Let's start with: Why were they named Dalmatian?
The official reason is dalmatians "are very loyal, never shameful, have an outgoing personality, and are free-spirited." So this group is aiming to be just like the dog; they want to be loyal and 100% committed to the music and fans.
Really, it's all because of MC Mong who said, "Honestly, I made the name without thinking much about it..^^ I just wanted them to work with music that had character. Dogs honestly don’t betray their owners. They’re always loyal and so I just wanted them to serve the public in not losing their rookie state of mind and focus on music. That’s why I named them Dalmatian..^^"
The group Dalmatian is a six member korean pop band. It consists of Inati, Day Day, Dari, Jisu, Young Won, and Drama (listed from oldest to youngest). The ages range from being a '81er (29) to a '91er (19). Drama was born in California, Day Day went to University of Maryland, and Inati went to a school in New Zealand.
MC Mong was the one to personally recruit all the members and bring them together. Dalmatian's official debut was on September 3rd on Mnet Countdown with their single (released September 1st) Round 1. Though, they were first mentioned as a five member group back in December 2009, helping with MC Mong's solo concert and featured in some of his songs (
Dalmatian Love,
Roban Jula & Indian Boy ,
Circus). The five previous members of Dalmatian were Inati, Day Day, Dari, Jisu, and
Simon.
