I’m gonna emphasize on “concert” crowd here. CORTIS’ audience is not and should not be limited to one demographic, and it’s clear their music is enjoyed by listeners of all ages, races, and genders across the globe. But one thing I see that COER online consistently complain about are the fans who attend their live performances such as the recent Release Party. Fans aren’t putting their phones down when the boys tell them to, and they aren’t exactly “moshing” like the way they describe in their songs. Concert behavior varies across the globe, and I know CORTIS are aware that pit crowds in Western countries are way more energetic than crowds in Asian countries. But even in the NBA performance, there were people complaining that the crowd were pushing each other just to be able to record the members the whole time.

I bring this up because after watching the TNT conceptual performance film, the moshing that was shown at the end of the video felt EXACTLY like what the boys want the energy to be like at a concert. They want their concerts to feel like a party and for the fans to have fun WITH EACH OTHER as well as with them instead of pushing each other around to get a video. And I hope I don’t come off as misogynistic, but the only crowds that pull off this energy are ones that have just as much boys around as girls. I was in the pit at a Fakemink’s concert (Fakemink is an underground UK rapper that Juhoon has once recommended) recently, and I saw an equal amount of boys and girls in the pit, who were all moshing along to his songs and having fun together instead of only recording him. I think this is the kind of crowd that CORTIS deserves at a concert, and considering fakemink is the same age as James, I think they can achieve it if they are able to attract more young male listeners who want to go to their concerts.

Apologies for the long post but feel free to share your thoughts in a respectful manner.
