In the latest buzz surrounding IU's "Shopper" music video, fans have found themselves captivated not just by the songstress' enchanting vocals but also by the striking visuals of the male lead.
This multi-talented individual, known for his prowess as a singer, music video director, and visual director, has been revealed as the mastermind behind the artistic direction of IU's latest MV.
Director and Heartthrob: DPR Ian
The mystery man stealing hearts in "Shopper" goes by the name DPR Ian, a figure well-versed in the realms of music and visual storytelling. Fans couldn't help but gush over his undeniably handsome features that seemed to leap off the screen.
Netizens wasted no time in diving into discussions about Ian's impressive resume and his impact on IU's music video. Some were quick to point out his previous work, particularly his role as a member of DPR (Dream Perfect Regime), a collective known for pushing creative boundaries in the music industry.
A Shift in Standards?
However, amidst the flurry of admiration, there were voices of dissent. One netizen remarked, "Did the standard for calling someone 'freaking handsome' change? I can't see anything else but his nose;;", highlighting the diverse opinions on what constitutes attractiveness.
Another user chimed in, "Isn't he Ian? You don't know who DPR is?", showcasing the divide between those familiar with Ian's work and those encountering his charms for the first time.
Tattoos and Controversy
Yet, not everyone was swayed by Ian's good looks. A user confessed, "Looking at the other posts, his arm is full of tattoos and I personally hate tattoos so he's so-so." This glimpse into differing tastes underscores the complexity of fan reactions.
Undeterred by the mixed responses, fans eagerly awaited more glimpses of DPR Ian, with one enthusiast even drawing comparisons to Taiwanese heartthrob Darren Wang.
In recent news, IU returned on February 20th with her 6th mini album "The Winning" and the music video for the title track "Shopper," directed by DPR IAN.
The video, praised for its cinematic quality, sparked excitement among fans, although some noted similarities to IU's previous work and had mixed feelings about the song's catchiness. Nonetheless, anticipation for IU's live performances remains high.
