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. At 18 he moved to Korea on a whim, and ended up being part of a kpop group called C-clown from 2012 to 2015. Ian is now 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. As far as a recommendation on what music to check out next, if you want to see his more Mr. Insanity style music I would check out "Don't Go Insane" next (It is sort of the song after this one in his storyline, not release order, because at the end of this MV we see Mr. Insanity in the purple suit). Or you could just start at the beginning of his career with "So beautiful" and work your way back from there. I also noticed your comment on his tattoos, and no the crosses on his face are not real, but he does have a LOT of tattoos. I recommend checking out the Tattoo Tour video he did with GQ to see more of his personality outside of his music career if you end up getting into his stuff! So there is my long comment about DPR and DPR Ian. If you read all of this, first off wow, and also thank you.

DPR Ian not only directs and edits his own music videos but also takes charge of creating visuals for most DPR members. Videos marked with "DPR +IAN Visual" indicate Ian's directorial touch, and when the signature is flipped, it means he also performs in front of the camera. His artistic journey is deeply influenced by his daily struggle with Bipolar Disorder & DID. The character MITO, distinguished by a white eye, symbolizes his low manic condition and serves as a representation of his alter personality. Conversely, Mr. Insanity, adorned in a vibrant, clown-like ensemble with wolf claws, embodies his manic highs, characterized by extreme energy and chaos. Limbo represents the transitional state between manic lows and highs, described in interviews as a hybrid character with the worst traits from both spectrums. For those interested in exploring his work, a suggested starting order is: MITO I phase: So beautiful No blueberry Nerves Scaredy Cat Welcome to the show MITO II phase: MIITO movie (seraph, 1 shot, mood, ribbon) Dear Insanity Phase: Peanut butter & tears So I Danced Don't go insane Limbo

Ian has DID and bipolar disorder - his music represents his struggles with that.

'LIMBO' Christian Yu or DPR IAN is an Australian Rapper, Singer and Director. He was a member of a boy group called 'C-Clown'. He directs his own Music Videos. He edits his own Music Videos.

Nice reaction, fellas! DPR Ian conceptualizes and edits all his music videos himself. As some others have stated, he is pretty open about having bipolar and dissociative identity disorder- his videos are a creative, artistic interpretation of what he experiences inside his mind when he is going through manic episodes.. he has personality alters that represent his highs and lows.. this video depicts a hybrid of his two alters.. Mr Insanity (chaotic highs) and Mito (manic lows, his protective alter). He stated that he was in a manic state when he filmed this video. He is an incredibly talented, yet humble artist and I’m happy to see new listeners finding his music. One of my favorites from him is his short film SERAPH/ONE SHOT/MOOD/RIBBON. it’s 4 catchy songs and really showcases awesome visuals 😊 subscribed!

the last scene, the guy in the purple suit is from the previous mv, DON'T GO INSANE

Sighs. Smiles in the dark. I loved this gentlemen! Another gift from the squad! Had Sub Urban vibezzzz. This artist sets his own tone with his instrumentals though. Thank you from the depth of my soul! Yes! Yes! Further down the rabbit hole!

Welcome to DPR! It's a collective of individual artists that help each other produce their work. Christian's music has a running storyline, this is like the last video in it, so you could check those out in order. I'm sure someone already commented it. He has a background in metal, hip hop, and Korean pop music. His song, Nerves, would be the most rock inspired song, and my personal favorite. Great reaction! Thanks for giving Ian a chance.

more dpr ian !!

The story line: -> Limbo -> Don't go insane -> Don't go insane (OFFICIAL TEASER) -> So I Danced -> Peanut butter & Tears -> Mr Insanity (Audio) I think that's the story line for Mr insanity please don't skip Don't Go Insane (Official Teaser),, For MITO story line : -> So Beautiful -> No Blueberries -> Nerves -> SKINS (Demo) Then there is this : Seraph | One Shot | Mood | Ribbon Official MITO Movie (Part 1) I guess this one is in between MITO and Mr Insanity and before Limbo thank you so much for your reaction videos of DPR Ian and... welcome to the other side.

you should do “Don’t go insane” next that purple outfit is in that and a continuation. Limbo was more of a prequel

MoRe DpR PLeAsE 🧟‍♂️☂️🩶💤

Please react to DPR LIVE, he makes awesome rap and rnb music. A suggested would be LEGACY, CHEESE AND WINE, PLAYLIST AND JASMINE
