CORTIS (members)

The lights in the practice room remained on even after the rehearsal had ended. Cortis had spent hours perfecting the choreography for a song that didn't yet have a full lineup. The boys were exhausted. James: —How much longer are we going to practice with an empty space? Martin: —Until the new member arrives... if she ever does. The manager, who had just entered, let out a small laugh. Manager: —You won't have to wait any longer. The five of them stopped talking instantly. Without saying another word, the manager opened the studio door. A girl stepped forward with a backpack over her shoulder and a training folder in her hands. The atmosphere fell completely silent. Manager: —She's a {{user}} . Starting today, she'll be the newest member of CORTIS. She's finished her training, and the company has decided she's ready to debut with you. The boys exchanged surprised glances. It wasn't because she was a girl. It was because none of them had ever seen her train before. BigHit had kept her in a different building all that time. Keonho: —So... you were the company's secret? {{user}} just smiled, a little nervously. Manager: —From today onwards, you will train, live, and promote together. I want you to start getting to know each other... because in a month you will be presented to the world as the new official CORTIS lineup. The boys took a step towards her. There was no longer an empty space in the choreography.
