Big Hit Music, the agency behind BTS and Tomorrow x Together, has revealed the name of their new boy group. At midnight on the 7th, Big Hit Music launched the new boy group’s official SNS channel and announced the team name, CORTIS. CORTIS is a name created by irregularly combining the six letters of the English phrase ″COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES.″ It symbolizes ″thinking freely, breaking free from the world’s established standards and rules.″

CORTIS consists of five members: Martin, James, Joo Hoon, Sung Hyun, and Gun Ho. Like their name suggests, they plan to showcase their creative work with fresh perspectives and unique ideas. CORTIS also took a unique approach in revealing their name. They first revealed their name through a ″Logo Sound″ video posted to the global short-form video platform TikTok at midnight on the 7th. The short-form video was created using Martin’s own music composition program.

The video features the team name appearing and a mysterious sound playing. This content reflects the identity of the ″Young Creator Crew,″ a collaborative group that creates music, choreography, and videos. They are introducing themselves through their own work. The video, released alongside ″Logo Sound,″ also revealed the members for the first time. Kortis filmed themselves immersed in their work, happily filming each other in a space filled with various audio equipment and keyboards. This video captures the atmosphere of the actual studio, offering a glimpse into Kortis’s authentic side.

Furthermore, the members showcased their unique flair by promoting their team’s SNS channel with their custom-designed studio as the backdrop. Kortis will officially debut on the 18th. Comprised entirely of teenagers, the ″Young Creator Crew″ will showcase their creative talents across various fields, including songwriting, composition, choreography, and videography, based on their own stories. Expectations are rising among K-pop fans for the new group, which will be the first in six years from Big Hit Music, the ″boy group powerhouse″ that includes BTS and TXT.
