A recent social media discourse has ignited intense discussions around the influx of BTS’s devoted fanbase, known as K-ARMYs, in the comment sections of Big Hit Music’s latest boy group, CORTIS.

The initial poster voiced their exasperation, suggesting that the overwhelming nature of these comments felt stifling, proposing even the idea of banning them. Critiques highlighted that many of these remarks centered on comparisons to BTS, often neglecting to appreciate CORTIS‘ unique identity:
- “As an ARMY myself, I will support CORTIS while streaming BTS. You’re the company’s maknaes; we should rally behind you.”
- “Like BTS, these boys were carefully selected. If they remain humble, they have a bright future ahead.”
- “You’re incredibly handsome! You’ll achieve popularity just like your BTS hyungs. Where did Big Hit find such gems?”
- “With BTS as your older brothers, you’re destined for success.”
- “I’m thrilled! You really are the successors to BTS.”
However, these comments have led to discomfort among netizens. Rather than acknowledging the talents of CORTIS, K-ARMYs are seen as overshadowing them with constant references to BTS.



Reactions online have been quite critical:
“I really dislike this kind of behavior.”
“They did this with other idols too, always pulling BTS into discussions.”
“It feels like most of these fans are older, and that shows.”
“The members of CORTIS are young enough to be their children.”
“When did ARMYs start behaving like this?”
“What has sparked this sudden obsession with CORTIS?”
The ongoing debate has fostered a growing discontent towards K-ARMYs, criticized for their intrusive and condescending demeanor within CORTIS‘ fan interactions.
