Singer/song-writer Bang Ye Dam has begun a new chapter of his career as the alternate persona Dimo Rex, releasing his 1st digital single "Like That". 

According to Bang Ye Dam's label GF Entertainment, the musician created the new persona to "express a more liberated and creative music spectrum"

However, many Korean netizens were rather shocked by the explicit concept of Dimo Rex's single and MV.

Some commented,

"It definitely looks like he's implying drugs as his concept;;;"
"Now he knows there's a lot more going on in that MV than just some people smoking a cigarette.."
"The idol life must have been really hard for him if he's into stuff like this."
"So that's why he left TREASURE.. Because he wanted to do drugs and girls."
"I mean, if he were still an idol, this MV would be majorly problematic but.."
"I think he's got a serious case of 'artist disease' (and that's not a good thing)." 
"For someone with that much talent and potential, he's really not doing it right."
"He must be around that age when boys go through this phase.. he wants to be cool and hip."
"This is such an overdone hip-hop song and aesthetic.. He could do better."
"The K-Pop idol life was NOT for him."
"Hip-Hop these days is so lame."
"Sure, just do whatever you want but don't expect everyone to like it.."
