DPR IAN

Born in Australia, Christian Yu always had an affinity towards music, forming a heavy metal band at a young age and posting videos of himself b-boying on youtube.

When he turned 18, he moved to South Korea and became leader of K-pop group C-Clown under the name of Rome, referencing his Korean name,Ba-Rom. In 2015, after the disbandment of C-Clown, he was on the journey to find his artistry, which led to him eventually becoming the artist we know today, DPR IAN. At a fairly young age, he went through mood swings which he assumed were a part of puberty, except they were more manic, as he describes them.

He was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder and has opened up about how this has affected him throughout his life, expressing how he felt he had to fix it and how he had come to label his lows as someone else, which is from where MITO came to existence.

His experience has served as major inspiration for his music and videos, which through an intricate stroyline and beautiful visuals give a deep insight into who Ian and MITO are.

“What better way to do it than to actually bring him to life, you know, this other side of me that is tragically darker? But at the same time, he sees the beauty in the dark, you know. So that’s what Mito is. The beauty and everything that’s dark in this world.”

My whole life, I battled with this other individual Until I finally decided to make him come to life and his name is MITO

This other side of me that is tragically darker It was essentially driven from the abbreviation of Moodswings in This Order

MOODSWINGS IN THIS ORDER Moodswings In This Order is the debut extended play of DPR IAN. It is heavily based around Ian’s bipolar disorder. He expresses his disorder as the yin to his yang, representing his duality, as Ian is quiet and reserved but Mito as his opposite is loud and maniac.

Ian is the visionary behind DPR’S music videos, which are recognized for their gorgeous visuals and colors. That’s why the release of this debut brought up a lot of fear and doubt, as revealed by himself. He had been the director of so many projects,maintaining himself behind the scenes,but now there he was, glammed up and acting in front of the camera.

“I did what I had to do, pretended no one was in the room and shhh let’s go” The tracklist for MITO consists of 8 tracks:MITO, So Beautiful, Dope Lovers, No Blueberries, Nerves, Scaredy Cat, Welcome to The Show and No Silhouette.

Some of the tracks had MV releases in which Ian develops a story for the lyrics and meaning behind each song, showing his struggles in an artistic manner and of course, making use of MITO in his distinct monochromatic palette.

Ian has proven hrough this album what he is capable of as an artist and storyteller with his beautiful combinations of audio,lyrics and visuals to showcase a reality that many may relate to.“In this day and age,I’m sure everyone’s going through something, you know?

And if it helps them to better cope with that, then that’s why I’ve given the character life” 10 10

I thought it had to be about someone that represents my utmost manic highs, but all in all I’ve always thought Mr. Insanity to be more of a scary character. You’re not sure what he’s capable of.

Dear Insanity

Just leave me alone I tried to hide it I’m scared of what’s next

I still don’t know where to go But welcome to the show You’re welcome to the show

Why does no one understand When I say I am just afraid?

Why does no one lend a hand When I say I will drift away?
