Soloist: DPR IAN Reaction pt.1-So Beautiful, No Blueberries, Nerves, Scaredy Cat,Welcome to the Show

[@eleventhcassette]

DPR IAN not only writes, composes and co-produces his own songs, he also directs and edits his own music videos. He directed IU's Shopper (hence why they feel like movies) He also recently posted a behind the scenes of Shopper (IU also posted a vlog). I left all my other suggestions on the community tab already, so enjoy the journey :) Some things you will start noticing in the MVs: black and white usually means the character MITO is present, who represents IAN's manic lows. MITO's also the one with the clouded eye. IAN cannot look at his own reflection and closes that eye. If you look at the cover art of the album, the crack is right in his eye. "So Beautiful" MV represents the birth of MITO. In "No Blueberries," IAN personifies blueberries as a fear that causes you anxiety. And yes, the song was playing at the end of "So Beautiful". DPR LIVE was the rapper in the song and he has a couple of songs with Hwasa. The song playing at the beginning of "Nerves" is "Dope Lovers," which is the third track in the album. The last line "He loved you" is MITO. "Welcome To The Show" MV was the first album's trailer, I was surprised you jumped right into the second album MV movie haha but let's fxcking goooo!! MIITO (second album) is introducing a new character, Mr. Insanity, who created MITO (the character in IAN). Mr. Insanity, IAN's manic highs, is often represented by saturated and bright colors. The song at the end is "Miss Understood" and of course hints at the next MVs. His mix of genres are alt-rock, punk rock, orchestral, neo soul, and bossa nova. As you can see, violins are his stylistic choice throughout his whole discography. MITO's songs tend to be more angsty or cocky, while Insanity's are a bit more electronic and dreamy. Even the violins sound different in both characters.

I recommend his interview with Zach Sang "Memories In Disorder" | OFFICIAL 'MITO' DOCUMENTARY (about his first album) DPR Ian Reads Thirst Tweets (just for fun) DPR IAN x IU "Shopper" Official MV l DPR Documentary (behind the scenes of making this video because he directed it)

[@travis3810]

not the thirst tweets 😭💀

[@silva524]

The fact he not only writes his own music, plays multiple instruments but also directs AND edits his video is pure madness in the best way. He actually has showed parts of his editing process, one being the scene from miito movie where he catches on fire. he literally hand does everything and i feel like i need to emphasize this because literally who does that??! Only ian i tell u 😂 and i know it takes so much out of him so i really want to appreciate the hard work he puts in. he is such a genius not only musically but visually too

[@midnightxgem6147]

There are no words to express how excited I am for this week. I love him so much. His voice is amazing and you are right, every music video is like watching a mini movie. He is so incredibly talented and he seems so sweet too. He does like watching reactions to his music too 🤭

[@itscamixx]

CL’s 5 Star and some songs from MITO (Moodswings in This Order) album are kinda related storyline wise. That’s why they show up in each other’s MVs. Especially So Beautiful…to the point that the same settings were used in the music videos (ie: forest, apartment, tunnel etc.)

[@stayville7581]

The video is kind of long but I definitely definitely recommend his interview with Zach Sang

[@roguereacts]

you may or may not be seeing it 😉

[@danimonique8824]

-scaredy cat reminds me of when I’m having a manic and depressive episode at the same time.

[@Asiya692]

DPR IAN is my fav artist

[@roguereacts]

he is fantastic!!

[@Enchantedpluto]

Mine too!!

[@arie_l6380]

He doesn't have a lot of variety shows but there is some interviews and documentaries. Like his interview with Zach Sang(at this interview he talked about his bipolar and his struggle, arts etc.), 102.7KIISFM (this one is about his third album and he reveals about his DID), and some interviews with youtubers such as jre( ian talked and explained Mito movie) and the recent one with Say what reacts(it's very detailed so keep it for the last), memories in disorder documentary, shopper documentaries: a business trip to America with bro(from IU channel) and another one from DPR channel, dpr ian thirst tweets,dpr ian tatto tour GQ Taiwan, dpr ian ASMR, and some content with dpr live (before Ian make his solo debut he worked as director and editor for others and dpr artists). Also he always do live streams and explain about his stuffs especially after every comeback.

