[DIMO REX on NEO LIVE, presented by GENERATION STUDIO | NEXT CHAPTER]
🦖: One thing I've felt a lot since starting this project is that when you have a goal and keep talking about it, it feels like your whole body and nerves are set for that goal, and it actually happens.
I find it fascinating, and I believe that through it, I can truly reach my goal. So these days, I keep telling myself, 'I'm going to Coachella.' And I really think I'm going to go. So I have to go, and I'm going to do everything to make it happen.
From working on my album to even eating, I consider it all part of the process to get to Coachella, and I'm preparing diligently.

[DIMO REX on NEO LIVE, presented by GENERATION STUDIO | DIMO REX vs BANG YEDAM]
🦖: Since I'm living as Dimo Rex right now, honestly, I feel like that's the identity that fits me best. But that doesn't mean Bang Yedam is a different outfit. Because of this process, Bang Yedam might have become Dimo Rex-like. So it's not about adopting a color, but rather becoming an artist with one's own true color, which I'm also looking forward to. If I had to choose just one, I think living with Dimo Rex's attitude is the most comfortable for me.

[DIMO REX on NEO LIVE, presented by GENERATION STUDIO | DIMO REX GOALS FOR 2026]
🦖: When I first started, I looked far ahead at goals and plans, but I feel like people are quite cunning because once it comes within reach, I really want to grab it.
If I set those opportunities as this year's goals. Of course, I also have to release good masterpieces that match them. Yeah, I do want to experience winning an award. I don't want to think about it at all. I feel like it would be nice if it were a reward for the effort I've put in, but I won't make music just focusing on that.
Yes, I think if I make good music healthily, people will recognize and evaluate it positively. But that's not the biggest thing. Actually, being healthy seems to be the most important thing. Because constantly creating and being active consumes more energy than expected, I think
I need to be healthy and have my stamina well-stocked
for that energy to circulate well.
I hope I can grow healthily. Going back to the beard. Yes, there are certain moments I've envisioned. There's a moment that solves the meaning and curiosity of the beard. I don't know if it's going to happen. I think it's going to have a big impact. That's why I grew my beard.
Speaking of Dimo Rex and Bang Yedam. For me, I think it's also something that the public and listeners choose. I find living with the attitude of Dimo Rex very comfortable and nice. Looking at those phenomena, it seems like a path I have to choose. Yes, I think I'll leave it to your judgment later.

[DIMO REX on NEO LIVE, presented by GENERATION STUDIO | DIMO REX SATISFACTION]
🦖: Based on my satisfaction, it definitely exceeds 90 points. The reactions of the public, the evaluations of listeners, or what? When I think about the satisfaction I see in numbers, I never expected or thought that something like this would happen in such a short time.
But thanks to your help or maybe just luck, many people have recognized me and given positive reviews, so it seems like it could come together quickly, definitely exceeding 90 points.
But musically speaking, I have so many things I want to do, so until I release an album, my self-assigned rating is 4.8 out of 5, but after a week, it drops to 4.5, and another week later, it drops to 4. So, making a better new album is always good, and it seems to be a driving force for me to release something.

[DIMO REX on NEO LIVE, presented by GENERATION STUDIO | DIMO REX BEARD]
🦖: There's a lot of debate going on about this beard itself, and I think it's a very positive phenomenon. In a way, I hoped for it and aimed for it, and that's why I adopted this outfit. Some people say the beard doesn't suit me, while others say it's cool and a stylish attempt. I think it's good.
I've lived without a beard for over 21 years, and now I'm trying to live with one. It's a bit awkward for me, but I think it's good. Anyway, the beard gives people something to talk about. And some people view it positively.
Yes, I have to look cool. I used to be active without a beard as Dimo Rex. There might be some differences in the outfit, and my attitude and the space I'm in might be influenced a lot. So I don't want people to think it's just the beard that makes me Bang Yedam or Dimo Rex. I'd appreciate it if you just felt it as you perceived it.

[DIMO REX on NEO LIVE, presented by GENERATION STUDIO | MUSICAL DIFFERENCES WITH BANG YEDAM]
🦖: When I think about the songs I released as Bang Yedam, I wrote a lot of abstract and ambiguous lyrics. For example, if it's a love song, I only talked about the pain of separation, but when writing songs as Dimo Rex, I tried
to focus more on the situation.
I tried to write lyrics that could evoke stories, thinking of it as a real situation of separation. Whether I go to festivals or concerts of other artists, there are so many points where I feel moved. I feel this kind of emotion from these people and that kind of impression from them, so I want to show the same to my listeners. Although I'm currently making a lot of hip-hop and R&B songs, I'm focusing on researching points that can deliver the emotion of band sounds and those that are felt more intensely when heard live.

