HYBE’s highly anticipated rookie boy group CORTIS is drawing attention online even before their official debut.
The group is set to officially debut with their first EP 'Color Outside The Lines' on September 8 KST, and has been steadily building anticipation through teaser content and promotional videos. The group has already dropped the pre-release track "GO!" and will be rolling out the second pre-release track "What You Want."
Recently, a video introducing the members aired on Mnet, where the members showed off their charm and also built anticipation for their upcoming pre-release track.
The video quickly gained traction with viewers noticing the striking height difference among the members, with one member noticeably towering over the remaining four.
But the conversation hasn’t stopped there. Some Korean netizens have pointed out that the members appear somewhat different in the video compared to their polished concept photos.
"Hul… they looked handsome in the released photos though."
"…Are they all foreigners? Why is their pronunciation like that?"
"No… the problem isn’t the height, it’s the faces."
"Trainee A was better."
"Why do they look so different from the photos?"
"Seriously, makes me think Trainee A was a waste…"
"Are they all foreigners?? No Korean members?"
"I was wondering why they give off a Japanese idol vibe… turns out the hair/makeup styling is Japanese style."
"Are they all foreigners? The pronunciation…"
"Wow, the height difference is crazy..."
"Hul…"
"Didn’t they say the height difference wasn’t that big? It looks worse in the video, though?? I wonder what their nationalities are…"
"What is this…"
"Oh, so they’re clearly targeting the US/Europe Western market."
"I was shocked because they looked so different from the photos."
"They give off Jpop group vibes."
"They should’ve just trained Trainee A well and debuted them…"
"I don’t know if this is better…? I don’t like how there’s just one tall person. I honestly prefer when they’re all shorter."
"They look so different from the photos, and they don’t feel like Korean idols."
"I don’t think they’re all foreigners, but the pronunciation is seriously bad. Sounds like they’re mumbling half-asleep, not pleasant to listen to. Don’t rookies usually speak clearly and precisely?"
"Something about all their hair/makeup styling is off."
"Girl groups keep getting prettier, but the boy group pool must be really lacking…"
