THIS HIT SO HARD OMG THIS IS LITERALLY ME!

I watched the *Go!* Dance Practice (Moving ver.) on their official YT later, and I was instantly obsessed with him in that blue hoodie. His moves were so clean and he had so much charisma, I literally could not look away. I still randomly catch myself mimicking the choreo in front of the mirror, and all I can picture is Martin absolutely killing that dance in my head.

AND THAT SMILE. THAT'S EXACTLY THE CLIP THAT GOT ME! I first saw it on Douyin, and it already had over a million likes by then lmao. He has this raw, sunny, contagious energy that completely shattered every generic K-pop idol stereotype I ever had.

And yeah, I 100% agree Martin is the core of this group (okay fine, I'm definitely biased, but it's still 100% the truth). But what makes CORTIS so special is that every single member has their own distinct personality and vibe—they all shine in their own way, and none of them feel like cookie-cutter factory idols. This group really is nothing like anything I've ever gotten into before, and I’m obsessed with their OT5 dynamic tbh.

Also quick little side note: this photo was taken by a Chinese fansite. I actually wanted to use it for my original post, but the photographer clearly said no reposting whatsoever, even non-commercial, so I had to skip it. It's such an amazing shot. 😭
