On November 18 KST, CORTIS performed during the half time show at the international A match between the soccer national representative teams of Korea and Ghana at Seoul World Cup Stadium. The group appeared as the musical act of this half time show as the advertisement models of the communication brand 'KT'.
The 5-members of CORTIS appeared at Seoul World Cup Stadium on this day wearing the jackets worn by the members of South Korea's national team, looking the part of heartthrob soccer teammates. The boys performed their debut album songs "What You Want" and "GO!", hyping up the crowd.
In particular, member James's visuals garnered explosive attention on social media shortly after the performance, as fans reacted to his new, short dirty blond hair style.
K-netizens reacted with comments like,
"I still can't believe James isn't wasian. Like he's not even a quarter? How is he giving off such a Western vibe when he's literally a mix of Asian and Asian, Taiwanese-Thai?"
"James was so handsome yesterday he looked even more handsome because of the cold you know what I mean."
"He literally looks German."
"He doesn't even have one Western ancestor somewhere up in the tree?"
"Seriously giving off 'Twilight' vibes."
"It's the dirty blond hair that made this look."
"I'm willing to bet there's some white in his family that he doesn't even know about."
"I thought he'd be wasian for sure, that's a surprise."
Meanwhile, CORTIS will be performing at various year-end ceremonies and events including the '2025 MAMA Awards' from November 28-29, the '10th Anniversary Asia Artist Awards' on December 6, the '2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon' on December 25, and more.
