Keonho from HYBE’s rookie group CORTIS is blowing up online for his visuals—before debut.
The 2009-born youngest member is already labeled the “visual center,” thanks to his height, sharp features, and balanced look. Fansites are already tracking him pre-debut.
CORTIS is set to debut on August 18 under BIGHIT MUSIC with five members total. Netizens say he stands out even among HYBE’s polished lineup.
Some are comparing him to top visual icons like ASTRO’s Cha Eunwoo and actor Kim Jihoon. Many can’t believe he’s a first-year high school student because of his mature appearance.
“Even if you lined up every SM male idol in history, he’d still be the best-looking.”
“Out of all 4th and 5th gen male idols, he’s the most handsome.”
“The fact that he’s 12 years younger than Cha Eunwoo is honestly shocking. He’s a first-year in high school, but looks so mature. And yes, he’s definitely handsome.”
“He really does look like Cha Eunwoo.”
“He looks like a mix between Cha Eunwoo and Kim Jihoon.”
Fans are already hyped for CORTIS’s official debut, expecting a strong start in the competitive 5th generation K-pop scene.
