[OSENWORLD] CORTIS, BigHit Music’s rookie boy group, is breaking boundaries with a bold sound and performance that mark their arrival on the global stage.
On August 26, the five-member group — Martin, James, Juhoon, Seonghyeon, and Geonho — unveiled a special Store Link Live performance video for GO!, the intro track from their debut album Color Outside the Lines, via the YouTube channel GOGOSING.
Framed within the unique concept of a storefront space, the performance embodies the track’s message: CORTIS’ ambition to “paint the world in their own colors.” With minimal trap beats and sharp synthesizers driving the sound, the urban setting amplified the track’s intensity, creating an immersive experience for viewers.

The five members showcased free-flowing grooves and dynamic camera movements, perfectly matching the hybrid sound that blends hip-hop and pop. The combination of live vocals, explosive energy, and distinct individual performances highlighted the team’s identity as a self-styled “young creative crew.”
Immediately after the video dropped, fans flooded online platforms with praise:
“Unbelievable immersion for a rookie group,”
“Only a Store Link Live could create this kind of mood,”
“Perfect synergy between sound and performance,”
“They’re really breaking the boundaries between hip-hop and pop.”
CORTIS has been gaining attention for their unique approach as all five members actively contribute to songwriting, choreography, and video production. With Store Link Live as their latest showcase, the group plans to release additional creative content leading up to the official release of Color Outside the Lines on September 8.
