In 2015, the label DPR Records, which stands for Dream Perfect Regime, was launched by solo artist Ian in collaboration with Live, Cream, Artic, and Cline.
Although the core artists are all pursuing their respective musical directions, they established a relationship with one another by adding the acronym DPR to their stage names.
Currently, the company consists of more than nine members. Among them, four stand as their music artists.
In 2022, Live, Ian, and Cream embarked on their "The Regime World Tour."
Then, last year, the team also went on "The Dream Reborn World Tour" with DPR Artic.

Promoting under his real name, Hong Dabin, his decision stemmed from his desire to connect with his fans through his "real" self and authentic lyrics, a sentiment he discussed at length in a 2024 interview.

He is also the chief musical producer for the label, with over 500 credits in KOMCA's database as of 2024. This extraordinary skill earned him the esteemed nickname "DPR Mozart," which solidified his reputation in the music industry.
In September last year, he released the "Do or Die" Cream remix with Ian and Artic.
