Actor Moon So-ri confessed her intense fandom for the group KORTIS.

During the 'AAA 2025' awards ceremony, Moon took the stage to deliver her acceptance speech, publicly praising KORTIS's performance by saying, "KORTIS's (stage) was so good. It was truly moving," which sparked widespread discussion.

Having witnessed KORTIS's performance firsthand, Moon conveyed the powerful impact she felt at the time. She recalled, "I told actress Eom Ji-won, who was sitting next to me, 'Oh my, oh my, what are they? Who are they? Look at them,' and I remember saying, 'I was so excited I would have jumped out if I weren't wearing a dress,' with a laugh."

The moment she met KORTIS members directly in the waiting room also became an unforgettable memory. Moon said, "KORTIS came to greet us in the waiting room, and I was surprised. The members also looked surprised when they heard how much I liked them."

She continued, "Meeting them in person, they had such young faces, and they were so pure and polite that it was hard to believe they were artists with such skill. I was even more surprised to learn the youngest member was born in 2010. It was truly admirable that they showed such capability at such a young age."

Her affection for KORTIS continues in her daily life. Moon stated, "Even during photoshoots or when getting into character for a role, I often listen to KORTIS music. If I look tired or lack energy, the makeup team naturally plays KORTIS music for me." She added, "Then my spirits immediately lift. People around me also say, 'It seems KORTIS music is what gives me energy.'"

Recently, she revealed she is also attempting to secure concert tickets. Moon said, "I should have joined the membership beforehand, but I missed it due to filming. Still, I'm trying to challenge the general sale and even asked my company staff for help." She also shared, "I asked my daughter for help, and she said, 'Mom, ticketing isn't helped by heaven, but by fingers.' So I'm also receiving help from people around me with fast fingers."

She also expressed her support for KORTIS. Moon said, "This album took an unexpected direction, which made it even more interesting. I hope they continue to deliver music that exceeds fans' expectations in the future."

She further added, "Rather than safe choices that everyone expects will sell well, I hope they continue to make bold new attempts that make people wonder, 'Will this really work?' As young and creative artists, I hope they continue to make bold challenges like they are doing now."

Meanwhile, Moon So-ri is continuing her lecture performance 'Dance Speaks' with choreographer LIA KIM. She is also preparing for the premiere of JTBC's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'Apartment,' which will air for the first time on July 11, and the upcoming release of the film 'International Market 2' scheduled for the second half of this year.

Moon shared her recent activities, saying, "I've been so busy it feels like I haven't been this busy since my debut." She explained, "At the beginning of last year, I had such quiet times that I wondered if I could ever be this free, but now I'm moving between films, dramas, and performances in a frantic manner. I hope these busy times yield good results."

Moon also stated, "First, I have a performance schedule lined up, and I need to wrap up 'International Market 2' well. Recently, while watching an independent feature film, I recalled the kinds of projects I used to do frequently." She added, "I realized it's been a long time since I worked on such projects. If given the chance, I'd like to work on independent films again."
