DMTN (Korean: 디엠티엔; an initialism for Desire.Motivation.Timing.Now), formerly Dalmatian (달마시안), is a South Korean idol group created and managed by MC Mong under Monkey Funch Entertainment. The original lineup consisted of Inati, Day Day, Donglim, Jeesu, Dari, and Daniel. Dalmatian released a 30-second music video teaser of their debut digital single "Round 1" on August 25, 2010. It was followed by the song and video's full release on September 1, 2010 and the group made their debut performance the following day on Mnet's music program M! Countdown.[1]

On May 7, 2012, Dalmatian announced that Day Day had dropped out of their group due to personal reasons, and member Simon would join the group. Dari enlisted in the military immediately after promotion for "That Man Opposed" ended in 2011, which resulted in his hiatus from the group. Dalmatian compromised Inati, Jeesu, Daniel, Donglim, and Simon.[2] The group then changed its name to DMTN, following its move to a new label. The group went on hiatus in 2013 following Daniel's marijuana scandal.

History

2009–2011: Formation and debut

Dalmatian was conceived by rapper MC Mong in late spring of 2005.[3] He formally announced the five-member group in December 2009 with the intention of debuting them in February of the following year.[4] Dalmatian made a guest appearance at his year-end concert Variety Spirit in the third and final performance of the series at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena in Seoul on December 31, 2009.[5] In March 2010, MC Mong established the music agency Monkey Funch, serving as the company's CEO and record producer.[6] Prior to the group's debut, a member withdrew from the group to enlist in mandatory military service and was replaced by Donglim. In August, management company MacroShore filed an injunction with the Seoul Central District Court against Monkey Funch to prohibit the distribution of Dalmatian's music and videos, claiming that the agency ignored Donglim's exclusive contract with the firm upon adding him to the group in violation of the agreement.[7] The court rejected the complaint the following month.[8]

Formed as a sextet consisting of Inati, Day Day, Dari, Jeesu, Drama, and Yeongwon (Donglim), the members were trainees for an average of five years.[9] A music video teaser for Dalmatian's forthcoming debut was released on August 25, 2010. A Monkey Funch representative stated, "The footprints left by the male in the teaser represent Dalmatian's footprints. It means that Dalmatian will enter the music world and leave their mark."[10] Written by MC Mong and Jo Yeong-su, Dalmatian released their debut single "Round 1" on September 1.[11] The following day, the group made their first music show performance on Mnet's M Countdown.[12] They starred in their variety show Dalmatian's Manager Goes on Strike on Mnet from September 7 to November 9.[13][14] Shortly after the show's premiere, MC Mong was indicted for allegedly evading his mandatory military service; it negatively impacted Dalmatian, other celebrities in his circle, and television series where he served as a cast member.[15] On November 29, Daniel and Beast's Yoseob released the collaboration single "First Snow, First Kiss".[16] In the final two months of the year, Dalmatian were guest performers at SG Wannabe's It's SG Wannabe national concert tour.[17]

On February 14, 2011, Dalmatian released their first self-titled mini-album with the two lead singles "Lover Cop" and "That Man Opposed".[18] Although they promoted both tracks as the title track, "Lover Cop" was only promoted once on broadcast for their comeback, while for regular promotions, they promoted "That Man Opposed". Midway through promotions, Dalmatian released a special remix of "That Man Opposed" and began promotions for the remix on April 4, 2011.[19] Immediately after promotions ended, member Dari enlisted into the army on April 25, 2011.[20] Citing "personal reasons", Day Day also left the group.[21]

2012–2013: State of Emergency and name change

Dalmatian released their second mini-album State of Emergency on May 16, 2012.[22] They made their comeback stage on May 16, 2012 on SBS's Inkigayo, performing their single "E.R".[23] Upon the expiration of the group's contract with IS Entermedia Group, they left the company and signed with 2Works Entertainment.[24]

In 2013, Dalmatian changed their group name to DMTN (Desire. Motivation. Timing. Now), also derived as an abbreviation for their former group name. Their agency explained the decision of name change, commenting, "It is unheard of for a group who is promoting to change their name. However, it was a decision that was made after much thought to give off a different and more mature image than the original Dalmatian."[25] Daniel is said to have come up with the words that DMTN stands for himself.[26] Following the news of the group name change, Yeongwon announced that he would no longer be using his stage name and opted for his birth name Donglim.[27] DMTN released the song "Safety Zone" on January 29, 2013.[28] Following the release of the single, DMTN began regular promotions on Mnet's M Countdown on January 31, 2013.[29]

Drug scandal and dissolution

On March 8, an arrest warrant was filed against member Daniel by the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.[30] Daniel was under suspicion of selling and using marijuana.[31] No marijuana was found in his body when the police ran tests. However, after further hair tests were conducted, he tested positive. On the same day, Daniel admitted to aiding in the distribution of marijuana; however he and his agency both confirmed that Daniel did not physically use or sell marijuana. However, he "acted as the intermediary in the selling of marijuana 12 times and sold marijuana 4 times[32] and was sentenced to 1 year in jail and fined 7,160,000 KRW. Later on, Judge Kim Joo-hyun of the Seoul High Court changed Daniel's one year jail sentence to three years probation. He said during the trial, "Because Daniel's sister has promised to supervise the defendant and Daniel cooperated with the investigation, I have judged in his favor." In addition to his probation, Daniel was required to complete 120 hours of community service and 80 hours of substance abuse rehab. Daniel was charged with using, distributing, and selling marijuana, along with other celebrities, back in March 2013. He admitted to all charges and received a one-year jail sentence in October. He made an appeal and began his seven trial appeal in December. During his appeal, Daniel had asked for forgiveness saying that, "If you show me mercy, I will become a young man that is an asset to this country. Please forgive me." His sister also promised to move to the United States to watch over him as he attends an American university. Daniel received a reduced sentence. Following his marijuana scandal, Daniel stepped down from his MC position on Arirang TV's Pops in Seoul.[33]

2Works Entertainment put the group on a hiatus in 2013. The company commented that, "For the time being, it's hard to make any decisions until Daniel's trial is over. The members currently carrying out activities will continue with them."[34] Furthermore, the company denied rumors of Daniel leaving the group, or the group continuing on without him by clarifying that "we have never thought about group activities without Danny."[34] It ultimately culminated in the de facto disbandment of DMTN.[35] Prior to its demise, the group was scheduled to initiate overseas promotions in April and tentatively release an album in May.[36][37]

2020: Comeback single

On June 15th (KST), members Daniel, Inati, DayDay, Donglim and Dari posted on their individual Instagram accounts a teaser image bearing the date "2020.06.19" and the group's name. The image appears to show a close up of The Creation of Adam that has been pixelated with a blush-pink background.[38][39][40]

Musical style

Dalmatian was formed as a hip hop and dance group.[8] They cited g.o.d as their aspiration.[41] Upon Dalmatian's debut, Han Jun-ho of newspaper Segye Ilbo took note of their retro melodies while commending the members' "exceptional" skills in rapping and dancing.[42]
