) and the deep voice is always MITO talking.

sometimes i forget that he was the main dancer of his old group back in the day, truly love seeing him dance, he looks like he's truly in his element !. TRULY A MASTERPIECE INDEED ! hope you're well caitlin ! i hope you'll be okay inn the future

Funfact: He was the main dancer in a group called C-Clown (I LOVED THEY SO MUCH) before join the DPR gang. He used to use his korean name in that time, but his name is Christian Yu and he is one of the first Aussies in kpop. He was just the MV director and helped the boys in some productions and MITO is a way to him speak about his mental health struggles and personal feelings in the most perfect way.

this is really a masterpiece that they made! nobody else is doing it like dpr omg

I feel like you'd love the documentary of his first album (moodswings in this order). he talks about his thoughts and the stories of the songs and you also get to see how he works on his music.

this man does not make art.. he IS art!!!!Honestly, he is one of the most complete artists that I've seen..as an artist, his creations convey not only emotions but also messages, he leaves a footprint on the world! The way he conveys the messages it's surreal, honestly..this album deserves to receive awards. What I love the most is the visual production linked to the musical, as everything connects, he uses the sound elements to convey the message without necessarily saying something

the way this freaking album has me in a chokehold and this movie has the most stunning and visually interesting and pleasing images i have seen this year. nobody does it like ian. nobody!

there was also a documentary from last era where he explained more abt his character mito and the significance of each song in that album. definitely a must watch to rlly understand his vision of where exactly he’s going with this project!! he also had a recent interview with rolling stone and that was a good read

As someone who is a bit sensitive to sensory stimulation, girl I got emotional watching this too. The music, the cinematography, gives me such goosebumps. I am like the perfect audience for what DPR stands for lol

I cannot even begin to put into words how much I love this project. I love how it tells a story, and feels like a _whole_ when listening from start to finish. I am in love with the styling, the cinematic approach to exposéing the music in the MV’s, the absolutely phenomenal editing. It’s just so _exciting_ to watch and listen to. ^^ My favourite song so far is definitely Ribbon, the outro on it is heavenly. DPR REM really outdid himself on producing that beat wow.

22:19 omgad u hit it on the bone!! that’s literally what ian was going for with the fallen angel

Not you ending it on "It's so beautiful" 🤣 I'm glad you liked it, and cool reaction/vid as always❤ I've been following DPR for a whiiile and they always come up with amazing stuff (IAN directs/edits his own MVs) Take the time you need to react to the albums, they're great ;)

yes masterpiece album by dpr ian is back!on repeat album

too many people seem to not know that ian used to be in a kpop group (c-clown), and he was the main rapper and dancer. he also used to do b-boying. so, of course he can bust out these moves, lol just super excited to see it again :)

I’m so glad to see someone else who connects with this as deeply as I do! I thought it might be that DPR IAN and I are close in age (both 1990 Virgos), but he’s really just that skilled.

I'm so glad that you are back and also happy that you took some time off 😂. This is a masterpiece. I just noticed by watching your reaction that towards the very end it shows his tattoos changing and spreading. I noticed in the beginning of his mv's that when the other side of him takes over his tattoos were all more extensive. I swear you can watch them over and over and notice new things. I love this

He is seriously one of the most impressive artists I’ve ever seen. Love him!!!

im so happy to see someone else reacting to his videos! It's very rare to see people finding and appreciating his art nowadays T_T

Ian has bipolar disorder and he found a very artistic way to represent all of this through his music based on his own experience and acceptance of who he is as a person. So I think this is a complete work of art. I loved your reaction Caitlin, I totally identified with your reaction🤭🤭💜

This man is one of the last beacons of Real unapologetic Art in "Mainstream" Media these days.... because of his music and his Video background he can make every decision how he envisioned it..... both Album and all the Videos are truely beautiful Art in his highest form so much respect for him and so much gratitude towards the other DPR guys for creating a space where someone like this can exist in an industry ruled by coperate people who try to Form artists so they make the most amount of money.... (Not saying hes the only one) but i have never seen someone like him.... it really feel to me like what people talk how all these old composers like Mozart etc behaved.... it doesnt have this "oh now comes this now this" like we already have a blueprint of how everything should be.... it feels just unapologetic.... just him

