Calling all DREAMers! This one's for you!
Only a few days left before Dream Perfect Regime (DPR) arrives in the Philippines for their first-ever concert in the country.
Last August 2022, Karpos Multimedia announced that they are bringing the group's The Regime World Tour 2022 to Manila.
The concert—presented by GOMO and in partnership with KOHAI—is scheduled on November 30, 2022, at the Filinvest Tent in Alabang, Muntinlupa City.
Here's everything you need to know about DPR and their upcoming concert:
INTRO TO DPR
In case you're not familiar yet, DPR is not a K-Pop boy band. In fact, they are far from it. DPR is a South Korean artist collective known for its performances, music, and videography.
On its official website, the Seoul-based group describes itself as "a multi-genre music and video group" that aims to "engage all audiences by actualizing a distinctive audiovisual experience.”
DPR has five core members, all of whom use the acronym in their stage names.
One of the members is South Korean rapper and singer Hong Da-Bin, also known as DPR LIVE.
DPR LIVE joined the group sometime in March 2015. He made his debut in the music scene in 2017 with the song "Know Me."
He has released several other songs since his debut, including "Please" (2017), "Jasmine" (2017), "Action!" (2018), "Playlist" (2018), "Jam & Butterfly" (2020), and his latest single "Summer Tights" (2021).
South Korean-Australian rapper-songwriter DPR IAN, whose real name is Yu Ba-Rom (or Christian Yu), is the director and chief editor of the group.
DPR IAN is a former member of the boy group C-CLOWN and was known for his stage name Rome.
As a singer, DPR IAN made his solo debut on October 26, 2020, with the digital single "So Beautiful." In the same year, he released the song "No Blueberries" in collaboration with former 2NE1 member CL and DPR Live.
The third member is Kim Kyung-Mo, also known as DPR CREAM. He is the main musical producer of the group.
In 2019, he released his debut single titled "Gravity."
In 2020, he worked with his fellow DPR members for their collaborative EP album titled DPR ARCHIVES which features songs they wrote from 2016 to 2020.
Scott Kim aka DPR REM mostly works behind the scenes as the creative director and executive producer of the group. He is also responsible for designing the group's official merchandise.
Lee Sung-Joo, who also goes by the name Jimmy Cline or DPR CLINE, is a singer and rapper, and is also in charge of marketing and production for the group. He is dubbed as "DPR’s #1 Fan and Hype Man."
Fun Fact: DPR CLINE is actually DPR Live's cousin.
Other members of the DPR crew include manager/DJ/producer Kim Yongwoo aka ARTIC; photographer/videographer John Son; stylist/fashion designer/art director Joon Yong An; assistant director Cho Hoin; and assistant for DPR's business side Jun Jungmoo.
