Martin from the group Cortis spoke about copyright.

The the 5th broadcast of MBC's variety program 'Radio Star', themed "Between Fashion and Passion, A Shot of Hip~", featured Choi Won-young, Lee Tae-ran, Bada, and Martin of Cortis as guests.

On this day, Martin made everyone surprised by stating he was born in 2008 during his first variety show appearance on terrestrial television. Martin said, "It's the first time I'm appearing without my members. Fortunately, a friend who speaks well suggested we go ahead."

In response, Kim Gura expressed surprise, saying, "You're 10 years younger than Dong-hyun." Martin replied, "I grew up watching variety shows. Since senior Bada is also appearing, I learned by viewing her as someone in K-pop."

Regarding Cortis's popularity, Martin explained, "We reached 100 million views just 34 days after debut. For our second album, we achieved 100 million streams within 15 days. We are truly grateful." He further clarified the trends 'Young-keu-keu' and 'Old-keu-keu', stating, "We did not create the term 'Old-keu-keu'. During our debut showcase, when asked for keywords to describe Cortis, we answered 'Young Creator Crew,' which was then written as 'Young-keu-keu.' After that, the term 'Young-keu-keu' kept coming to mind."

Choi Won-young asked, "Did you also plan the music video?" Martin responded, "For our first album, it felt like we followed the company's direction, but for the second album, our opinions were heavily reflected."

Yoo Se-yoon remarked, "At this point, the company might not be needed," to which Martin clarified, "However, even appearing on broadcasts is supported by the company."

Martin then added, "I'm envious of something. The chemistry between members Eom Sung-hyun and An Geon-ho, known as 'Eom & An', is excellent. Both are handsome, so things go well for them. People often say Eom Sung-hyun is handsome, but no one says that about me. I need to start a Martin boom."

Regarding Cortis, Martin explained, "I am involved in writing lyrics, composing music, and choreography. There are no specific roles assigned; all members participate broadly. We work closely together, often colliding and arguing. While we operate as a team, there are times when we work individually. In my case, I also participated in composing songs for senior groups like ILLIT and Tomorrow X Together."

Continuing on copyright distribution, he stated, "Since it's business, each person's credit is definitely secured. Sometimes we look out for one another. Even when working as if a single person wrote the lyrics, opinions differ even over particles like 'eul' or 'reul'. There are cases where shares are divided word by word," surprising everyone with his detailed explanation.
