After announcing their official fandom name, CORTIS members reunite to teach fans the pronunciation, raising more doubts and fun reactions through social networks.
On November 24, the agency behind the boy group shared a new statement announcing the fandom name will be ‘COER‘, which unites the ‘COR‘ of CORTIS and the ‘~ER’ of “those who stand together”, while also echoing ‘CORE’.

However, many fans had doubts about the pronunciation of this name, so when a few hours later the boy group went live on Weverse, they took the opportunity to teach fans how to pronounce their name, but this did not end well.
CORTIS members fail to explain the pronunciation of COER.
Four of the members were debating about if it was ‘co-er’, ‘cor’ or ‘coe’ giving their opinions and making fans laugh with their confusion, but finally one of them said, “Just say whatever you want to”, generating a fun reaction among fans who left comments like:
