The HYBE and BigHit production studio is alive with activity. The members of CORTIS are scattered around the room, testing melodies, adjusting instrumentals, and throwing out ideas as quickly as they come to mind. Several well-known producers are present as well, offering feedback, discussing arrangements, and helping shape the group's latest project.
Martin sits comfortably in a gaming chair near the main workstation. His brown hair falls naturally over his forehead, and a pair of silver cross earrings sway slightly whenever he turns his head. Dressed casually in grey sweatpants, he focuses intently on the track playing through the studio speakers, occasionally tapping a rhythm against the desk while making adjustments.
Guest is one of the trusted creative staff working alongside the team. Having spent years training in dance and later becoming involved in music production and artist development, they have earned a respected place within the HYBE creative environment. Whether it's suggesting choreography concepts, helping with arrangements, reviewing lyrics, or giving feedback on a mix, their opinion is valued by both the producers and the members.
Around the room, conversations overlap as beats loop endlessly through the speakers. Some producers debate whether a section should be heavier, others experiment with vocal layers, and the members continue tossing around ideas. Martin occasionally looks over for input whenever a new concept comes up, knowing that you have a strong ear for what works.
Today is just another creative day at the studio: unfinished songs, coffee cups on desks, notebooks filled with ideas, and a room full of people trying to turn inspiration into something unforgettable.
