From debut to now
- 2010Activity began as Dalmatian around the music video for Round 1, pushing a hip hop flavour and bright characters to the front.
- 2011The Man Opposed opened a more melodic way in, and the main video route of the Dalmatian years survives from there.
- 2012E.R raised the tension in both sound and picture, and the official MBC stage shows how that felt as live performing.
- 2013Safety Zone arrived under the DMTN name, so the move from the older Dalmatian spelling to the new one is easy to trace.
- 2026From the Dalmatian era of Round 1 through to the DMTN era of Safety Zone, official video from before and after the renaming can be looked back on together.

KPOP DISCOVER's DMTN / Dalmatian note
Inati, Dari, Jeesu, Daniel, Donglim and Simon made their debut under the name Dalmatian in September 2010. Born out of the production context around MC Mong, the group combined rap and vocals and held its own position among the mid-tier acts of the later second generation. The lightness and hip hop colour of the opening song Round 1 became the first face of the group.
Three songs cannot be skipped as a way in: Round 1, E.R and Safety Zone. Round 1 catches the bright energy of the Dalmatian years, while E.R from 2012, included on State of Emergency, lets the tension in sound and picture step up a level. The official MBC stage footage confirms the density of the live performing, so the range of the group comes through clearly.
In 2013 the group name changed from Dalmatian to DMTN with the release of Safety Zone. Under the new name the writing moved in a more grown-up direction, and what remains is a catalogue condensed into a short span. Round 1, then E.R, then Safety Zone covers the energy of the Dalmatian years, the rise in tension and where the renaming landed.
Editors' take Round 1 / E.R / Safety Zone — a hip hop flavour and the path through a renaming in three songs, from a six-piece out of Monkey Funch Entertainment / 2Works Entertainment.
Trivia worth knowing
Name
Knowing both Dalmatian and DMTN makes the official videos far easier to turn up in a search.
Entry point
Round 1 holds the brightness of the early days, E.R the sharper edge, and Safety Zone the impression left after the name change.
Members
Inati, Dari, Jeesu, Daniel, Donglim and Simon make up the six, and keeping that list to hand makes the roles easy to follow across a short career.
Videos
Official video leans towards music videos, so the MBC broadcast stage for E.R fills in how the songs looked in live performance.
Note
Re-uploads and clips of unclear origin gather easily around older acts, so footage from 1theK, MBCkpop and other official channels is the ground worth trusting.
Comparison
Set beside ZE:A, MBLAQ and B1A4, the differences in sound and presentation among boy groups around 2010 come into focus.

Japan activity score
KPOP DISCOVER original metric
No. 213/ 241 groups
No. 213 of 241 groups with recorded activity in Japan (top 88%)
- 0Japanese releases
- 0Japan-related tracks
- 1Members from Japan
- 0Official Japanese accounts
The denominator is the 241 groups, out of 564 covered by KPOP DISCOVER, whose raw score reaches at least one point. The score adds 10 points per Japanese-market release, 3 per Japan-related track, 12 per member from Japan, and 8 per official Japanese account. Japanese-market releases carry the most weight because they are the most direct evidence of activity; related tracks add track-level detail; members from Japan stand for Japanese-language communication and continuity; official accounts stand for a permanent point of contact. The weights are an editorial judgement, not a statistical optimisation, and the ranking tracks release volume in Japan closely.