If you do an album reaction I would recommend listening to his first album Moodswings In This Order and any mv from the album you didn't see (I think Welcome To The Show, Scaredy Cat). The mvs are supposed to be watched in a certain order, but I don't remember at this time. And he did a documentary vid talking through the songs in his first album which I highly recommend to watch to understand the story more and see some of the work behind the first album. Love they reaction 💜🌗 not a lot of people react to DPR so I'm always glad to see reactions.😄

I swear you can't blink at all while watching this because you're just going to end up missing something. This is honestly pure artistry. I think he is just on a whole another level. I honestly need part 2 and possibly 3 maybe like as soon as possible because this is a whole journey. I didnt know a documentary was going to be released until I saw Anitra's reaction. I am honestly looking forward to it.

I'm so glad you had DPR in you first look season three. I never would have found this group of artists on my own and they're amazing.

this album was literally a religious experience for me, thoroughly enjoyed your reaction & i relate hard !!

i cannot wait for you to react to the entire album it's so so good

IM SO HAPPY YOU'RE REACTING TO THIS

He did an ig live couple if days ago and went through his thought process for the album. You should check it out if you want to understand more indepth. 😊

I knew u gonna reaction to this real art

the lighter sounds you love in his songs relate to his character called mito who is essentially his 'bad'/dark side which you already rightly said :D!

Truly a creative visionary, IAN is amazing but the whole DPR team is just so freaking talented its so cool to see. This album will definitely be going on my list as one of if not the best album of this year!

Best album of the year for me 🤯

major props to christian but you also are very lively ! i was super entertained by your reaction, 30 mins flew by 🙌🏽

I’ve only been listening to his songs after the album dropped tbh :) I’m in so deep

Christian, and the DPR gang itself create one of a king pieces.. The visuals are as loud as the vocals! The effort they put in their work, and the result of it is insane! They are really amazing! He always amaze me.

Thank you so much for reacting to this. ☺ More ppl need to know about this creative talented fine ass man. The amount of views for the movie is way too low.

After I watched your First Look video and I fell down the rabbithole of Ian's music and storyline. Everything he and the whole DPR team makes is so brilliant! love you, Caitlyn!! so glad you're back. you're doing amazing!

WOWZERS, I discover a lot of artists with you & DPR IAN is one of them. 7:27 and 7:40 ❤i thought were such powerful vocals & visuals I FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG 11:05 oooo giving me haunted orchestra vibes 11:31 LMAO 😲my face too girl like "who hurt him" because i don't want to be the one who did it 14:12 haha so much was going on here😅 15:43 what the freak 😳 that was cool 16:25 this scene was lowkey so relatable like the voices in your head subsiding, you feel set free, then you feel attacked again maybe because of an outside trigger you have no control over....hopefully that made sense lol THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT REACTION!❤🎶

Thank you for reacting to him! I’m very happy that I’m going to see them in concert in Sept here in Florida. They are doing a world tour this year. You should look at the album art too. Very creative.

The whole album is insane! Truly a masterpiece and a full experience.

DPR gang are so talented and welcome back Caitlin!

Caitlin, you should watch the first documentary about MITO, it's 13min long, things will be much clearer to follow and you get to see how he creates his songs and what he expects to express, it's really good ☺️✨

you need to watch the first part, the first album teasers and videos to understand Mito (cuz I think this is Miito and then ll be Miiito (?) ) more, like the song Welcome to the show (that song hits home with me), much love and thnkx for reacting (:, not bad x)

I’m so glad you reacted him🥹🥹 I hope a lot of people get to know him better, his art deserve the world. And yeah after the music drop he actually go less than 2 hours live on ig and talk about a lot of stuff, it was helpful to Understand & catch everything he worked on, I see some coclips on KZfaq if anyone interesting 🙌🏻

This is why I love your reactions bc you’re always saying things that I’ve either said or thought😅 I’m just overwhelmed with inspiration when it comes to Ian. Absolutely in awe. Also THE ALBUM IS INSANE

Omg I relate to your reaction so much! My chin was literally on the floor the whole time I watched this and listened to the album... It's just....... SO GOOD!!!

HE ATE

i was soooo excited to see your reacrion to this!!! i was hoping you'd be on the lookout for it but i didnt actually think it be out already!!! this movie is on a whole new level, and im super eexcited for your rractions on this! the album is a banger too, following up on moodswings in this order as for being one of the best of their year. gonna watch now! ly

Thank you so much for this reaction Caitlin MY FAVORITE KZfaqR ❤. HE IS INSANE, SO MUCH TALENT IN ONE MAN.

