Cortis, is a South Korean boy band formed by Big Hit Music. The group consists of five members: Martin, James, Juhoon, Seonghyeon, and Keonho. They debuted on August 18, 2025, with the digital single “What You Want&quot; followed by their first EP, &quot;Color Outside the Lines&quot;. The group’s name is derived from the phrase “Color Outside the Lines,” reflecting their concept of creative freedom and nonconformity. Cortis has been promoted as a self-producing “creator crew,” with members participating in songwriting, choreography, and visual direction. Blending pop, hip-hop, and experimental elements, the group gained early attention for their performance skills, self-produced content, and strong rookie-year sales, establishing them as one of Big Hit Music’s newer generation acts.

It’s one thing to translate a song from Korean into English. It’s an entirely different thing to translate a rap into English and then meticulously retool it until the translation flows as seamlessly as the original. But that’s exactly what YouTube creator Jii has done.

Sitting somewhere between dream pop, indie rock, and disco is Soulmoon’s “Coconut Love.” A strong sub bass line rips underneath riffy funk guitars and sweet indie female vocals as goofy internet-era synth plays over the top.&nbsp;
