Director Reacts - DPR IAN - 'So Beautiful' MV (DEEP DIVE) 

I’m sure Christian will watch this and appreciate your understanding.

In an interview, Taemin (SHINee), when asked who he would like to collaborate with the most, Taemin said DPR Ian. Hope they get that chance.

Seonghwa from Ateez said he loves DPR IAN ❤ life is good again 😂

In the scenes where he is in the middle of the road and forest as Ian, looking confused means when he comes back from a switch, he has no idea what happened or where he is like a person turns back after a werewolf transformation. Thank you for the video!

Thank you so much to actually going into his work! He always spends hours talking about his experiences through the albums and all, so I really appreciate it!!! Love your channel

The first song he released outside of C-Clown is "zombie pop", but it was created for Adobe commercial? collaboration?, so it's outside of his artistic universe. The song is also not on any DPR IAN album, but on a compilation album of all DPR artists called "DPR Archives". here's the collab video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gvLZhbq8SlY.html

Not only water but also when there is lightning/storm or like a very deep kind of warped voice, then you know Mido is there

Ever sense this live I have been listening to Ian literally 24/7. It's been about 4 days now. His music and videos hit me so deeply, I have never related to something so much in my life, it's almost as if Ian made this stuff based off my brain rather than his own. In a way that is incredibly comforting to me. Seeing Ian's MVs during this live actually gave me the inspiration and push to write my feelings out in detail and give it to my therapist. So due to Ian's music (and Roscoe, for introducing me to it 💜) I am now actually on the road to getting the proper help I need for these issues. Update: 12 days later and I've been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder 💜 I'm getting the help I need for it. Ty Ian and ty Roscoe 💜

I'm so happy you reacted to his debut!!!!!! Thank you for keeping up with DPR IAN!!!! 😔

Oh by the way I truly believe " Diamond tea pearls " plays a huge part into the dpr lore since we have ian and live together again and this time in outer space. We have the effects which kinda look like traveling through different dimensions, the mirror splitting into pieces, futuristic vibes and Ian with the glitter on his face which we see also in peanut butter tears. We see in the beginning also a police car chasing them ( remimds me of scaredy cat and peanut butter tears) . Ian is also wearing a ring which I believe is the same one as in dpr artics mv "do or die". Remember how both ian (had the lights coming from him ( miito movie part 1 seraph) and dpr live in neon x kiss me coming out of his helmet ( almost as bith go through similar things. Kind of a parallel universe feeling) . Ian explained the lights we see on Mr Insanity's back is showing the universe he holds in him. Also when you watch Dpr creams mv color drive you will find those neon lights appear again. So for me it's a sign that all the boys are connected. It's almost like marvel and the multiverse. But that's just my interpretation 😅😊

Love all the depth you went into about his background with DID and bipolar. Christian himself keeps revealing more and more about his disorders the further along we get into the discography. He's doing many more interviews about it too. I'd like to add also that the whistle tones you can hear here (and in the Miito movie part 1 just before Ribbon starts) are what he hears when his switches are close. And the black and white clips of when he is Mito was also the first time he saw a recording of Mito and he found it super hard to edit that. Mito also is religious, which is represented in the cross symbol you can see in the DPR + visuals (that's a cross, not a plus) and in multiple videos, such as Nerves. Christia's mom also gifted him a cross necklace when he visited her in Sydney during the Regime tour. The doors we also now know (since Peanut Butter and Tears) to be where bad feelings and traumatic memories are locked away. In his latest live he said that when he started searching for and entering the doors during his lucid dreams, he kinda met an "ancient being" that triggered Limbo and caused him to slowly start losing sanity whenever he ventured to the doors in The Otherworld, ultimately turning and powering Mr Insanity. Which is why Mito wants to stop Insanity. We see the doors and corridors already here in this video. And it makes sense for Ian to wake up jarringly in sucha corridor with lack of memories of when he was Mito. And If you watch CL's 4 STAR (which he directed and starred in as well - CL also briefly appeared here as the woman pushing him into the water), you can see similar scenes with the same colour correction like here. All his videos are connected. It's fascinating.

I have a perfect example of this: He has uploaded the Mito version of 'Don't go insane' . So if you compare those two, you really hear and feel the difference between the alters.

He recently made a MITO version of the song " don't go insane "

Ian has directed and produced videos for others artists like Bobby from Ikon in the early day's too. I forget which video he directed for Bobby but it turned out really good. Edit: this videos jumps right into "No Blueberries" afterwards because you can actually here the music playing the background for No Blueberries.

