CORTIS and LNGSHOT Redefine K-pop Idol Norms

CORTIS and LNGSHOT, two rookie K-pop boy groups, are breaking traditional idol formulas by debuting with member-led music and choreography. CORTIS launched last September with the album "COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES" and LNGSHOT debuted in January with "SHOT CALLERS." Both prioritize individual personalities, spontaneity on social media, and collaborative production, generating fan engagement and stronger-than-expected chart performance.
