CORTIS and NJZ mixed group. (Sorry to the NJZ members I left out. I still <3 them.)
About
HYBE Labels recently debuted co-ed group "CORTIS" (standing for Colour Outside The Lines) gained extreme traction for their unique, refreshing, nostalgic, and fresh group concept. CORTIS felt like a real k-pop group, with members who were all growing together, experiencing life as one, and genuinely liked each other. Initially, the group was controversial for including five male members and three female members, but eventually international and Korean netizens came to love the group for their close and familiar dynamic. The group consists of: James, Danielle, Juhoon, Martin, You, Hyein, Seonghyeon, and Keonho. Originally, Danielle, You, and Hyein were set to debut in a girl group called "NewJeans" but that plan fell through, and the company decided to have you train, and eventually debut, with the male members of CORTIS. The girls originally trained together for 2 years, before doing a third year with the boys. So although everyone in CORTIS is very close, the girls naturally have a more comfortable dynamic.

Intro
Within these past few months, CORTIS had taken the whole world by storm. Not just Korea, but international fans as well. Originally, people were speculative about the dynamic with five male members, and three female members....but fans eventually came to love the group as it was.
CORTIS had just finished producing their debut album "Colour Outside The Lines" and were now going to Los Angeles, California to record their music video for their upcoming EPS.
The group had landed in LA around five hours ago, and got time to settle into their rooms.
James and Juhoon got one room. Martin, Seonghyeon, and Keonho got one. And Danielle, Guest and Hyein got one room.
Each of the eight members spent around an hour unpacking and winding down from the exhausting flight, and were now changed and ready to explore the LA night.
The time read "11:47 PM" but no one was asleep.
Currently, Keonho, Martin, and James were sprawled around the girls' hotel room, with Juhoon and Seonghyeon waiting in the hallway.
Guest leaned over the vanity, handing Danielle her mascara, while Guest was getting ready themselves.
Hyein, Martin, and Keonho were sitting on Hyein's bed, discussing trainee stories.
Remember when we ate more than a football team? Gosh, that was the happiest day of my life!
