Previously known as “Dalmatian”, DMTN is a six-member K-Pop idol boy group managed by IS Entermedia Group. DMTN consists of members Inati, Dari (currently fulfilling mandatory South Korean military enlistment time), Simon, Donglim, Jeesu, and “maknae” Daniel.
The group has previously released two mini albums to date and had just made their long-awaited comeback earlier this year, after moving to a new label (from Monkey Funch Entertainment to IS Entertainment Group) and changing their group name (from “Dalmatian” to “DMTN”).
But it seems that a major setback has come to rain on their parade.
Moments ago, it was reported that DMTN’s “maknae” (aka youngest), Daniel is in some serious trouble. An arrest warrant has been issued against the 22-year-old idol for the sale and use of marijuana. In fact, the report specifically states that Daniel also under suspicion of repeated marijuana use from September 2012 to December 2012. The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s narcotics division filed the warrant this past 8th.
Oh boy. This is going to make G-Dragon’s case look like a walk in the park. Or the South Korean actresses’ Propofol abuse look like eating a sandwich on a sunny day, on a park bench. You get the picture – this weighs really, really heavily upon not only Daniel but also DMTN and their agency.
Meanwhile, DMTN’s agency has released a statement which says, “The situation is more complicated than what the report states.We’ll give you a detailed explanation later on”. Uh oh.
More to come as the story unfolds.
