In the ever-shifting world of K-pop, new groups arrive every year, but when BigHit Music announces a debut, the industry listens. Just days before BTS gears up for their long-awaited comeback, the label has revealed their newest project: CORTIS, a five-member boy group set to debut on August 18, 2025. With each member not only performing but also contributing to songwriting, choreography, and production, CORTIS promises to bring a level of artistry and authenticity rarely seen in rookie acts.
CORTIS is made up of five teenage members whose names and full profiles are set to drop in the coming week. What we do know: they’re not just idols, they’re creators. BigHit has described them as “a collaborative powerhouse,” where every track, dance break, and visual concept has the members’ fingerprints on it.
This approach echoes the early days of BTS, when the group was heavily involved in their own music, but CORTIS aims to take it even further, blurring the line between performer and producer.
Launching CORTIS now, right before BTS’s return, is a bold move. On one hand, BTS will inevitably dominate headlines; on the other, CORTIS benefits from riding the wave of global attention on BigHit. It’s a strategic gamble: introduce a fresh act when the whole world is already tuned in to the label.
Fans are already speculating whether the groups will interact, share stages, or even collaborate in some capacity.
While BigHit has kept much of CORTIS’s music under wraps, teaser snippets hint at a blend of EDM-infused pop, hip-hop beats, and cinematic orchestration, a soundscape designed to feel global from day one. Fashion-wise, early promo shots show an edgy, streetwear-meets-high-fashion aesthetic, signaling that the group’s concept will be just as layered as their music.
BigHit Music isn’t just introducing another boy group, they’re launching what could be the next generation’s creative trailblazers. With a hands-on approach to their art, impeccable timing, and the powerhouse backing of BigHit, CORTIS’s debut could mark a major shift in how rookie idols are perceived.
If you want to be part of their journey from day one, follow BigHit’s socials, set your reminders for August 18, and get ready to stan early, because CORTIS might just be the name everyone’s talking about by year’s end.
