DPR Ian Debuted As Idol
If you have been a K-pop fan in the early 2010s, you might have heard of C-Clown and a few of their songs. They were under Yedang Entertainment.
They had six members, namely Rome (now known as DPR Ian), Siwoo, Ray, Kang Jun, T.K, and Maru. However, after three years, they disbanded.
Their first mini-album "Not Alone" and title track "Solo" did help them gain attention. However, it was their song "Far Away Young Lover" and "Heart Shaker" that made them more visible.
After C-Clown Disbandment Comes DPR Label
Christian Yu, more known now as DPR Ian, started his label with Live, Cream, and REM. DPR means Dream Perfect Regime. The company is multi-genre music and video group. They create, direct, produce and edit all types of media.
Before he started his own company, DPR Ian worked for other artists' songs and music videos. In 2020, he successfully released his first solo song "So Beautiful."
Then, almost two years after, he released his critically acclaimed first studio album "Moodswings into Order" on July 29, 2022.
Other Members of C-Clown
In 2020, all the six members of C-Clown got together and posed for some pictures that they shared with their fans through their Instagram accounts. Other than that, there is no news of them connecting and seeing each other.
On the other hand, one member of C-Clown is also doing his own thing to continue his dream in the entertainment industry.
C-Clown's youngest member, Maru, joined another boy group after the disbandment. He changed his stage name to his real name Jaejun and joined JTBC and YG Entertainment's joint venture "MIX NINE."
He became a member of TREI when the supposed boy group did not debut. However, the group also disbanded. Now, he is in a new boy group in his 3rd debut with TAN.
Another member that is still striving for his dreams is Siwoo. He will re-debut with a new stage name Wooyeon, with a new boy group named WeNU. His group consists of almost previous idol members from different boy groups like BIGFLO, Sigma, VX, and Sigma.
Meanwhile, other members look like living a normal life, away from the entertainment industry. Their rapper, TK, real name Lee Minwoo, just got discharged from the military, according to his Instagram account.
Main vocalist Kangjun is now a graphic designer with golf as a hobby. He occasionally posts his work and his daily life on his own Instagram account.
Ray, their visual and center, is also living a quiet life and mostly posts about his dog and other things he is interested in on his Instagram account.
It seems like the members do still have contact with each other.
