[DICON] CORTIS | D-PASS (CORTIS)
A relay interview where the five CORTIS members ask each other questions and share their answers.
🦒: James, how do you feel about joining D’FESTA for the first time?
🦅: I feel really good about it because I think we’ll have the opportunity to meet our fans in many different ways.
Q: What’s it like being the eldest member of the group?
🦅: First of all, even though I’m the eldest, there are still a lot of things I’m not that good at. But everyone treats each other like friends, so thanks to the younger members, I’ve been able to feel a lot more comfortable around them.
🦅: Juhoon, what did you focus on the most while preparing for today’s photoshoot?
🐢: I focused quite a lot on trying different poses, especially ones that feel free and natural.
Q: If you could say one thing to yourself before your debut, what would it be?
🐢: I think I’d just tell myself to keep doing as well as I’m doing now.
🐢: Seonghyeon, Is there anything you always bring with you to photoshoots?
🦊: I always carry lip balm with me. It’s something I use pretty often.
Q: What do you hope CORTIS will be like in five years?
🦊: I hope we’ll have grown even more and that we’ll still be a team that loves creating things and making the music we love.
🦊: Keonho, which do you find more difficult, photoshoots or performing on stage?
🐶: I think photoshoots are more difficult for me. Because honestly, when it comes to performing on stage, we practice every day, and we’re performing songs that we wrote ourselves. I’m still not completely used to photoshoots yet, but I think I’m gradually getting more comfortable with them.
Q: What’s one promise you want to make to COERs that you’ll definitely keep?
🐶: Even after 100 years, we’ll still be together.
🐶: Martin, do you have a signature pose that you always do during photoshoots?
🦒: (Strikes a punk rock pose.)
🦒: I’ve been gradually trying out poses that reflect the kind of style I’m drawn to and want to express.
Q: Martin, what do you think makes CORTIS uniquely CORTIS?
🦒: I think it’s because each of us has our own unique personality, and we’re all able to express who we are. When all those different personalities come together as one, it creates something even more distinctive, unique, and unlike anything else. I think that’s what makes us special.
Final Messages — D’FESTA
🐢: D’FESTA!
🦅: It has this kind of cute concept, but there’s also a stylish feel to it.
🦊: Since we’ve been given such a great opportunity to be part of this together, I think everyone will really enjoy it.
🦒: I believe COERs will really love it too.
🐶: Please look forward to CORTIS!

[261106] Summary of James's Weverse Live~~ 🦅💬
I really like this one because I LOVE movies a lot!!! So this is going to be a long one since he yaps A LOT. 😭😂 it's in order 🤓☝️
1. Firstttt, he said that since he just came back to Korea after a while, he's having a hard time adjusting to the time difference. Because of this, he's been kind of awake for a while since they arrived, and earlier today he woke up around 3–4 AM and really tried his best to go back to sleep, but he just couldn't, so he decided to give up and just ordered some food 😭😂
2. They've been really into fidget spinners lately, especially during song camp! He said that they play with them to relieve some stress during song camp, and apparently, Keonho is surprisingly talented when it comes to playing with fidget spinners. He also knows about clickers (keyboard fidget stress toys) but prefers fidget spinners since clickers can be a bit noisy.
3. He mentioned Kimi Antonelli winning the World Championship!! Also, Max and Lewis on the podium. 👏 He even mentioned that Kimi was the youngest ever to win it, which is so crazy, and congratulated him!! He even said that Kimi is onlh a year younger than him ( kimi is 2006) He then briefly talked about how the licenses F1 drivers have are different from ordinary driver's licenses.
4. Then he talked about his drivers license and he said not to expect him to get a driver's license anytime soon because he probably won't be getting one. 😂 The reason behind this is that he's self-aware and knows that he tends to get really sleepy easily, especially when sitting for so long doing nothing. So, he's made the decision not to get one because he thinks he would probably fall asleep while driving. He also said that he likes to go fast so that doesn't exactly help his case either. LMAO 😭
He then shared a story about how when he was younger like 10 yrs old(?) He would always go to the park with his grandfather and rent a bicycle to ride around the area super fast, like those in MotoGP. 💨💨 There was even a time when he had to apologize to the people at the park because he was riding his bicycle so fast. 😭He's also can be a bit of competitive and stubborn. For example, he said that if he were driving with his friends at the back and saw a yellow light, which means you should slow down and prepare to stop, there would be a voice at the back of his head telling him not to slow down. He'd be like, "Yellow light?? For me??? Are you challenging me??" And then he'd proceed to not follow the yellow light and go even FASTERRR KSKSKSS 😭😭😭 He then said, "What's wrong with not getting one anyway? Public transportation is good now." So he thinks it's okay not to get a driver's license (for now maybe) since he also remembers that Tablo sunbaenim doesn't have one either. 😭😂 You can still look cool without driving, after all.
BUTTT he said that he's really interested in go-karting and wants to try it~~ Like rally cars!! 🚘
5. He then talked about the shows he used to watch a lot when he was younger with his father. He mentioned Top Gear UK (he still binge-watches it nowadays, like when he's going to the gym and such), and he also mentioned watching Friends a lot when he was younger. A classic ✨️
6. He mentioned some movies that emotionally traumatized him as a kid too, like Bridge to Terabithia. 🥹 He watched it when he was young, and it really left a deep impression on him. He said he remembers feeling depressed for about 3–4 days after watching it. *Bridge to Terabithia follows two lonely fifth-grade outcasts who build a secret imaginary world to escape the hardships of their real lives. Prepare your tissues when you watch it. *🥹
Another movie that made him emotional is Monsters, Inc. 🥹🥹 He said that the final scene, where Sulley had to say goodbye to Boo, made him really sad when he was younger, to the point that he cried awee
