CORTIS’s Leader Swipes His Card For Everyone, Triggers Divided Reactions

Rookie fifth-gen idol group CORTIS, who debuted last August, garnered much attention for their recent big purchase.

In the video, the members are waiting to check out, but when the cashier asks who is going to pay, everyone looks at one person.

Cashier: The total comes out to $4959.67. You’re paying? Who’s paying?

Martin: I think I gotta pay.

Cashier: You got it?

When changing the currency to Korean won, he was paying 7,303,615 KRW for shoes.

Looking at the breakdown of the receipt, it seemed to go over three pages.

However, given how many songs he has worked on, many agreed he had insane royalties.

However, netizens were divided on if he actually did pay for it.

• “Anyone can see that it’s the company card.”
• “I can see why he should be paying.”
• “At first, I thought it was the company card too, but seeing he bought all the equipment for his studio…I thought the company paid for it, but seeing his royalties, I understand now.”
• “I thought they were just acting.”
• “For real?”
• “I thought they were just role-playing.”
