CORTIS, the 'Big Hit Music rookie', is attracting attention with its solid vocal talent.
CORTIS (Martin, James, Juhun, Seonghyun, Gunho) appeared on the YouTube channel It's Live at 5 p.m. on the 2nd and presented the title track 'What You Want' from their debut album with a band live performance.
CORTIS delivered a perfect live stage over rich band sounds. The members freely moved around the space while singing and added 'listening pleasure' with improvisation. The band's arrangement amplified the charm of the original song, utilizing psychedelic rock guitar riffs. Furthermore, the singing style, reminiscent of a shouting voice, conveyed the unrestrained energy of being a teenager. They proved their solid skills with a stage reminiscent of a rock festival, making viewers want to join in.
Having debuted on the 18th of last month, CORTIS is rapidly increasing its presence based on unwavering vocal ability. During music broadcasts, they insisted on going live while performing complex routines on 11 treadmills. They also showcased their skills on KBS Cool FM's 'Park Myung-soo's Radio Show', as well as on the YouTube channels 'SoundBOMB360˚' and 'Storing Live'. Viewers commented, "It's unbelievable that they are a rookie who just debuted," and, "You can feel the on-site energy in every performance," offering high praise.
The positive reviews towards the live performances are leading to the song's popularity. 'What You Want' positioned itself at 15th in the latest (as of Sept. 1) Korean Apple Music 'Today's Top 100', aiming for the top ranks. Considering that its first entry rank was 91st (as of Aug. 20), this is an astonishing upward trend.
CORTIS is the new group introduced by Big Hit Music, a label under HYBE (Chairman Bang Si-hyuk), after six years following BTS and TOMORROW X TOGETHER. They are proving their production capabilities as a 'Young Creator Crew' that co-creates music, choreography, and videos, while gaining immense popularity by sharing their 'no filter' daily lives through original content. Their first original content, 'Pack Up Bro', posted on their official YouTube channel on the 21st of last month, surpassed 1 million views around 1 a.m. on the 2nd. It is quite rare for a rookie group to achieve 1 million views with a daily life video.