Every time I wait only for your reactions with a sinking heart. Thank you very much for such a return, emotions, reaction. Happiness to you 💜✨

For the interview you're looking for, he has one with JRKEML. It's in 2-3 parts, they dissected each song and music videos in the album.

Hi Caitlin loved the reaction❤️❤️💯

I love your reactions so much, please (TToTT) I've been hyperfixating on this album since I finally listened to it weeks ago, istg

I was so excited when i seen thiss!!!! Your reactions are exactly like mine were when i first seen this masterpiece. btw love your channel, could watch you all day :)

I love seeing your reactions to DPR IAN! I feel like I was the exact same when I first watched. Blown away, overwhelmed, but also giddy haha 😂

Ya'll when I tell you I got my life and teard up listening to this album. I--This is a NO SKIP ALBUM! The vibes, cinemetography- The whole package! Everything was just immaculate.

When I saw your first reaction, I already knew you entered that DPR hole! An other masterpiece right there! Cant wait for your album reaction! Hope you got to buy a ticket for the concert! Now back into the video.

I'm in desperate need in more dpr ian and dpr live reactions I'm loving this 💕

I think you should read his interview for rolling stone (i think it was that) to understand this whole Ian's mind. Or just watch a documentary from MITO, you will be aware of so many things later. Trust me

Yes Christian, he is quite something... Ribbon is top of my playlist atm... what a tune!

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 이 누님 리액션 맛집이시네

caitlin youll LOVE the first album and also he has a documentary about it, its really interesting he talks about the songs and im telling you he is just mezmerising!!! One of the best songs ive heard in forever is Welcome to the Show from mito its literally a masterpiece and it also has a video. I would adooore to see you reacting to them songs, i love your reactions truly!! Hope youre well luv

Thank goodness for the Shazam app, I Shazamed like 5 of his songs. Ballroom Extravaganza Seraph 1 Shot Mood Ribbon

I wonder how can a person be so talented in so many different things :')

I will see them in concert next month! I can't wait

Thank u I become DPR fan because of your reaction

I am looking forward to the album reaction!🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖💖💖

DPR IS INSANE! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!

it’s only august but i already know this is going to be my top streamed album of 2022

6:09 We got exactly that and i'm so glad!! JRE did an interview with him and he went over his miito short film and explained the meanings and the behind the scenes it was so interesting!

Please please please watch the Memories In Disorder MITO documentary!! Since you said that you want to hear his thought process on everything that is exactly that and it is so cool. He’s an amazing artist.

Ballroom extravaganze makes me emotional EVERY SINGLE TIME

something i recommend for you to do on your own is to listen to their mindset podcast! it's great to know each of the dpr members as individuals, how different they are and how they came together.

Christian is an artist and the art itself, everything he creates is so raw and beautiful, his true self. You can see all the passion and creativeness he puts into what he creates. It would be lovely if you would react to his first album mito and the scaredy cat mv, and his documentary on mito. Everything will make sense, the beginning of everything. ❤️

Caitlin, you're gonna love the album. Seriously, it's incredible. He truly is an artist and I'm so thankful I get to see him through his journey, it's a privilege. Today his interview in the Zach Sang Show was released. He talked about his life and this album, and how music comes into play when managing his bipolar disorder and how it, at the same time, affects his music. It's a really interesting interview, I think you'd like it. Not to react to it or anything, but just to catch a glimpse of his thought process when making his art. You should check it out if you want!

Omg i never expected more dpr on this channel like i bared myself not to do so bc obvs it was part of 1st look series. BUT Caitlin thank you so much for this!!!❤❤❤ Dpr is really sth else. I cant believe how underrated they are. And also both of the albums are total masterpieces. I have never listened to an album that would cause this much emotional impact. And like if i was ever asked what album describes me as a person i would definitely choose mito 1 or 2.

I’m a little late to the party and pardon the novel but here’s the inside scoop from someone else with Bipolar Disorder regarding Ian’s work: Many people have pointed out that 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. I researched him and found out his Bipolar I 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) 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. Yes. 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 after I’ve gotten it out into the world. 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. And yes, 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 other people 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. 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 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. People with Bipolar Disorder are consistently linked with brilliant art. I think this is because they’re so deeply in touch with a wide variety of emotional experience 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!

