DPR LIVE

DPR LIVE, born Hong Dabin, is a South Korean rapper, singer and producer, and a founding member of the music collective Dream Perfect Regime (DPR). He first drew attention in 2016 with «EUNG FREESTYLE», a track featured in a YouTube Music advertisement, before officially debuting in 2017 with the EP «Coming To You Live», which included collaborations with established Korean R&B artists such as Crush, DEAN and Jay Park.

His follow-up EP «Her» produced the singles «Jasmine» and «Text Me», cementing his reputation for smooth, melodic rap laced with R&B sensibility and laid-back, hip-hop-infused production. His 2020 debut full-length, «IS ANYBODY OUT THERE?», featured eleven self-written tracks and further showcased his range as both rapper and vocalist, followed by the 2021 mini album «IITE COOL».

As a central figure of DPR alongside members like DPR IAN, LIVE has helped build the collective's reputation for blending hip-hop, R&B and cinematic visual storytelling. In October 2023 he announced a hiatus from DPR to launch a new solo project under his real name, Dabin, continuing his work under a label named after his signature catchphrase, Coming To You Live (CTYL).
