Boy group CORTIS showcased their identity as a true “young creator crew” on a globally popular radio program.
On October 15 (local time), members Martin, James, Juhun, Sunghyun, and Gunho appeared on Apple Music Radio’s The Zane Lowe Show, broadcast from Apple Music Studios in Culver City, Los Angeles. The show has recently featured top global artists such as Taylor Swift and Tyler, The Creator.
Host Zane Lowe highlighted that CORTIS are a “young creator crew” who collaborate across music, choreography, and video production, adding that they are “a team with a natural chemistry,” and expressed excitement about meeting them.
The five members shared,
“We enjoy expressing ourselves not just through music, but also through videos, photography, and every creative medium available to us. The creative process itself is fun for us.”
They also discussed their intro track “GO!”, which has been gaining traction on domestic and international music charts.
“‘GO!’ was born right here in Los Angeles during a songwriting camp,” the group explained. “All of us were running around the studio working on it. The song captures our wild, untamed energy.”
Talking about their debut album COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES, CORTIS added,
“It’s like a diary that shows the real CORTIS. We tried our best to express who we truly are.”
A surprise video call with American singer-songwriter Teezo Touchdown, who collaborated on the album’s title track ‘What You Want’ and featured in its English version, added to the excitement.
Teezo Touchdown praised the group, saying:
“CORTIS’s drive and work ethic are contagious — truly incredible. Ever since meeting them, I’ve been working ten times harder myself. When you combine their natural talent with relentless effort, the results are bound to be extraordinary.”
