261002 DPR Ian IG Live

Live.

Well, I do have to wait a little bit longer just for people to join.

But I'll be with you guys in a jiffy.

I did go live, Instagram live, just because I think I'm enjoying the votes.

I do like YouTube live, don't get me wrong, it is a little bit more

clean. But for today I'll go Instagram live because that was the majority of the vote.

hello how are you good morning good afternoon or good

night it is still pretty um still pretty early in the night i am in australia

i am indeed in australia i mean um i'm back in sydney i'm back in my hometown um

Good morning, everybody. How are we doing?

How are you? So, where was I?

So, here's the thing. Today

I want to actually talk about the

album and kind of where it's headed and

pretty much what I'm going to be doing and where this album is really headed and so forth.

I am expecting... I love you. I want to be able to do a Korean concert. now.

No. Anyway, how's everybody been, first of all?

You know, I know sometimes Instagram Live doesn't really reach all my fans, and I don't know why it does that, and I have no idea.

But anyway, for the ones that are here, welcome. And here we go.

So, what is the plan?

What are you trying to do? What is this album about? So

far, I did Mitre 1, Mitre 2, Dear Insanity, and Sing.

All of those in which I am somewhat playing an alter, a character,

that's, God forbid, anything like who I am. Right? It's a design.

I guess an idea. An ideation of a lot of things. An accumulation of a lot of things that I went through.

Personal trauma. Whatever you'd like to call it. That's kind of where we are. And in these characters.

We get to experience their world. We have never once set foot inside their inner world.

Bear with me now. It's more about the world that they walk on. So, the other side.

Mito's world, saint, whatever. All of them accumulate to a world where it's fantasy, but it's not really based inside them.

We never get to go inside who they are. Not have we once asked how Mito feels about being Mito.

I mean, I have, but I mean, you know. not in the general sense of to the public so

so then who who hosts

all of these characters what's me right obviously it's me Ian or

whoever you like to call but obviously it's me that encompasses all of these characters all of these individuals so

think about it like this. So then how does Ian feel about being Ian?

More importantly, Maito knows who he is. If you ask Maito, you know who you are. He knows.

Insanity knows who he is. Most of my characters know who they are.

It's very vivid and it's very, all of their representations and all of their iconic looks are an

accumulation of who they are. As soon as we see the eye, we know who Mido is and so forth and what he represents.

But does Ian know who he is? Do I know who I am? Do I?

Do any of us really know who we are? I don't think so. But here we go. This is where it begins.
