Dalmatian releases comeback image teaser + member changes

Dalmatian has announced that they will finally be making their first comeback in a year and three months with their second mini-album, ‘State of Emergency‘.

The group will be coming back as a five member group sans member Day Day. On May 7th, representatives of the group’s agency announced, “Day Day will be departing the group due to personal reasons, and new member Simon will be taking his place.”

The group’s other member, Dari, enlisted in the army after the group’s “The Man Opposed” promotions last year, and consequently will not be able to join the group for their comeback promotions this year.

Going forward, Dalmatian will be comprised of Inati, Jeesu, Daniel, Youngwon, and Simon. Their comeback album is said to be composed, written, and produced by all of the members themselves.

The agency continued, “Unlike the fun concept shown in their first mini-album, this comeback album aims to show the changes they’ve undergone with modern, high quality music.”

‘State of Emergency’ will be released on May 15th. Stay tuned for teasers!
