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.

K-pop 팬덤은 결코 단순한 소비에만 머물러 있지 않았다. 팬들은 수십 년 동안 콘텐츠를 아카이빙하고, 번역하고, 공유해 왔으며, 이는 접근성을 위한 일이기도 했고 아티스트의 역사에서 자칫 사라질 수 있는 순간들을 지키려는 본능에서 비롯된 일이기도 했다.
