The group CORTIS reinforced their teamwork during a school trip commemorating their first debut anniversary by sharing sincere feelings for one another.

CORTIS (Martin, James, Juhun, Sunghyun, Gunho) released their own entertainment video "2026 school year 1st anniversary school trip guide (2)" on the team's official YouTube channel on the afternoon of the 21st.

This content was planned with a school trip concept that goes beyond a simple trip to experience learning while touring historic sites. In the previous episode, the members spent a meaningful time solving history quizzes after visiting the Baekje cultural complex in Buyeo, Chungnam, and in episode 2 they moved to their lodging to enjoy the recreation, the Highlight of the school trip.

Above all, the time spent turning off the lights in the auditorium, sitting in a circle and sharing candid stories drew attention. It was a moment that offered a glimpse of how the trust and memories they built over a year since debut had translated into a close-knit teamwork.

The members talked on the theme "things we are thankful for but did not express to members" and conveyed their gratitude to one another, saying, "Thank you for making me feel camaraderie by being with me in hard times and happy times. I'm relieved and happy that the people closest to me are the people I can trust the most. I don't think there will be people like this in life. I'm glad that people who want to achieve the same things have met and are doing well together."

They did not forget their sincerity toward fans. CORTIS expressed gratitude to COER (the fandom name), saying, "Because of each and every one of you, our stages shine and each day is truly precious. We want to say that everything is thanks to you."

The members then spent about 40 minutes writing rolling papers with heartfelt messages. The rolling papers, pressed down in handwriting, were released that day through the global superfans platform Weverse. Warm messages to the members and fans, such as "We are always grateful and we love you. I hope we can run together more vigorously than we have," added to the warmth.

Meanwhile, CORTIS will hold the "2026 CORTIS TOUR BIRTHDAY PARTY" at Korea University Hwajeong Gymnasium in Seoul for two days from today (the 22nd) through the 23rd. It is part of their first tour, which sold out all seats for 14 performances in nine cities, and a concert commemorating their first debut anniversary.

It is especially meaningful because they return after one year to the venue where they held the "RELEASE PARTY" immediately following the release of their debut album last year to hold a solo concert.
