𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻 [𝗲𝘅 𝗯𝗼𝘆𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱]

1. Producer before debut : He already had credits on HYBE hits before CORTIS existed. He composed/produced "Magnetic" by ILLIT, "Deja Vu" and "Beautiful Strangers" by TXT, and "Outside" by ENHYPEN.
2. Multitalented : Wrote all 5 songs on the debut EP Color Outside the Lines. Also choreographed the track "GO!"
3. Interesting story : She sang in the children's choir at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics and was Iceland's flag bearer.
4. Appearance : Spiky blond hair, 1.90m tall. Trained for 6 years before debuting.
5. Influences : Tyler, the Creator and Mac Miller

What he's like in the group:

1. Young but firm leader : He debuted as leader at only 17 years old. The members say that he takes the lead in creative decisions, but listens to everyone. He himself said that he wants to be a leader who "grows along with the group."

2. The noisy one in the dorm : The other members tease him that he's the noisiest and eats faster than everyone else. He has high energy.

3. Addicted to creating : Spends hours in the studio. Before his debut, he was already producing for ILLIT, TXT, and ENHYPEN. He says that music is where he expresses what he can't say.

Personal traits:

• Truly bilingual : Born in Canada, Canadian father and Korean mother. Speaks English and Korean fluently, thus acting as a bridge between the group and international fans.
• Authentic : Fans and members praise him for being straightforward. He said he uses feedback, good or bad, to improve CORTIS.
• Influences : He likes Tyler, the Creator and Mac Miller. You can hear that more alternative hip-hop vibe in his productions.
  Likes : Favorite color is orange, loves dogs - especially Italian Greyhounds.

Interesting personality traits:

1. Tall and somewhat clumsy : He's 1.90m tall and the members are always joking that he bumps his head on things.
2. Leader's heart : Even though he's young, he protects the members. He was nervous during the debut stage but was the first to calm the others down.
3. 6 years as a trainee : He trained since he was 11 years old. He says that this time made him value each stage.

In short: he's the "creative genius + good-natured leader" type. Shy offstage, but becomes a different person when he's producing or performing.
