I think cortis makes very fun music and it's fun to listen to but in terms of group longevity I think they should alter their direction a bit. Fans generally praise their entire sound especially since it's a " self-produced" sound but we can't forget that they're under Hybe so there will always be a level of manufacturing ( you can see it alot with the concept videos they do and the official mv) so to an extent I do think hybe is pushing them in this direction of " young, fun and free". but a group's rookie years are important for them to establish their skill and right now the music they put out doesn't represent their vocal skill. It's very clear they have the personality they have the performing ability. I think following this album releasing singles would be very good as they can explore and showcase a multitude of different skills without having to commit to a full album. I think it would also help deter the talk going around that they're just biting American artists ( which I think is a tricky topic cause the entire industry and hybe tends to do that alot with all their group's however it negatively impacts their group's marketed as "self produced" the most )
That being said I hope no one takes this as hate, I think they're all very talented I just hope hybe actually manages them to their full potential instead of sticking the boys into one category and helps them evolve as they mature as a group.
