The group Cortiz shared its candid feelings about being labeled the ‘BTS junior group’.<\/p>\n
On the 10th, YouTube channel ‘TEO Theo’ released a video titled ‘Five Months Into Debut, Turning Red When Asked to Speak’.<\/p>\n
The video featured Martin and Gunho of Cortiz, who discussed their experiences since their debut.<\/p>\n
Host Jang Do-yeon remarked that Cortiz’s average age was 17, prompting Martin to reveal he was born in 2008 and Gunho in 2009, which surprised her.<\/p>\n
The group explained its appearance on ‘Salon Drip,’ stating, “Although this isn’t our promotional period, we’ve always wanted to be on this program.”<\/p>\n

Gunho shared that the group is currently preparing its second album, which Martin jokingly referred to as its “survival report.”<\/p>\n
Jang Do-yeon asked if the ‘BTS junior group’ title was burdensome at debut, despite the love and attention the group garnered.<\/p>\n
Martin admitted, “It’s true, it was a heavy burden. We listened to a lot of advice from our seniors and felt we had to succeed and perform just as well.”<\/p>\n

Gunho also mentioned a recent meeting with J-Hope, stating, “He treats us very casually, like younger siblings.”<\/p>\n
Martin added, “He even joked, ‘Martin, you’re not growing taller, are you?’ It felt like seeing an older cousin after a long time.”<\/p>\n
Cortiz, a five-member boy group, debuted last August under BigHit Music, gaining attention with the ‘BTS junior group’ title.<\/p>\n
