Martin, a member of CORTIS, appeared on the MBC variety show ″Radio Star″ aired on August 5th and shared various stories. On the broadcast, Martin, a member of CORTIS who is gaining great popularity among 5th generation idols, revealed that they achieved 100 million views within 34 days of debut and their second album reached 100 million streams in 15 days. Martin disclosed his age by saying, ″I was born in 2008,″ and mentioned that this was his first appearance on a terrestrial variety show. He said, ″This is the first time I’m appearing without the other members. The one who speaks relatively well suggested that I go.″ Regarding the phrase ″Youngkkk″ popularized by CORTIS, Martin explained that during their debut showcase, when a reporter asked, he answered ″Young Creator Crew,″ which later got shortened to ″Youngkkk.″ He added, ″At the showcase, a reporter asked us to explain about ourselves, so I said ’Young Creator Crew.’ The reporters then abbreviated it to ’Youngkkk’.″ He also clarified that the term ″Oldkkk″ was not created by CORTIS. Choi Won-young, Lee Tae-ran, and Ba-da revealed they are fans of Martin and welcomed him warmly. Lee Tae-ran enjoyed a fun time dancing the ″Youngkkk Challenge″ with Martin, and Ba-da said, ″Martin is the most handsome.″ About his role in the team, Martin explained, ″Actually, our team doesn’t have specific roles. All the members compose and write lyrics. We usually brainstorm together.″ He mentioned that there are many disagreements and fights. Martin said, ″We work as a team, but sometimes we work individually,″ and revealed that he participated in composing songs such as Aileat’s ″Magnetic″ and Tomorrow X Together (TXT)’s ″Déjà Vu.″ He also mentioned his involvement in Enhypen and LE SSERAFIM songs. Regarding copyright distribution, Martin said, ″Since it’s business, each person’s credits are clearly secured. Sometimes we look out for each other. We have to be objective.″ He explained that when five people work on lyrics together, even words like particles can cause differing opinions. For example, if ″Because it’s so funny″ is replaced with ″Because it’s so funny,″ the member who suggested the syllable ″thing″ gets a share. He added that this is not always the case. Martin disclosed his share in his song ″REDRED,″ saying, ″I participated a lot in the melody line and wrote the entire first verse (intro).″ He also specifically explained that ″Dogani″ has shares belonging to Geonho, ″Palang-gwi″ to Seonghyeon, ″Gungdengi″ to Juhun or Seonghyeon, and ″Neomeoga Ultari″ belongs to him. Martin expressed envy of Eom Seonghyeon and Ahn Geonho’s popularity and conveyed his determination, saying, ″I want to bring the Martin boom.″
