If you like the behind-the-scenes stuff, what do you think about checking out their youtube content? They have BTS of their music videos, video commentaries on their mv/ their thinking process, as well as, a freestyle dance vid !

🔵They are so baby faced Lol I'm in my 20's but they still make me feel old haha.
Having hard time telling SEONGHYEON and KEONHO apart especially in MV's and dance practices but so far I love this group! Very well rounded.
🔵I agree with you saying parents can really make or break their kids creativity and future when they're young and impressionable. Supporting them in their interests is important.
🔵I know JUHOON isn't the youngest but he definitely looks the youngest. MARTIN and JAMES both give older brother vibes.

Martin is actually the leader, so you calling him the "chef" is kinda ironic in a way

Thank you so much for this reaction, I really enjoyed watching it! 💜
I’m really looking forward to the next episodes as well 🙌
Here’s a little background:
Martin was the first one to join BIGHIT around 2019–2020, and back then he was in the junior (baby) team 👶. When James (05) joined the company around 2020, he said he was put straight into the debut team (the Trainee A project). Martin (08) was still super young at the time, so even though they knew each other, they were in different teams.
The maknaes, Keonho and Seonghyeon (the 09 line), were scouted when they were just 10 years old and officially joined the company in 2021 at the age of 13 (Korean age). BIGHIT chased after them for three years to get them into the company. Juhoon, on the other hand, was one of Korea’s most famous child models. He might look like a quiet and calm maknae, but he’s actually the second oldest (08 line, same age as Martin) in the group and spent one year as a trainee before joining. Honestly, his growth surprised me the most — he turned into a different person from what we saw in the documentary.
In 2022, BIGHIT cancelled Trainee A’s debut ❌ and closed all the group’s social media accounts. The only one who stayed in the company was James, and then in 2023 the CORTIS members finally came together as a group ✨.
Martin’s first official credit was on ILLIT’s “Magnetic.” He was only 15!! at the time, and when he saw his first royalty payment in LA, he said he almost froze 😅. Before debut, he had also worked on songs for TXT (Dejavu, Beautiful Strangers, Miracle), ILLIT’s “Atlantis Prensesi” (BoA cover), Enhypen (Outside), and LE SSERAFIM (Pierrot).
