I love your reactions. This is going to long so I'm putting this under the cut. A bit later I will send a list of his works so whenever you all want to react to him you can use that as a guide. DPR Ian (Christian Yu) is an amazing artist - founder of Dream Perfect Regime, director, editor, singer songwriter. DPR is made up of a collective of artists - DPR Ian, DPR Cream, DPR Artic and DPR Live (who is currently on hiatus and doing his own thing under his real name Dabin). Prior to that he was part of a metal band in high school then in early adulthood during his university years he saved up money and moved from Australia (where he was born and raised) to South Korea (to learn more about his own culture). Ian has a love of dancing and used to upload b-boy tutorial videos under the name Barom Yu. Barom is his Korean name while Christian is his birth name. Later through being scouted on the street and then auditions he became the leader of C-Clown with Rome as his stage name. Even while in C-Clown he was interested in what goes on behind the camera so he filmed a lot of their vlogs and even edited those videos as well under the name DPR - D Pink Reel. C-Clown was only active from 2012-2015. Ian has talked about how difficult the company made it for him to leave even after the group disbanded because of his contract however he was finally able to pursue directing. DPR was his dream that he co-founded and the abbreviation changed to Dream Perfect Regime. I love your responses to him from the getgo. This was my introduction to him and after that I deep dived into his works and have never regretted it since. In addition to being such an awesome artist he is one of the most genuine individuals ever. He cares about his people a lot - family, friends, DPR team and Dreamers. Another important thing to know about DPR Ian is that all of this creativity is inspired by his own personal experiences. Ian has both D.I.D. and bipolar 1. Dissociative Identity Disorder is a defense mechanism that helps an individual cope with trauma through the development of dissociated identities or alters. D.I.D can only be developed due to trauma, serious neglect, even witnessing traumatic events being experienced at a young age. Children are developing their personality from birth and experiences and have loose identity states because their brains are still developing and if adverse situations happen to then around under the ages of 7-9 (leeway given - under the age of 10) and the child cannot cope then these identity states cannot integrate into one complex personality because the brain basically compartmentalizes memories of these experiences. Alters develop with their own roles, ages, genders, likes, dislikes and how they appear in the mind. For bipolar 1, people would experience manic highs but only some would experience lows. In relation to Ian's experience he experiences both the highs and lows of bipolar 1. For D.I.D he has two alters - Mito and Insanity/Mr. Insanity. One important thing to note about alters is that, depending on the system (system of alters) they can gain control of the body through either positive or negative triggers or if there is possibly more intentional control between switches. A switch basically means to switch control of body. Whoever is in control of the body is said to be fronting/at the front. Ian has talked about trying to force a switch (which is a bad thing so he doesn't do it anymore) and said he cannot control his switches. Mito is the alter that Ian calls his guardian and has the role of a Protector. Mito is also a trauma holder so whenever Ian has a negative emotional response during his bipolar lows or at any period that he cannot handle, Mito would switch. Insanity has a different personality from Mito and would switch during his manic highs and from my interpretation his experiences with Insanity seems uniquely different from his experience with Mito. However to explain Insanity a bit we need to briefly touch on the video itself. Don't Go Insane (based on my interpretation) is a depiction of the experience of manic highs in dangerous and even high adrenaline situations with a switch to Mr. Insanity/Peak Insanity (the one with white hair). So from here this is how I would explain Insanity within what Ian has spoken about irl. During an interview he has talked about dissociating during his manic highs and also about the feeling of when he himself is experiencing a high when he basically comes back down he feels disconnected from that state. I've heard that can be an experience from people who suffer from bipolar because they feel different from how they usually are. However there are no alters in bipolar, only D.I.D and OSDD (Other Specified Dissociative Disorder). However has talked about dissociating during his highs and lows and as dissociating is part of the D.I.D experience there would be switches. In relating to his real life experiences, I have read one comment mentioning that Ian remembers what Insanity does because he's usually co-conscious with him (note that being co-conscious or even co-fronting is a possibility in D.I.D but I'd need to catch up on his lives just to verify if that happens between Ian and Insanity). However during life or death situations then Mr. Insanity would switch with Ian. This is what the video depicts for me. The pink villagers with their pitchforks, Ian being tied up and then running away with The Green all depict dangerous situations where the switch between Insanity-coded Ian and Mr. Insanity happens. Also the presence of Mr. Insanity can be theorized as foreshadowing. The reason why it's foreshadowing is because the scenes you see here are part of a lucid dream that Ian is having and can also relate to the experiences of inner worlds which some people with D.I.D can experience and also because of the journey he is going on within that dream and the decisions that are being made throughout that journey. Plus since the timeline isn't in order, that's another reason why I consider this foreshadowing. The place that we see Insanity-coded Ian at I believe has been theorized to be Calico. In the song Calico, Mito has lost his heart there. This is why as I believe we don't see Mito as himself fully but him in form of black smoke because he was trying to protect Ian from the villagers. I remembered the first time I had watched this mv, without knowing anything about Ian, the storyline made me think of D.I.D and then soon after I learn of his mental health experiences. Certain scenarios made me think of dissociating, switching, memory loss possibly and the presence of alters. One of the last things I wanted to point out is the use of colours. This is in relation to The Green glitching to pink. Every alter and even the antagonist of the story has their own colours. Mito: red, black and white. Insanity: purple, yellow/gold, green Hybrid (not an alter): red, green, blue The Green: green? But he did turn to pink and he can change to other colours. Ian: unknown although some Dreamers have theorized it to be cyan, magenta and yellow. Note: I believe we can use pink to represent a toned down version of red. The Green has been theorized to be the one leading Ian down a dangerous path, however a theory I also lean towards is that he/it represents Ian's state of being like an influence or a switch. Green means Insanity, blue represents hybrid influence and pink falls under Mito. Remember that within the video I believe that Mito tries to front. I also believe that he also tries during the chase since The Green turned pink for a split second and also the presence of the pink people influenced that as well. When Ian and The Green jump from the train, they basically went through a portal and ended up at another location within The Other Side. Another way a portal can be represented is through the grave than Insanity-coded Ian has woken up from.

