DPR Ian's Rolling Stone Article

This was such with good read. Getting a sneak peek of what goes on in the mind of Ian was nice and helped me better understand his work and vision. I hope him and the rest of the DPR guys do interviews like this. It would be interesting to get a deeper dive into their creative processes.

Did you see him yesterday commenting on the fandom goals? Lmao He feels like another fan.

I need to double check every DPR related poster because I can’t be sure if it’s a fan account or Scott. It’s gonna take me a while to get used to this.

He's like a massive dpr fan account, it's hilarious

It's especially funny when he replies to fans but it's also really sweet how friendly dpr are with their fans.

This part:

You use the word “movement” to describe DPR’s origins. Was that part of your thinking at the time?

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. There was also hardly any entrepreneurship in Korea; it’s looked down upon because it’s so different. People are scared to speak their mind. I figured I wanted to do something where people would look at it and be drawn to it regardless. To create a new system and a new lane for creatives and artists.

It was nice to hear about his experience as a kpop idol because I feel like it's kind of rare too hear him talk about it so openly. I'm glad he feels comfortable with the creative freedom he has now though and to see what he's produced through dpr is amazing. He's an inspiration
