Christian Yu (Korean name: Yu Ba Rom), formerly known as Rome and currently known as DPR IAN, is a South Korean-Australian visual director, video director, composer, singer, dancer and former member of C-CLOWN (씨클라운). He used to live in Sydney but moved to South Korea when he was 18 years old. As he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when he was a teenager, he created an alter ego called Mito and used it to show the low episodes of his mental disorder.


He made his debut in 2012 as C-CLOWN's leader, main rapper and main dancer with their 1st mini-album "Not Alone". The group was managed by Yedang Entertainment (now known as Imagine Asia, 이매진아시아). In 2015, the agency announced C-CLOWN was disbanding, so he decided to leave the agency.

He made his solo debut under his co-founded label Dream Perfect Regime (DPR) in 2020 with the digital single "So Beautiful" and released his 1st studio album "Moodswings In To Order" in mid-2022. As part of the agency's idea, all the independent groups of music editors and directors add the acronym "DPR" to their stage names. He directs all DPR music videos and has collaborated on several songs with rapper CL.
