110216 Starting off with double title tracks; their skills are 'double' the amount also

“대중음악을 하는 아이들이지만 음악을 잘하는 친구들이라는 것을 보여주고 싶었어요.”
이 례적이다. 보통 신인들은 한곡에 ‘올인’하는 반면 더블 타이틀곡을 내세우며 신인답지 않은 자신감을 내비쳤다. 게다가 앨범엔 멤버들이 작사 작곡한 곡들이 수두룩하다. 멤버 모두 5년 이상 음악 쪽에 몸을 담았던 팀답게 ‘실력’으로 무장했다. 6인조 남성그룹 ‘달마시안(이나티, 데이데이, 다리, 지수, 다니엘, 영원)’이 첫 번째 미니앨범을 발표하고 가요계에 야심찬 도전장을 내밀었다.
“6명 멤버 모두가 연습생 시절만 5년 이상이에요. 연습생으로 지내면서 곡을 만든 것만 해도 50~60곡이 넘어요. 모여서 어떤 주제를 던지고 그에 맞는 곡을 만들었더니 그만큼 되더라고요. 이번 앨범 역시 서로 의논하면서 만들어 나갔죠.”
더 블 타이틀곡 중 하나인 ‘러버캅’은 멤버들이 모여 영화 ‘로보캅’을 본 것을 계기로 만들어졌다. 직접 작곡을 한 것은 아니지만 로보캅이 돼서도 사랑하는 이를 지키려는 마음에 감동받아 이런 사랑을 모티브로 한 아이디어를 냈다. 멤버 데이데이가 작사에 참여했지만 멤버 모두의 생각이 담긴 곡이다.
“또 다른 타이틀곡인 ‘그 남자는 반대’나 타이틀곡 경쟁에서 끝까지 살아남았던 ‘로스트 인 러브’에도 데이데이가 작사가로 참여했어요.”
팀 의 래퍼들이 모여서 부른 ‘리얼리 리얼리’는 리더 이나티와 데이데이, 다리가, 팀의 보컬들이 부른 ‘리얼 아이즈’는 메인 보컬 지수를 비롯해 다니엘이 작사와 작곡에 참여했다. 멤버들이 직접 앨범에 참여하다보니 자연스레 ‘달마시안’만의 색깔이 이번 앨범에 잘 묻어난다. 하지만 대중가수인 만큼 대중성도 염두에 뒀다. 보통 데뷔 1~2년이 지나야 하게 되는 고민을 이들은 데뷔 5개월부터 시작했다.
“지 난해 9월 디지털싱글 ‘라운드 1’을 발표했지만 이제부터가 시작인 것 같아요. 비록 미니앨범이지만 7곡이 수록돼 정규앨범 못지않게 구성했고, 전곡이 타이틀곡이 될 수 있을 정도로 한곡한곡 신경을 썼어요. 그러면서도 ‘라운드 1’보다는 우리가 어떤 음악을 추구하는지 보여주고 싶었죠.”
1981년생인 리더 이나티부터 1991년생 막내 다니엘까지 멤버끼리 10세가 차이가 나는 팀이지만 오히려 장점으로 작용하고 있다. 팀 역할이 확실하다보니 불화도 적고, 10대에 맞춘 트렌디한 곡뿐 아니라 30~40대도 즐겨들을 수 있는 음악도 무난히 소화할 수 있다.
“오래 기다린 만큼 정말 열심히 준비했어요. 어서 빨리 대중 앞에 서고 싶어 몸이 근질근질해요. 주인에게 충실한 ‘달마시안’이란 개처럼 팬들 곁에 영원히 남아서 개성 강한 음악을 들려주고 싶어요.”

