A half-time moment that captured hearts

CORTIS lit up the Seoul World Cup Stadium on November 18, 2025, during the halftime show for the Korea versus Ghana international A match. As the newest advertising models for the communication brand KT, the five members took the field wearing jackets styled after the national soccer team’s uniforms, ready to perform. Their performances of “What You Want” and “GO” turned the stadium into a full energy zone.

James’ new hair steals the conversation

The moment that really made social media explode came from member James! His new short, dirty blond hairstyle instantly grabbed attention, sending fans into meltdown mode. But this wasn’t even the first time the look made waves across the Internet. Earlier this November, James debuted the cut for the very first time, stepping away from his signature slicked-back wet hair and surprising everyone with a shorter length and warm blond tone. Several airport photos spread quickly as fans were introduced to his new look for the first time.

A packed agenda for CORTIS

With all eyes on them after the halftime performance, CORTIS is gearing up for a packed lineup of year-end events. The group is scheduled to appear at the 2025 MAMA Awards on November 28 and 29, the tenth Anniversary Asia Artist Awards on December 6, and the 2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon on December 25. And as fans wait for what’s next in their agenda, one thing’s for sure: James’ haircut has made fans go feral!
