DMTN (abbreviation of Desire.Motivation.Timing.Now), previously known as Dalmatian (Korean: 달마시안), is a seven-member boyband based in South Korea, created and formerly managed by Monkey Funch Entertainment, which also manages MC Mong. The group 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 officially debuted on the following day on Mnet's music program M! Countdown. On May 7, 2012, Dalmatian announced that Day Day had dropped out of their group due to personal reasons, and member Simon (who had left the group before debut due to personal reasons) would rejoin the group. Member, Dari enlisted in the military immediately after promotion for “That Man Opposed" ended in 2011, which resulted in his hiatus from the group. This left Dalmatian's lineup to consist of Inati, Jeesu, Daniel, Donglim, and Simon. The group then changed its name to DMTN, following its move to a new label. Following member Daniel's drug controversy, the group has been put on hiatus, while the members pursue individuals activities.
Before debut, DMTN was a four-member group consisting of members Inati, Day Day, Dari, and Simon. In 2009, DMTN's pre-debut lineup was featured on a track on MC Mong's fifth album, Humanimal, on the track "Dalmatian Love". Member Simon was also featured on another track on Humanimal. Shortly after, Jeesu was added to the group, making DMTN a five-member group.
All seven of the DMTN members have been revealed to have previous experience with performing. The leader Inati was a model for big name brands and companies such as SK Sky, McDonald's, and LG070. Inati was also a member of People Crew with MC Mong. Members Dari, Simon, DayDay and Jeesu have all been featured in MC Mong albums and concerts. Dari was featured in MC Mong's fourth and fifth album, as well as his 2009 concert "Variety Mind" along with member Jeesu. Day Day has previous experience being a rap trainer for JYP Entertainment as well as other companies and celebrities such as Wonder Girls' Hye Rim, 2PM, miss A, Secret, SISTAR, Girls' Day, and BESTie. Day Day has also featured on tracks of many Korean pop legends such as Lee Hyo-ri, Wonder Girls, Son Dam-bi, Uhm Jung-hwa, Wheesung and Baek Ji-young. Daniel's UCC past revealed pre-debut videos he had made with B2ST's Yoseob called "How to Seduce Mr. Daniel."