When i say i feel BLESSED to discover Ian i mean it He is just on his own league of artistry. tbh i dont feel like im just a fan of him i actually have a special place for this man in my heart i hope he knows how impressive he is

I adore your input, interpretation and thirst to explore one of my top favorite artists, DPR Ian. I truly truly TRULY hope you will post reactions to his interviews with Zach Sang, JREKML (2 part interview), and recently last December he reached out to a reactor/fan and allowed her to interview him for hours as well. Her channel is called Say What Reacts and the title of the video is called "Understanding Christian Yu: The world of DPR Ian". These interviews are a MUST WATCH! They are so informative and he dives deep into his motivation and psyche, especially in the fan interview. I would absolutely love to watch a full reaction of each of these interviews and see your input on them. I'd wholeheartedly watch full legth hour+ long reactions but even if you decided to break them into a few parts I'd love to see your intrigue, discovery and takeaways on the most fascinating, talented, brilliant musician/director/producer/person to come into my musical orbit. Please consider it 🙏 😢.

thank you so much for taking the time to read, understand, and appreciate Christian. im sure he’ll see this and be beyond grateful, he LOVES watching reactions to his art. hehe. he’s really such an amazing, inspiring person and artist. he deserves nothing but the best. to all the new viewers, WELCOME hope you can become a Dreamer 🫂🩶🌕🌗🌑

Hi roscoe, not sure if I’ve missed it but have you ever watched the zach sang interview with Ian ? If not I suggest a watch because Ian goes into depth about his disorders and how they first came about , and also how it impacts the way he creates music 💜💜

I saw DPR IAN and DPR LIVE in concert in Seattle in October 2022, and I believe I remember Christian mentioning blacking out/MITO being present and taking over during the show in a live or maybe even during the show.. This was before he ever mentioned having DID, so I just operated on the assumption that it was like, a performance alter ego, since we had so much sybolism already from his music videos and such, but yeah. Looking back, him saying he could feel MITO and that he took over at some point during the show was really interesting. The stage production itself leaned into and explored the lore (prerecorded voice trakcs, etc) but for the environment to be so specific that MITO was also present during the performance was really interesting to hear him talk about.

Thank you so much for this and the whole stream. There are not too many reactors who truly take the time to deep dive like this. And its a shame because ian is truly one of a kind and just an incredible artist and person. I can genuinly say i have never seen an artist like him. I cant wait for u also do the album listens :) also whether on ur own time or to react to I really do recommend watching his interviews because while u have gotten a lot of the info from viewers, I think listening to him directly means a lot more

I love hearing you break down Ian, or honestly when anyone talks about this artist in depth , Ian is severely underrated and deserves more recognition for his talent !

MITO MOVIE Part1 ( 4 songs in 1 storyline, 7 min MV) would give you better understanding for sure. Christian is a genius. Thanks again

I definitely appreciate your dive into So beautiful. There is so many layers to this and quite surprised to learn of things I missed. Specifically the gun portion. Wow. Thanks for saying this is art. That is definitely true. Every single piece he puts out is art.

"before you change again, i am here to remind you of the times you still remember.” - CL, 5 star

Yes DPR IAN❤❤

please please please analyse more of his video's

Ian is a masterpiece. Film the reaction to Bang Yongguk "hikikomori" . This is a very interesting clip and song.

I was really sad when i missed the 5 hour long livestream but I am following you know on patreon. I am actually writing right now your interpretations down on a word document and will discuss them later with my discord theory friends. Thank you so much for your insights and giving ian and dpr the spotlight they deserve. ❤🙏🏼 sending lovely greetings from Germany 🇩🇪😊

I can't wait for you to see more from ian. Like the movie and other MVs.

This was a great deep dive....learned lots.

Yes you are absolutely right with your theory about the layers giving ian a sense of distance and security !! My lovely discord Theory Dreamers friends and I were blown away how many Details you caught! like for example the unloaded gun or " film layers " ! Correct me if I am wrong but So beautiful was the first time he blacked out infront of a camera ( team) and got to see Mito on the screen. While editing Ian needed also to cut out a lot of scenes. -> i recommend here to watch his album breakdown of moodswings in this order 😊🤍

Thank you for the Breakdown I'm sure he will watch this ❤ I think you should watch the video he made for explaining the " MOODSWINGS IN THIS ORDER" album And also what do you think about watching his interviews?...

I recommend you to watch 5 stars by CL. Would love to hear your interpretation especially since Ian directed it and is in this video too. you will also find some "easter eggs"".

In fact, Mr. Insanity is not one of his real-life personalities, but a character he created to represent his manic state, which is different from Mito's nature. (In fact Mito even expressed that he doesn't like the character of Mr.insanity) Just wanted to correct this.

Thank you for breaking this all down. 💜

It's a really nice deep dive video of Ian, really enjoyed it! You caught alot of details It would be nice if you & Ian can hold a talking session, as fellow directors.. I've seen him conducted interviews with other reactors.. so who knows, it may be possible..

Dear Roscoe, thank you So So much. It makes me teary.. we really needed this!!

Quick notice about Scaredy cat. Forgot if anyone has mentioned it already. There was this scene with mitos reflection remember? Actually IAN told us on Tour as well as in Interviews , that he has a hard time looking in the mirror. ( zachsang show, saywhatreacts interview) So by putting a mirror at his show, it was a way to help him to check who's present. If it's ian he would draw a cross but if it's mito it would be something else. So that would mean that it was Ians "body " But the person who sang was Mito. ( or another persona who will turn to mito ) Hence why we maybe see 3 different lamps, him with an outfit similar to Peanut Butter Tears and the green light appear on his face.( a color we will see in insanity's video a lot )

Love the little details in every mv like for example the book in scaredy which said: On becoming a leader . Dude is such a genius

I am SHOCKED at this news. But it feels SO good to know. As a person who suffers with OSDD, it's so rare to see this disorder being represented in media. I loved DPR Ian before. But now it's so much more meaningful.

