“Less than three months old…”
Koreaboo
HYBE’s rookie boy group CORTIS are earning widespread praise after their show-stopping stage at the 2025 Korea TikTok Awards.
Despite having debuted less than three months ago, the group’s live performance of their hit track “FaSHioN” has taken social media by storm, with many international netizens stunned by their skill and charisma.
During the performance, the five members showcased an energy and stage presence far beyond their experience. They interacted directly with the audience, dancing up close, jumping onto tables, and hyping up the crowd in a way rarely seen from newly debuted idols.
