CORTIS’s MARTIN Says “Between the Chicken and the Egg, the Chicken Came First”

Idol group CORTIS, who popularized the new term “Young Creator Crew” among the MZ generation, is now drawing attention with a cheerful philosophical debate.

Recently, a video uploaded to CORTIS’s official YouTube channel has been spreading rapidly among fans. While waiting for a music show, member MARTIN argued that “the chicken came before the egg,” presenting his own reasoning. MARTIN claimed, “When an egg is formed, chicken protein must be involved, so the chicken has no choice but to come first.” The members beside him then poured out a barrage of bold questions such as, “Then how did that chicken come into being?”, “Did you see it yourself?”, and “Why?”, showing off their cheerful chemistry. Fans who watched the video responded enthusiastically with reactions such as, “It’s funny no matter how many times I watch it,” and “MARTIN’s logic is so CORTIS-like.”

CORTIS is a group receiving absolute support from the MZ generation with this kind of content sense. Behind-the-scenes videos filled with the members’ bold wit and free-spirited atmosphere have continued to become hot topics, and they are being recognized not only for their music activities but also for their side as content creators. In particular, the expression “Young Creator Crew” spread mainly through CORTIS’s fandom and has established itself as a new term used across the MZ generation.

Their musical achievements are also dazzling. CORTIS released the title track ‘REDRED’ from their second mini album on May 20 and recorded 2.31 million copies in initial chodong sales according to Hanteo Chart, becoming a double million-seller. Even after the release, they have continued their upward momentum by steadily appearing on Hanteo’s country-specific chart. They are being praised for having not only fandom power but also public competitiveness on music charts.

Having captured both content and music performance at the same time, CORTIS is establishing themselves as truly all-round idols. Just like this video, which added CORTIS’s cheerful energy to the age-old philosophical debate over whether the chicken or the egg came first, they are expected to continue bringing both laughter and emotion to fans.