[@boop4473]

I remember seeing somewhere a couple years ago that the reason it always says "dpr visuals+ian" in reverse is because when dpr started he was only behind the camera so once he started creating his own music and mvs its supposed to reflect him being in front of it now.

[@noram4269]

Ian might not have many interviews but the one with zack sang show is so good he also does lives alot he's the kind to talk abt himself so openly like this man does not shy away from being vulnarable which i RESPECT alot tbh his lives are mostly like a free therapy session he just knows how to comfort ppl with his words and his whole artistry is just about expressing himself & the struggles he has to go through because of his disorders. he mentioned so many times he really can't make music about the things he never experienced or related to. ngl his whole discography is a no skip for me and i know you gonna thank the universe for sending u signs to check out this amazing talented man later😅 Ps: his upcoming album ( the hybrid ) is about to come out soon

[@phiz8092]

I excited for you to watch variety stuff he is the sweetest man with the purest heart❤🥺

[@christina8101]

Subscribed for Taemin (Ult) and DPR Ian (I’m going through dissociation and issues like him, just not as bad) Ian is my inspiration and second Ult

[@koldsundae]

just a little comment, in nerves lyrics, every time Ian says "he," it is referring to Mito/other personalities. basically meaning that this girl was one of, if not the only girl that his other side had approved of and loved. "He loved you."

[@Enchantedpluto]

I haven’t even started the video yet and I’m so excited for you to be enjoying DPR IAN

[@roguereacts]

I just absolutely love this music and he is just a very sweet and humble person! 🥰

[@erfammoo]

Dpr ian 🔥🔥🔥

[@roguereacts]

his stuff is soooo good!

[@saskiaskye_]

I audibly gasped and kind of choked.... i knew this was coming, but i i i i um yeah im excited 😊 🤗 😂❤ noooo why is it over how wil be able to wait for the next one 😢

[@roguereacts]

we finally got here! And I'm glad I moved him up on my list! I really love a lot of his music! 🥰

[@imontheotherside]

OK I'm hop on the train🤩Excited to watch you discover this man's beautiful world.

[@roguereacts]

welcome on in!!! I just love his work so far, pure genius!!

[@anaclaracg3617]

He was my top artist on spotify last year. His stuff is awesome! He is such a talented artist. I think you're really gonna like his art!

[@ugh.ashi_]

HE EDITED AND DIRECTED BY HIMSELF 🦭

[@roguereacts]

I knew he must have had his hand in some of this!! 🥰🥰

[@wiinnnn___]

🥰 😋 🥵 🔥 👑 🛐

[@roguereacts]

💙💙

[@Jenniii86]

Yes, he's 100% involved in everythig. He composes, writes and produces his music, he also does pretty much all of his MV's himself (and his team of cource). I believe when you see the DPR Visuals + Ian backwards it means he directed the MV and also edits himself, He's the whole package, he also does MVs for other artists like IU's Shopper. He was in C-Clown back in the day and went by stagename Rome, he was the leader, main rapper and main dancer of the group. DPR Ian is of my favorite artists!!

[@natastay]

Oh, I completely forgot about this week! I'm excited))

[@roguereacts]

Hope you enjoy the week!! 🥰

[@loredell]

I swear I'm not a sadist, but I loved seeing your face going through it all XD

[@roguereacts]

HAHA it was sooo unexpected but sooo worth it! it was like I was watching a mini movie!!!

[@pommem8965]

Im so happy u had known abt his background so you could pick up pretty much everything right eventho it was your first time watching .Ian is absoloutly the most fascinating genuinely raw talented artist i've ever known . i would like u to know that mito which is kinda portrayed as a dark villian type of guy is actually Ian's protector alter he himself describes it as the one who can take lots of shits ( u can literally see in no blueberries that whenever he is faced with that blueberry monster it switches to mito to confront the monster which can be a symbole of a trauma that mito has to deal with ) mito shots are mostly in b&w showing how the world is so colorless cause he kinda represents his lows & the depressive episodes mito also has one eye which Ian said its also a way to show how he sees the world so differently. he actually use the change of eye colors to show the different identities you'll notice when u watch all his mvs Btw i loved your reaction❤

