K-pop fans, are you ready? BigHit Music, the agency behind industry bigwigs like BTS and TXT, has just unveiled details about its new group, which is set to make its debut on August 18. The agency not just announced the name of the five-membered group but also released a teaser, hinting at what to expect from the upcoming boy group.
On August 7 at midnight KST, BigHit Music revealed that its brand-new boy band, comprising Martin, James, Juhoon, Seonghyeon and Keonho, will be called CORTIS. It is the first new group under the label since TXT's debut six years ago. A short clip, which showcased the name of the group written in pink on a laptop screen, unveiled the group's name. They are all set to make their debut on August 18.
Moreover, the agency also shared that the group will debut a video on August 10 at midnight KST on its parent company, HYBE Label's official YouTube channel. The video could likely give a hint at their debut music or maybe their overall vibe. Apart from these, BigHit Music revealed that CORTIS now have their official social media profiles on platforms such as X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok.
Who Are The Members Of BigHit Music's CORTIS?
Earlier this year, BigHit Music, a subsidiary of the South Korean entertainment giant HYBE, announced that it would be debuting a new boy group. More recently, they confirmed that the group, named CORTIS, will debut with five members. As reported by Koreaboo, 17-year-old Martin, a Canadian-Korean, is speculated to be the leader of the group. 20-year-old Thai-Chinese descent James is said to be the eldest among the members. The three other members of the group are 17-year-old Juhoon, 16-year-old Seonghyeon, and 16-year-old Keonho, who is the maknae of the group. All three are Koreans.
What Are The Roles Of The Members In CORTIS?
In a previously released statement by BigHit Music, the agency stated that the quintet will be a 'young creators' crew", where members will be creating their own music, choreography and videos. 'They will express their creative talent based on their own stories. All members will take part in the creative process, regardless of their set positions," said the agency. The band members have previously contributed to BIGHIT's other acts, including TXT.
Martin has worked with TXT on Deja Vu, Miracle, and, more recently, on Beautiful Strangers. He has also contributed to ENHYPEN's Outside, LE SSERAFIM's Pierrot, and ILLIT's Magnetic. On the other hand, James has choreographed for TXT and ILLIT.