I LOVE your dpr ian reactions!

If anyone wants to read my original comment that Roscoe mentioned it is one of the first in this video: "This Kpop Idol Makes His Own Music Videos...And They Are Insane" . I added a ton of info after that he didn't happen to mention here. He probably read an earlier version. Just search the video on youtube because I'm afraid that If I add the link my comment won't be posted. It's by squirrel7103, can't comment with my original account (hopefully temporarily). I probably was promoting Ian in a "few" too many IU Shopper reactions lmao As I've said at the No Blueberries reaction thank you again Roscoe for trying to understand the complex world of DPR Ian. We'll never fully understand but it doesn't hurt to try.

Awwww thank you so so much for this video! I found my confort place in DPR Ian's art. He deserves so much more recognition for all his work. Love your videos and how you deep dive into every detail. Im always curious about what you're interpretation will be. Im really happy i found your channel!❤

Wow! Just wow!!! I love this break down session! 👍🏻❤️🤌🏻

Ian es un gran artista, espero que puedas reaccionar a más vídeos suyos porque amo la forma en la que analizas sus vídeos

I love this song. I like to dance to it. His music helps me get through my depression and anxiety episodes.

Yoo rewatching all the MVs together with you changed so many things for me. I see so many new things and perspectives now together with my old theories. Feel like I am starting the puzzle// labyrinth from a new angle // entrance haha. Now some things makes so much more fxxxing sense haha. Especially scaredy cat. So thanks to you my new interpretation is, that it was indeed ian being captured in the mito suit because 1. Spoiler alert= mito movie part 1 and 2. the jacket could represent that mito took over Ian's body ( writings on the jacket are similar too writings on mitos body in so beautiful) . So that would mean mito is slowly taking over Ian's body. He's taking taking a hold of him. Ian is in the passengers seat , a ble to watch but not able to act / speak. 🤯🥲 love love love your insights. You are awesome. Thank you for the 101 dpr ian deep dive session. Appreciate it a lot ❤🙏🏼

Hello Clark Kent! :) Dude Long time no see!! After I watched this one reaction I have to say it... I need more Roscoe getting into DPR Ian World/Universe/Multiverse, I need it!!!. This was amazing. Love ya! Have a great day! :)💜

Ich denke es ist eine gute Theorie. Vielen Dank, dass du auf dieses Detail hingewiesen hast. Es gibt noch immer so vieles zu entdecken und zu verstehen. Tolle Reaction von dir!!! Danke!!!

I need you to go into Everything Ian related!!!! Im sure he'll appreciate you're reaction

First like 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Good song!!!

I love how he used that sound in the beginning which sounded almost like a tinnitus or cardiac arrest. Tinnitus is when you experience ringing or other noises in one or both of your ears. The noise you hear when you have tinnitus isn't caused by an external sound, and other people usually can't hear it. it's almost like a hint for later mvs and how he explained that he hears different voices and whistle sounds .

What an exhausting life that is! 😢 my heart aches for this man because so much of MITO I could relate to The star that burns the brightest before everything vanishes..

29:19 Yep, he could actually get a trigger on a lot of different things, even small silly ones, not just traumatic or stressfull situations, the thing is blacking out usually for me happens with certain alters or really though situations, I wonder if happens the same for him

You should watch the 14 minute video about the making of the song! He talks more about the thoughts behind and I think it clears a lot up!❤

good guide to become Dreamers 👌

Wow....👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Another random fact about so beautiful is when they were filming the m/v Ian was actually in a decline and on set he asked the director “when are we going to shoot” to which they replied we already did three takes. He also mentioned that editing so beautiful was hard for him.

💜💜

As someone who has DID myself I can tell you that Mito and Insanity is most likely what they want to be referred too. I know with my own alters they prefer to be called their names cause they are their own people

Zoombie pop e s hermosa ❤ fue grabado cuand vino a peru y bolivia, 9ir eso es himbo de perusalwn , me wncanta que cada dia Ian esta siwndo re onocido como artista y persona ❤

Roscoe question!?....in the final scene when you point out that the trigger is off, he picks up the weapon and is his finger on the trigger??

8:06 If of your interest: Schizophrenia is an autoimmune disease (this basically means your own antibodies sabotage your body) which is caused by a chemical embalance and other chances in the brain and is normally inherited but it can be caused by other things :)

🔥👑🛐

A próxima música é no blueberries e vc já reagiu uns meses atras queria muito ver vc reagindo dnv

❤

Please react to Cix Jungle. I really think you might like it! ❤💯

🦌💜😊

Zach Sang and Psick show with Dpr Ian informative and funny.

you should really react to skins (demo). it's a song that mito made that ian had no recollection of him doing. ian and his friend shot the mv for it and decided to post it as a little homage to mito