DPR Artic + DPR Ian: Do or Die IU - Shopper mv (Ian is in this video) - There's no set time to react to this but like maybe around or after the Dear Insanity mvs reactions. DPR IAN x IU "Shopper" Official MV l DPR Documentary (to see Christian at work as a Director) I also recommend checking out his albums as well. For a few songs the versions are shortened for the mv but you'll hear them in full while listening on sp*tify. This is going to be a journey. Have fun. :)
DPR Ian is very candid about his mental health challenges and has channeled them into music and producing videos. He has made several MV not only for himself and DPR live, but for other artists because of the way he interprets the songs. The man is brilliant.
Oh yay! I love that y’all are checking out DPR! Ian’s music is so goooddd! DPR LIVE is also good to check out if you’re interested, though he’s currently promoting under his own name, Dabin. I would LOVEEE to see you guys react to Live :))
So glad you guys are reacting to DPR IAN. He is not only a singer-songwriter, but also the director and editor of all his MVs. Actually before he started making his own music, he used to make MVs for other artists (most recently IU - Shopper). Just a little background on his story: Pretty much everything he has put out until now is connected with each other in some way. He has created a story, based on his bipolar and D.I.D. with two characters that refer to his alter egos, when he goes through an episode. MITO (represented by a fallen angel with one eye dressed mostly in black) for his depressive episodes and Mr. Insanity (represented by a crazy/scary looking clown figure with glitter and butterflies) for his manic highs. I don't want to go too deep into the lore yet, because it is a lot and it can be overwhelming. If you decide to jump into the rabbit-hole with us all, I will deliver more info then. And yes, the MIITO movie is a masterpiece, as some have already suggested! But if you wish to start with the storyline in order, this is it: 1. So Beautiful 2. No blueberries 3. Scardy Cat 4. Welcome to the show 5. Nerves 6. MIITO movie 7. Peanutbutter & Tears 8. So I danced 9. Don't go insane 10. Limbo 10.5. Skins (not really part of the lore, but part of Ian's story) 11. Saint Keep in mind, the teasers also give important info about the timeline. Have fun!
i saw him and the rest of the DPR crew live last year (minus DPR LIVE unfortunately) and Ian was sooo good, and super underrated for all the stuff he does :’)
Ian has had an interesting journey professionally. Leader and rapper of C-Clown, then starting Dream Perfect Regime as a video editor (he still does this) and then professionally a solo artist as DPR IAN
now he is def an artist that u def want to go in order to better understand not the whole storyline (i don't dive to deep myself) but just the little small stuff. meaning with the different colors, how they relate to the different persons,ect. he is an amazing artist but he surely hits better if u can understand even 10%
I love your reactions. This is going to long so I'm putting this under the cut. A bit later I will send a list of his works so whenever you all want to react to him you can use that as a guide.

Ian has a love of dancing and used to upload b-boy tutorial videos under the name Barom Yu. Barom is his Korean name while Christian is his birth name. Later through being scouted on the street and then auditions he became the leader of C-Clown with Rome as his stage name. Even while in C-Clown he was interested in what goes on behind the camera so he filmed a lot of their vlogs and even edited those videos as well under the name DPR - D Pink Reel. C-Clown was only active from 2012-2015. Ian has talked about how difficult the company made it for him to leave even after the group disbanded because of his contract however he was finally able to pursue directing. DPR was his dream that he co-founded and the abbreviation changed to Dream Perfect Regime.
