James of CORTIS Faces Backlash Over Alleged Veneer Procedure
James, member of HYBE’s rookie boy group CORTIS, is under fire after netizens noticed his teeth looking different—and uncomfortable—in the group’s recent Japanese introduction video.
Fans quickly speculated James got veneers, sparking anger and sadness online. Many insist he was fine without any work done.
The controversy follows similar criticism towards members of HYBE’s boy group ILLIT, who faced backlash for allegedly getting veneers despite their young age.
Netizens label the dental work a “HYBE thing,” pointing out multiple idols under the company have reportedly gotten veneers.
The reactions on Twitter show the frustration clearly:
m:
“they gave james veneers i’m crashing out “
nicole⁷:
“i’m sorry but i refuse to accept how they made james get those veneers when he’s literally just perfectly so fine before”
keima:
“Wth did they do to James’ teeth I’m pissed off”
mal¹²:
“hybe needs to burn cuz james saying “cortish desh da” thru them fresh ass veneers is insane”
☻:
“who the fuck thought james needed veneers? it’s so fucking distracting”
Flo | BTS⁷:
“BIGHIT PLEASE TAKE OUT THAT VENEERS FROM JAMES BCS HE ALREADY BEAUTIFUL SINCE DAY ONE.”
This comes amid ongoing debate over cosmetic procedures in K-pop, especially with younger idols. The impact on original teeth and the unnatural look right after a veneer procedure fuel the controversy.
Fans are watching closely as the situation unfolds. HYBE has yet to officially comment.