Mito and Miito are such good albums His creativity is so dope

He’s going on tour I’m seeing him and live in Charlotte today is the first city on the tour hopefully you get to see them !

You know shit's about to go down when Caitlin Is just standing there, clutching her pearls! HE ATE, MAMA, HE LEFT NO CRUMBS!!

BAHAHHAA Caitlin me too me too DPR Ian is just another level you should definitely check out the album!! It’s really good!!

Caitlin you should react to DPR Live’s documentary of ‘is anybody out there’

The end of the mito movie teaser makes me cry everytime

The most talented Australian alive today along with Kevin Parker. Fact. He is the most exceptional freaking Aussie export since.... forever. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

In IAN's first MITO album, the initials stood for Moodswings In This Order (Disorder), almost like an autobiography of his bipolar condition. Then MIITO's initials (where II stands for "too" or "two") stands for Moodswings In Too (into) Order. So there's signs of him using these albums to express who he is but also to figure himself out almost. categorizing emotions and the swings of his moods. Flipping the word Mood also gives you Doom which was where he made the choice to remove the voices yet ended up hurting himself regardless of them being there. The kidnapping and harm happening in the videos correlate with the wanted poster because MITO is wanted, but MITO is Ian. Even though he is bipolar, it's still all him. It's like he's trying to locate and kill the part of him that he identifies as a different person completely, but ends up just stabbing himself in the gut. Ian also pointed out he'd written and produced a lot of this album both in and out of bipolar episodes so the call and responses and the contrasting changes throughout the songs are majorly affected by that. happy to have you back Caitlin!

I really recommend his interviews because he explain the story of MITO and the others (Mr. Insanity, Miss Understood, Seraph and more that we gonna meet)

The final song is the best part of the video

Basically the story that he is talking about in this trilogy explained by DPR IAN: There is a God (who is a clown) who decided to create archangels on his image, based on part of himself. Each one of them has the "mission" to spread a story and the first one to be created is MITO. But Mito was jalous that God created other beings, so he began to act out you know. So God banished him after seeing the bad in him and Mito was kicked out. He turned into a... dark emperor/demon king and he made the vow to corrupt/infect every god created beings' story so he can remain the main character in every story, songs, etc. So basically IAN is "corrupted" by Mito The evolution of the 3 album are in reverse. The first album (the black album) is Mito as we know him today, the second album (the red album) is his fall from "heaven" and the begining of the spread of his corruption. The third album (that will be white) might be about, how he was before getting kicked out. This is what I understood from a interview, and him talking about it. Be free to correct if you see an error. But I guess it's free for interpretation.

At the end, he is trying to open the miito box in the begining, I think Miito came out and traped the creator(the guy with the sparkly jacket from the beginning) into the box and took over the creator's body. Also I think that the hotel room that he went back into is actually inside of the creator or better yet inside of the creator's head as the wallpaper looks too similar to the jacket he is wearing in the beginning. Cheers( the wanted sign says Miito wanted dead or alive)

He is a creative genius!!!

lol your reaction is perfect

Your eyes getting bigger and bigger is a WHOLE MOOD

The tour is coming close to you!

7:38 you don't understand i had the same exact reaction!!!!

Mr. Christian Yu is the whole deal

YES! You're totally noticing all the right things from the MVs. You're right about the voice changes, when he talks normally it's Ian but when it goes low it's Mito speaking. All the music videos are linked and create one big storyline (MIITO movie part 1 -> So Beautiful -> No Blueberries -> Welcome To The Show -> Nerves -> Scaredy Cat. I think MIITO movie part 1 is like an origin story for Mito). The story isn't necessarily about christianity but he does include a few biblical references in Seraph and 1 Shot and it features some kind of a higher power who created Mito into this world. I cannot wait for part two cause I'm way too invested in the story lol. He talked about the stories for every song in his stationhead live yesterday ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kJljhNR_yde1eoE.html ) and in Zach Sangs radioshow just a few minutes ago, I recommend you watch it, it was really interesting ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n7aBhNGiztfDpWQ.html ) :)

You should watch his recent interview with zach sang, he explains about his album and others things. It’s very interesting 🙏

Dpr is amazing

Oh I’m in love with you now Thanks Christian

Ian is a genius.