[DIMO REX on NEO LIVE, presented by GENERATION STUDIO | WORK STYLE]
🦖: I usually work alone in my room, like I'm in seclusion training. Due to my nature, I can't finish one thing and keep switching to other things, so it takes time for a single song to come out, but when looking at it as an album, it comes out quickly.
So, it's like I'm pouring everything out while recording. Sometimes I even end up crying while recording. I swear a lot too, but because of that, it feels like my true self is captured, and I think I've grown a lot.
In terms of expression, when recording with that attitude, it also comes out during live performances.

[DIMO REX on NEO LIVE, presented by GENERATION STUDIO | DIMO REX SONG I WISH WOULD GET MORE ATTENTION]
🦖: I actually hope you listen to all of them. Among the first singles I released, there are songs called 'PORTAL' and 'LIKE THAT.' These songs are really exciting to me, and I think they truly capture the identity, so I hope you listen to all of them.
From 'Like That' to 'Slide,' 'Slow,' and every track from the albums that followed. There are many diverse and great songs.
As you listen, I think the character of Dimo Rex will start to form in the minds of the listeners. In the beginning, there are a lot of raw sounds that aren't quite polished but express what I wanted to convey. If you follow along with that timeline, you'll be able to understand what I was trying to do. So, starting from the previous work 'Intoxicated,' I began releasing albums, and from that point, the stories I wanted to tell started to emerge. If you listen to the previous work, there are a lot of toxic R&B sounds, and in 'Antidote,' there are tracks that feel liberating. So, noticing those differences while listening might be helpful. It's like a guide to me.

[DIMO REX on NEO LIVE, presented by GENERATION STUDIO | SONG THAT CAPTURES DIMO REX WELL]
🦖: There's a single called Desire that I released when I first started Dimo Rex. My early songs have a bit of that early internet vibe. They're a bit rough, but they seem
to reflect the images I wanted to show.

[DIMO REX on NEO LIVE, presented by GENERATION STUDIO | ARTISTS & MUSIC THAT INFLUENCED DIMO REX'S MUSIC]
🦖: I believe the era of Ratchet will definitely return, so I listen to Chris Brown's 'Royal' a lot. I also listen to T-Pain's 'Bartender,' Trey Songz's 'I Need a Girl,' and August Alsina's 'Kiss No My Tattoos.' They’re such classic songs for me that I think each one holds about five percent of my musical DNA, in the identity of Dimo Rex.

[DIMO REX on NEO LIVE, presented by GENERATION STUDIO | DIMO REX'S MUSIC]
🦖: It's like a familiar yet new form of pop R&B? And there are songs with more of Dimo Rex's ego included in the album. I hope it's cool. But asking people to see me as cool doesn't make me cool, so I need to be cool myself.
Also, I hope to be an artist who satisfies curiosity about whether there's someone in Korea with this character or music, and meets the needs of those who have been looking for it. I seem to pursue a style that isn't about neat, tidy coolness, but rather a natural coolness that comes from just being myself.
I felt incomplete when I was pretending, and I didn't feel cool myself, so I just went with what came naturally without pretending.

[DIMO REX on NEO LIVE, presented by GENERATION STUDIO | DIFFERENT BETWEEN BANG YEDAM & DIMO REX]
🦖: The image of a typical hip-hop RNB artist might be closer to Dimo Rex, while a pop artist or one releasing more commercial-sounding songs would be Bang Yedam.
Yes, both will be free, both will be my image, but I think they can be distinguished by genre. Also, my attitude or outfit at the time? You can also get a sense of it from the overall vibe. Actually, I haven't perfectly defined it yet, so just going with the feeling.
For example, if Bang Yedam suddenly did hyperpop on this album, everyone would be like, 'What?', but if Dimo Rex did hyperpop, then it seems like an image that makes sense. So for me, it's like the two have a kind of symbiotic relationship.

[DIMO REX on NEO LIVE, presented by GENERATION STUDIO | MEANING OF DIMO REX]
🦖: DIMO means 'digital mode'. REX means 'king' in Latin. I think everyone is in the digital world these days, so I made this name with the pure intention of wanting to be the king of the world.
#디모렉스 #DIMOREX @_DIMOREX
[DIMO REX on NEO LIVE, presented by GENERATION STUDIO | BIRTH PROCESS OF DIMO REX]
🦖: It's another name candidate. I was also considering "KYe". But this is KY, and my real name is Bang Yedam. So I took 'Ye' from my name, aiming to be Korea's Kanye, and named it KYE. But the sound was too strong, so that's how I ended up as Dimo Rex.

[DIMO REX on NEO LIVE, presented by GENERATION STUDIO | THOUGHTS WHEN BANG YEDAM & DIMO REX SEE EACH OTHER]
🦖: It feels like they're seeing the image they want to be. It seems like they evoke a certain catharsis in each other. When Bang Yedam sees Dimo Rex, he might think, 'I want to do that too,' and when Dimo Rex sees Bang Yedam, he might think, 'I want to do that too.'
If Bang Yedam is the CUTE side, then Dimo Rex is? Wouldn't it be a SEXY kind of feeling? Yes. That's what I think. Yeah, I have a lot of respect for Bang Yedam.
