110224 Dalmatian, "We will be a loyal group to our fans!"
After putting out their first mini album, rookie group Dalmatian showed their determination in displaying what they are with “one hit.”
The members who endured through 9 years in training (*T/N: Probably generalized Inati’s training years for the group as a whole), revealed their debut song “Round 1” last year but due to various issues, they were only able to promote for 2 weeks. Now as a rookie, they showed their determination in promoting officially through two title tracks.
The support from the company was outstanding as well. With Shinsadong Tiger creating the sweet dance song “The Man Opposed” while “Lover Cop” has a masculine image with a house beat, the two title tracks both have music videos filmed and are currently being promoted together. Not only that, but the members of Dalmatian were all involved with producing, making the lyrics, and styling in the album. There were a lot of skilled idol groups in the past but upon their debut, there has been no group so active in participating in their album.
“We produced it ourselves. We participated a lot in writing the lyrics for the songs and the uniqueness of “Lover Cop” was our idea. The company trusted us completely on our thoughts and showing our color. Despite hardships, they allowed us to film both music videos. We’ll work really hard in returning the favor to the company. (Laughs).” (Inati)
Making their debut as the group Dalmatian was known 4-5 years ago in the music industry. After facing a long period of training, leader Inati was finally able to make his debut after 9 years. All the other members were involved in the music industry and stacked their skills over the years.
“There hasn’t been a job I haven’t had. In my 3rd year of high school, I made drains and advertising signs for places as well as working in groceries and a stationary store. I think experiences working in those places helped me in my music today.” (Inati)
When mentioning experience in society, the other members are also up to par with Inati. Day Day, who is from the States, was a rapper for the last months of Shinhwa’s 8th and 9th album as he also stood on stag with Lee Hyori on stage for “Shall We Dance” as a rapper. He was also a rap teacher for JYP Entertainment in teaching Wonder Girls, Miss A, etc.
Dari was also an infamous rapper in clubs with other underground artists while Jeesu who plays piano well was a back-up vocal in receiving guiding from various composers. He even worked in the baby section of a mall to buy an instrument. Youngwon was famous for his dancing in Busan and Daniel who is also from the States was preparing in becoming a singer with BEAST’s Yoseob in MBOAT but flew back to America when they decided to discontinue preparations for their debut. During his time in preparing to become a singer, he worked various part-time jobs such as a bakery where he learned Korean.
Dalmatians follow their owners well and are known to never betray them. Like the group name, we will become a group for our fans.
“An honest group that gives the vibe of an older or younger brother, we want to be a friendly group. Like a Dalmatian, we will stay loyal to our fans!” (Inati)