“Although we’re kids who make music for the public, we want to prove that we’re good at making music.”
It’s rare. Normally for rookies, they go “all in” for one song but they showed confidence which isn’t rookie-like as they set forth double title tracks. Also, the album is full of songs composed by the members. Living up to the status of a team that had all the members go through training on an average of more than five years, they’re armed with “skills.” Six-member male group “Dalmatian” (Inati, Day Day, Dari, Jeesu, Daniel, Youngwon) set a grand challenge to the music industry with the release of their first mini album.
“All six members spent over five years training on average. As trainees, the songs we made surpass 50-60. We gather together and pick out a topic as we make songs revolving that topic, which leads us to how many songs we have right now. of course, this album was made by discussing with one another.”
“Lover Cop,” which is one of the double title tracks, was made after the members had watched the movie “Robot Cop” together. Although they didn’t produce it, they were touched by robot cop who still protected the one he loved and tried to protect her, as they set this as their motive and created ideas. Member Day Day wrote the song, but it’s a song that has contributions from all the members.
“The other title track “The Man Opposed” and “Lost in Love,” which was in the last round in becoming a title track, was also written by Day Day.
The rappers of the team, leader Inati, Day Day, and Dari, gathered together in singing “Really Really” as the team’s vocals sang “Real Eyes,” which was written by main vocalist Jeesu and Daniel. The album naturally creates a “Dalmatian” color with the members participating in the album. However, as an artist of the public, they started living out the worries in which normally artists have after 1-2 years of their debut.
“We released our digital single “Round 1” last September, but now is the beginning for us. Even though it’s just a mini album, we worked on it as if it’s an official one and we stressed on each song being able to be a title song. We wanted to show what kind of music we can make aside from “Round 1.””
Although the leader Inati is born in 1981 while the youngest Daniel is born in 1991, they use this 10 year age gap as an advantage. Since they’re sure of their roles in the team, there’s no disharmony and they’re able to take in a song that not only fits in the trend of those in their teenage years, but what people in their 30s and 40s can enjoy also.
“As much as we made everyone wait, we worked hard on it. Our bodies were itching to hurry and stand on stage before the public. Like a “Dalmatian” that’s loyal to its owner, we will always remain with our fans and give music that’s strong in character to listen to.”

Never-ending compliment relay. “Fantastic Relay”
Inati: You can say he’s the pride of our forum. He started off as a model and it’s been 9 years since he’s been in our company. He featured in MC Mong’s album as well as attended his concerts within those 9 years. Although we’re a rookie group, we’re strong because we have him. He’s cold, but he’s a leader hyung who takes care of each member well.
Day Day: If Inati hyung is like a father figure, then Day Day hyung is like our mom. He takes care of himself thoroughly. Whatever happens, he never forgets to exercise and he thoroughly takes care of his skin. He participated in albums of well known stars like Lee Hyori, Wonder Girls, Son Dambi, etc. He also taught rapping to groups like 2PM, Miss A, Sistar, etc.
Dari: Before I entered the company, I performed raps I wrote at parties and other events. However, I was nothing once I stood on a professional stage. I learned the basics again in my 6 years of training from Inati and Day Day hyung. Now I’m ready.
Jeesu: Even though I’m young, I started music since I was in my 3rd year of middle school. In my 1st year of high school, I learned from a composer hyung as well as participate in choruses. It wouldn’t be wrong to say the saying “Those who have grew up in this ground succeeds.” I want to study more music and be accepted as a musician.
Youngwon: In 2007, I came up from Busan to Seoul with the motive of wanting to become an artist. I went to places here and there by myself as I learned dancing and singing. It was to the point where there’s no place I haven’t been to. Since my parents wanted to become singers to, they supported me all the way.
Daniel: I originally went by “Drama” but when you type it in the search engine, all that comes up is “Secret Garden.” From this album forward, I decided to use my real name Daniel. I grew up in America and at the age of 16, I wanted to become a singer so I went to Korea but it didn’t work so I came back. Last year in April, I got a phone call from our company’s boss and I was accepted into “Dalmatian.” The hyungs say I’m the real leader, despite myself being the youngest. They say I speak my mind. Haha.
