The group CORTIS was invited to perform at the halftime show of South Korea's national soccer team match.
CORTIS, consisting of members Martin, James, Juhun, Sunghyun, and Gunho, took the stage during the halftime of the South Korea vs. Ghana match held at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the evening of the 18th. They were invited as models for KT, the official sponsor of the South Korean national soccer team.
CORTIS delivered a powerful performance, leaving a strong impression. The event drew significant attention as it was the last A-match of the year for the national team. The five members captivated the audience from the start, wearing outfits that were a reformed version of the anthem jackets worn by the national team players.
They performed their debut album's title track 'What You Want' and the intro track 'GO!' in succession, elevating the atmosphere. Their performance, which spanned the vast stadium, was enough to warm the audience despite the winter chill. The members cleverly incorporated soccer-like moves into their choreography, earning enthusiastic responses from soccer fans. The chorus of 'GO!' resonated with the crowd, highlighting the song's popularity.
CORTIS is set to appear at several year-end award shows and broadcasts, including the '2025 MAMA AWARDS' at Hong Kong's Kai Tak Stadium on November 28-29, the '10th Anniversary Asia Artist Awards 2025' at Taiwan's Kaohsiung National Stadium on December 6, and the '2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon' at Incheon Inspire Arena on December 25.
