Cortis (CORTIS) has been selected for Forbes' '30 Under 30 Asia 2026,' the list of the 30th most influential people under 30 in Asia. Among the Koreans included this year, Cortis is the youngest and the only K-pop boy group.
'30 Under 30 Asia 2026' is an annual list that selects 30 individuals or teams under 30 who have demonstrated significant influence in Asia and the Pacific region. This year, Forbes Asia reporters, editors, and expert panels from various fields verified and selected candidates from approximately 4,000 entries across 10 categories. Cortis (Martin James Juhoon Seonghyun Geonho) made it into the 'Entertainment & Sports' category just nine months after their debut.
Forbes highlighted the group's collaborative creation of content across music, choreography, and video. They were recognized for their global buzz that has shaken up the K-pop landscape and for their growth potential as a 'Young Creator Crew.'
Like their team name, which is derived from the six letters of the phrase 'Think freely beyond the standards and rules set by the world' (COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES), Cortis is loved for its limitless challenges and distinct individuality.
