BIGHIT is all set to launch an all new boy band, named CORTIS. The team will comprise members Martin, James, Juhoon, Seonghyeon and Keonho, ranging from 16 to 19 years old. CORTIS, the highly anticipated Kpop boy group under BigHit Music, shared valuable advice they've received by other artists from the same label, HYBE. According to Martin, the group's leader, BTS emphasised treating everyone they work with, including staff, with kindness and respect.
In a conversation with Rolling Stone, Martin said, BTS told them, "Do well by the people that you're working with, the staff." He said, "I feel like that's all that matters. To hit a long run, you've got to be good to the people around you. You've got to show love."
CORTIS member James said, "I think in the end, we make up CORTIS, but at the same time, the staff and everyone included - they're all part of CORTIS. It's all a big team and big family."
It's worth noting that CORTIS is BigHit Music's first new boy group in six years, following TXT's debut. With their debut highly anticipated, CORTIS is expected to make a significant impact in the Kpop industry.
