![]() “I don’t want to break up with that character,” DPR IAN confesses, describing Mito as his “feeling tank” before adding: “Because I honestly chase chaos. The singer recounts a recent conversation with a friend where they came to the conclusion that he was in a relationship of sorts with Mito. What are DPR IAN’s plans for Mito once his debut album is out? “At one point, I know I have to dead this character,” he says reluctantly. “I dance, I act, and I perform because I want to tell my story better” “Had I not done that I probably wouldn’t be able to do what I’m doing now.” But it was humbling, because I made that time worthwhile, learning videography,” DPR IAN reflects. I wanted to do music, I wanted to be my own artist. ![]() “It’s funny because at that time, I resented that so much. I had a seven-year contract, of which, during my promotions, I only filled up about four.” “They wouldn’t let me go on media or anything for the remaining years of my contract. Unable to appear in front of the camera until his contract with his previous agency had expired, he used the time to nurture his love for videography. It has been quite a journey.”Īfter his former group C-CLOWN disbanded in 2015, he teamed up with DPR LIVE to start their independent Dream Perfect Regime collective. “I still have to do a bit of ballet, but you know. Since his high school days, he has been in a hardcore metal band, been a b-boy dancer, K-pop idol and now, a soloist. I want to be good at it, so it further enhances the story I tell.”ĭPR IAN’s all-encompassing approach to storytelling is a culmination of myriad experiences accumulated throughout his life. Not because I want to be an actor, not because I want to be a good dancer. “I dance, I act, and I perform because I want to tell my story better. And therefore, we came up with the idea that it should be treated as such: We needed to have this into a short film, you know, almost like a musical.” DPR IAN stepped into the role of storyteller, he says, and became a multi-hyphenate along the way. It’s not just like, one song is the outstanding one, the title track. “From the making of the music, producing it, and then obviously, directing it and being on camera, painting the whole character out – it’s definitely very exciting. Be very afraid,” DPR IAN says, a playful grin spreading across his face as he warns NME of what’s in store. In his captivating new film, the musician fights, sings, and dances through Mito’s journey, detailing every moment after his biblical fall from grace, pushing an already intense sonic experience to its limits. “But it was out of pure love, and betrayal from that love.” You see the origins of how Mito actually used to be an archangel, and then he turns into, I guess, the demon that he is,” DPR IAN explains.