[@beauregarden]

I feel like I'm gonna be learning with you this week 😂. I've always been interested but only got around to seeing a couple of his MVs and songs. I have a vague memory of the idol group he was in (over 10 years ago 😂) C-Clown. But for the most part I'm going in blind here (for once lmao) I love No Blueberries though. Checked it out for CL but stayed because the song is so good. I love his vocal tone too 😊

[@roguereacts]

hope you enjoyed learning more about him during the week and maybe found some songs you enjoyed! 🥰🥰

[@beauregarden]

@@roguereacts oooooh you have no idea what you started 😂 I went into intense hyperfixation mode for like a week. I couldn't listen to anything but DPR Ian songs over and over, I lost sleep because the songs were stuck in my head, I'd get woken up mid-dream by one of his songs playing in my dream 😂. I watched lots of reactions and interviews and just... constantly thought about the meaning behind his mvs and songs. It was like some kind of fever dream that I've thankfully woken up from now (because now my brain is actually letting me think about other things and listen to other music again yaaaay). But I've come out the other end with a deep respect and appreciation for everything he does and I'm now just an average big fan of his😅 So yeah, your fault 😂🥰

[@redrumrozes]

Hey! Glad to see you checking out DPR Ian his music is absolutely amazing and the way he tells their story is beautiful. I noticed your sweater and wanted to say 👋 Hii! If your from Niagara I am too 😊

[@phiz8092]

OMG IM SO EXCITED ❤❤ I love Christian sm I’m ready for this reaction 😭

[@roguereacts]

It was one hell of a week! 🥰🥰🥰

[@andreeac.d_drawings6782]

He has such a great discography with so many amazing songs, but for some reason, Nerves is always gonna be the one that gets me. I just love him (and the story that he created almost entirely from his experiences) so freaking much. Thank you for reacting to him and can't wait for more 😊❤

[@Enchantedpluto]

You HAVE to listen to the full version of Ribbon. It’s such a BOP. It’s currently my fav song of his. Ask me next week and I’ll have a different fav haha

[@christina8101]

Yas finally! Note: He showcases his major bipolar disorder and DID(multiple personality disorder) Mito and Insanity. Hybrid coming soon. It is a mix when he changes as well as calling it an entity not a personality. So beautiful is Mito

[@user-moon17]

I'm so excited for this week, he's one of my favourite artists, I'm glad you're enjoying this journey ❤️ Ian is such an amazing man, so humble , so kind and so talented 🫶🏼 btw, you mentioned that you love artists who have an storyline in their mvs, well i think you would like tomorrow x together story and music♡

[@arien_000]

Solo artist suggestion : TEN (from NCT/WayV/SuperM) 1. NIGHTWALKER (title track for his album TEN) 2. PERFORMANCE FILM 10 3. His entire album TEN 4. BIRTHDAY (his single last 2022) plus the dance practice video cuz he's the best 3rd gen kpop dancer. 4. DREAM IN A DREAM - his first ever solo mv + dance practice the station version

[@ashleeniicole727]

Hey just discovered your channel and I’m so excited to watch you discover Christian! I definitely recommend watching a few of his interviews just to get an in depth understanding. He goes into so much detail in both his zach sang interview (this is a bit on the longer side) and his interview with KIISFM (this one is only 30 mins) but he talks about blacking out and when Mito takes over.

[@roguereacts]

welcome on in! I hope you enjoyed the week! I loved learning about his music and getting to know about him! 🥰

[@arien_000]

I love No Blueberries and Nerves the most. I honestly prefer his older album.. i enjoyed Mito a lot.

[@choi3006]

Hotdamn ! ( gotdamn is over ! )

[@roguereacts]

🤣🤣

[@Enchantedpluto]

Christian, DPR IAN, had bipolar disorder and DID. The man with the white eye is Mito, one of his other identities. All the music videos have to do with Mito and his other identity, Mr. Insanity and his internal mental struggles between them both wanting to take over. Essentially all of the videos are taking place in his head for the most part
