DPR Ian 'burned up' My Dinh, causing Truc Nhan to call out his name, is he IU's 'ex-lover'?

The Mega concert gathering many top Kpop artists such as G-Dragon, CL,... and Vietnamese male singer Quang Hung MasterD has officially taken place at My Dinh Stadium.

Despite having to stand in the pouring rain for hours, the heavier the rain, the more "fired up" the artists on stage and thousands of spectators became, turning the concert into a true "waterbomb" party. Besides the performances that drove fans crazy by "Kpop king" G-Dragon, the series of performances by male artist DPR Ian was also a highlight that made Vietnamese netizens "go crazy" after just 1 night.

Appearing at the concert, DPR Ian is not a very prominent name in the lineup. In the Vietnamese market, DPR Ian is a rather unfamiliar male artist. Most fans come to the mega concert to see CL and G-Dragon, or some newly emerging Kpop groups who are mainstream idols that appear a lot in the media such as tripleS or TEMPEST with Hanbin - a Vietnamese member. Therefore, before going on stage, DPR Ian received a rather "indifferent" reaction from the Vietnamese audience.

But the reality is completely opposite, as soon as DPR Ian appeared on stage with a half-unbuttoned shirt revealing his body, his handsome visual stood out on the LED screen and completely captured the audience's hearts. He truly "burned" My Dinh Stadium with a cinematic and breathtakingly seductive performance. From the first seconds of his appearance, the male artist made the atmosphere explode with his overwhelming charisma, top-notch visuals, and a series of hit R&B songs that were newly remixed with sophistication. Every move of DPR Ian from his bewitching eyes, seductive dance, and characteristic husky voice captivated the audience.

The moment the rain poured down on My Dinh Stadium was like a "cinematic effect" that made his stage even more dreamy and irresistibly charming. Just a smile or a kiss from DPR Ian was enough to make the audience below scream and continuously cheer for the Korean male god. Many people affirmed that although the name DPR Ian may not be known to the majority of the audience, DPR Ian will certainly have a lot more Vietnamese fans after this concert. DPR Ian's performance even made Truc Nhan exclaim "Too terrible".

Not only did DPR Ian stir up My Dinh Stadium with a series of irresistible performances, he also captured the hearts of fans with his "top-notch" Vietnamese interaction. Accordingly, during the conversation with the audience, DPR Ian could not hide his excitement when performing in Vietnam for the first time and enjoying the enthusiastic atmosphere from the audience.

Notably, he also made fans "fall in love" when he said in Vietnamese: "I love Vietnam". Or like in the performance, DRP Ian even spontaneously jumped into the audience area to get closer to Vietnamese fans. The moment he kissed a female fan's hand before returning to the stage made the owner himself admit that his dream had come true. After the memorable performance in Vietnam, DPR Ian also posted on his personal page thanking the audience and eagerly wishing to return again.

DPR Ian's real name is Christian Yu, born in 1990 in Australia to a Korean family and is a talented rapper, producer and director. DPR Ian first debuted in 2012 as the leader of C-Clown - a 6-member boy band under the small company Yedang Entertainment (later renamed Banana Culture and closed).

Despite his talent, outstanding appearance and captivating performance, DPR Ian fell into the common situation of many idols from small companies when their activities were stagnant. After 3 years of struggling, C-Clown officially disbanded in 2015. After that, he decided to start over, with close friends such as Live, REM and Cream to found Dream Perfect Regime (DPR) to shape the visual style and personal identity of each artist.

In a sharing on The Feel (SBS), DPR Ian revealed about his time as a trainee before debut: the training schedule was extremely harsh, with no room for comfort or personal freedom. That was the period when he had to sacrifice a lot to keep up with the fierce competition of the idol industry.

Having established his own company and not having a big backer, DPR Ian's media promotion is also different from the traditional formula of Kpop idols. The music products that DPR Ian releases are all directly "molded" by him and reveal his own personality.

Different from the image of a male idol with a "glossy" image, DPR Ian pursues a manly image, a bit mysterious, arousing curiosity. His music is similar to the image he is building when it goes deep into the listeners' emotions and is sometimes a bit dark. The "vibe" is too different from the Kpop idols familiar to the audience, making it difficult for DPR Ian to reach the majority of audiences in Korea or Vietnam when the majority of people prefer easy-to-listen-to, easy-to-remember music formulas. Some of DPR Ian's music products known to the audience include So Beautiful, Dope Lovers, Don't Go Insane.

However, after the concert at My Dinh Stadium on the evening of June 21, many audiences "fell into" DPR Ian and immediately searched for information and his songs. With just a set lasting less than 30 minutes, DPR Ian made the whole audience explode. Vietnamese fans were shocked because they were surprised to see an artist who was handsome, sang well, and performed well performing in Vietnam. Surely after the concert last night, many people knew who DPR Ian was and searched for the songs that made his name.

In 2024, DPR Ian made Korean netizens excited when he suddenly appeared in IU's MV Shopper - one of the outstanding products in the album The Winning. In the MV with a retro vibe mixed with fantasy cinema, DPR Ian plays IU's boyfriend with sharp visuals, a cold and attractive demeanor and a haunting voice-over opening the MV: "There once was a shop..."

Notably, he not only appeared as the male lead but also showed his talent when he took on the role of director, concept and storyteller for the entire product. Right from the time the teaser aired, DPR Ian made the online community "hunt for info" when he successfully played the role of "IU's boyfriend" with a charming beauty and an irresistible aura.

Besides IU's MV Shopper, DPR Ian has also directed MVs for famous artists such as Wake Me Up (TAEYANG), Body MV (Mino - WINNER) or HOLUP MV (Bobby - iKON). He also has a very close relationship with YG artists such as TAEYANG, Mino or CL. In 2020, the "lovely" photos between DPR Ian and CL made fans extremely excited. Besides, although there is no photo together, DPR Ian has also stood on stage with G-Dragon in many music events such as K-STAR SPARK 2025 (Bangkok), Head in the Clouds Festival (Los Angeles) and most recently K-STAR SPARK 2025 in Vietnam.
