Cortis Martin showcases variety skills and fashion show charm on 'Radio Star'... Embarks on North America tour

Cortis member Martin appeared on a terrestrial variety show for the first time since his debut, showcasing various charms. Martin appeared on MBC’s ’Radio Star’ on the special episode titled ’Between Fᅢshion and Pᅢshion, I am so hip~’ on the 5th, revealing his natural talk skills and sense of entertainment. He caught attention by greeting with a 90-degree bow and saying, ″It’s time to start the ’Martin Boom.’″ Martin also displayed his fashion sense, which has been noted before, on the show. He had a conversation with actor Choi Won-young about vintage fashion, swapped their remodeled clothes, and held an impromptu fashion show. Additionally, he made MC Yoo Se-yoon laugh by demonstrating the ’sagging fashion’ of wearing pants low. Recalling his experience attending the Paris Men’s Fashion Week in France last July, Martin said, ″I liked that the clothes fit perfectly.″ He showed off his dance skills by performing the intro track ″Go!″ from his debut album and the title track ″Red Red″ from his second mini-album challenge stage. Contrary to his charismatic stage presence, Martin showed a new vocal tone by singing Jannabi’s ″For Hesitant Lovers″ in a straightforward manner. This was a different side from the intense performances he recently showed on tour stages and at the American music festival ’Lollapalooza Chicago.’ The broadcast also mentioned Cortis’s song production method. Martin explained about producing ″Red Red,″ saying, ″I mainly participated in working on the melody line and wrote the entire first verse lyrics,″ adding, ″The five members put their heads together and create as if one person is working on it.″ Cortis started their North American tour, ″2026 Cortis Tour ’Put Your Phone Down’ in North America,″ on the 4th (local time) in Toronto, Canada. The tour continues until the 16th in six North American cities including New York and San Francisco. Then, from the 22nd to the 23rd, they plan to hold a Seoul concert ″Birthday Party″ at Korea University Hwajeong Gymnasium to celebrate their first anniversary since debut.
