HYBE’s New Group Visuals Take A Turn Among K-Netizens

Recently, HYBE’s newest boy group, CORTIS, dropped their first song online and received an explosive response.

Being the first new group to debut from BIGHIT MUSIC since 2019, attention was drawn to their pre-release track, “GO!”

While the group was initially praised for its visuals and talent, netizens seem to have taken a turn regarding its “visual center” member.

Most recently, online community posts regarding member Keonho received much backlash from K-Netizens.

While many felt that he fit right in with the HYBE aesthetic, looking similar to ENHYPEN’s Sunghoon and BOYNEXTDOOR’s Taesan, netizens didn’t think so.

• “His face is serving nothing. Why are there no good-looking guys these days.”
• “He’s so dark and short with horrible proportions.”
• “Bad proportions and short height…”
• “What do you mean Cha Eunwoo look-alike?”
• “Are you all serious?”
• “I was anticipating their debut, but now I don’t know.”
