CORTIS begins North American tour with performances and local food in Toronto

The group CORTIS has launched their North American tour in Toronto, where members focused on refining choreography and stage communication while enjoying a massive burger and poutine for their first meal in Canada.

The group CORTIS has begun the full journey of their North American tour. Centered around performance venues in Toronto, the start of this tour has been filled not only with stage performances but also with the members' daily lives in the local area and tense conversations as they prepare for their shows.

"No joke" — CORTIS uses Korean expressions while preparing for Toronto performance

While carrying out their tour schedule in Toronto, CORTIS coordinated the atmosphere on-site by working on their chemistry ahead of the performance. The members focused on increasing the quality of the show by having in-depth discussions regarding stage production and the messages they would deliver to the audience during the performance. In particular, during the process of matching choreography timing, the members showed their determination to not miss even the smallest details by checking each other's movements.

Discussions continued regarding their communication methods on stage. Regarding the composition of comments during the intro section and ways to induce audience response, the members shared opinions on whether to guide the crowd using only hand gestures without comments or to request that the audience sing along. Their deliberations revealed a search for the optimal point to connect with the audience without breaking the flow of the performance.

To communicate with local fans, they also utilized Korean expressions. The members mentioned Korean phrases such as "jangnan eopda" (no joke) and "bogi jota" (looks good), showing an attempt to approach the audience familiarly on stage. This is interpreted as the members' intention to naturally incorporate Korean colors even during the North American tour.

First meal in Canada is a '10,000-calorie' burger, searching for the taste of Toronto

After spending busy times preparing for the performance, CORTIS enjoyed the local atmosphere through their first meal in Toronto. The menu chosen by the members consisted of burgers boasting overwhelming visuals and poutine, a representative food of Canada.

The members conveyed their strong impression of the local food by mentioning the massive calories of the menu. In particular, after tasting the burgers, the members evaluated the taste based on how "juicy" the food was, sharing a popular Toronto feel that was different from the taste they experienced in New York. During the subsequent tasting of poutine, they expressed satisfaction with the combination of cheese and potatoes while enjoying their first meal of the Canada tour.

This tour is evolving beyond simple performances into a process where the members experience local culture and strengthen teamwork in an unfamiliar environment. Attention is focused on what kind of records the North American journey of CORTIS, starting with the schedule in Toronto, will leave behind.
