1/19/2024 0 Comments Christian yu movies![]() ![]() Honestly, I didn’t want to rely on anyone other than myself. I’m just too stubborn, I think I have too much of an ego. Was there another reason you didn’t pursue this avenue at this time? You had a fan base keen for you to be a soloist and independent South Korean hip-hop labels, like AOMG or Feel Ghood Music, that you could have approached. To create a new system and a new lane for creatives and artists. I figured I wanted to do something where people would look at it and be drawn to it regardless. There was also hardly any entrepreneurship in Korea it’s looked down upon because it’s so different. I don’t know if it was because of my pent-up anger of being in K-pop, and at that time there was a lot of shady stuff, but I never understood why there was nothing organic about the system where you could grow. Was that part of your thinking at the time? You use the word “movement” to describe DPR’s origins. It’s sonically and visually cinematic, and Rolling Stone sat down with DPR Ian to get to know him better and unpack one of the year’s most ambitious records. As an origin story and prequel that builds a universe, MITO is an angel, dragging himself out from the darkness into which he’s fallen, and soundtracked by a dozen tracks that run from trap synths (“1 Shot”) to chest-rattling electronica (“Ribbon”) to symphonic emo (“Ballroom Extravaganza”). If DPR Ian’s 2021 debut EP, Moodswings In This Order, was an exploration of his fears, highs, and lows, with MITO as his complicated, lurching omnipresent other, then his debut album, Moodswings In To Order (out tomorrow), is a deeper plunge into MITO’s whirling, clamorous existence. I was furious about that, but more excited just to be doing something different.” I was the only one who spoke out on Twitter trying to give an explanation to the fans, but a lot of people thought I was the cause of the breakup. “When we split up, I was still under contract and the label wouldn’t let me go,” he says. Ian had spent enough time in the industry to navigate such an undertaking, although K-pop’s grip on him wasn’t quite done. He made this a reality, creating a label called Dream Perfect Regime for himself and young, underground rappers Live, Cream, and REM, all of whom affix the label’s acronym - DPR - to their names. I just didn’t know what that would look like.” But he knew one thing for sure: “I wanted to craft my own thing.” “It was something I wanted to use as a creative outlet to get by, but the idea of wanting to create a movement was always there. “Right about the time C-Clown split up, I was already invested in videography,” says Ian, who (under the name Rome) had been the leader and rapper of the moderately successful band since the summer of 2012. Pretty sure the rest of the world can’t get over it either.When DPR Ian said farewell to his career in the K-pop-idol group C-Clown in late 2015, his future was vague. Honestly, what can this man not do? We can’t over his good looks, creative talents and incredible, tatted physique that he displays quite regularly on Instagram. Oh, yeah, we forgot to mention that he’s a great dancer too. Just have a listen below:Īre you still breathing? Because we aren’t.Ĭhristian moved to Seoul initially to pursue his dancing career as a Bboy. Though his label is based in Seoul, he is actually born and raised, Australian and speaks English perfectly, with a sexy Aussie accent. ![]() Christian is the mastermind behind it all and we’re glad that he’s flexing (in more ways than one) his creative muscles, beyond just K-pop. Previously from K-pop group, C-Clown that has since disbanded, Christian broke free from the grasps of K-pop and is now the director and chief editor of DPR ( Dream Perfect Regime), an independent label that helps create some of South Korea’s best music videos for artists like iKon’s Bobby.ĭPR also has musical artists under them and help produce their music as well. Hence, say hello to bad-boy heartthrob, Christian Yu ( This 27-year-old musician from South Korea has been the talk of the town lately, mostly due to his incredible good looks, but also due to how much he has changed since his idol days. ![]() As the name would suggest, we’ll be highlighting the delicious thirst traps that are laid all over social media, because who doesn’t want a little eye-candy to get them through the week?
