Rookie boy group CORTIS stole the attention with their surprise performance at BMO Stadium, Los Angeles, United States, which is the home of the LAFC football club, where South Korean star Son Heung Min plays.
On October 5, 2025, CORTIS was officially invited to perform at LAFC's home match against Atlanta United in the 2025 Major League Soccer (MLS) regular season. The CORTIS members looked stunning wearing LAFC uniforms bearing Son Heung Min's name and number, drawing the attention of the audience.
They became the first Korean artists to be named Honorary Falconers, a ceremonial tradition at LAFC that has previously been honored by celebrities such as actor Will Ferrell and singer Meghan Trainor. In this role, CORTIS released the eagle, the team's mascot, to signal the start of the match.
Their performance received significant attention from local and international media. "CORTIS brings back great memories for themselves and positive energy for the LAFC players," said one commentator. "We're witnessing an incredible collaboration between a Korean icon and LAFC," added another.
LAFC managed to win the match with a narrow score of 1-0, achieving their fifth consecutive victory, and CORTIS was nicknamed the “victory fairy” by sports fans on social media, creating a wave of discussion in the online world. Previously, CORTIS had also made a lasting impression on American baseball fans.
Their song, "GO!", was selected as part of the promotional video for the 2025 Major League Baseball (MLB) postseason. The video aired across multiple platforms, including television, radio, social media, and stadium screens, expanding their popularity in America.
Despite completing promotions for their debut album, CORTIS continues to be inundated with offers in America. As part of a partnership with energy drink brand Red Bull, the group will attend the Red Bull Dance Your Style World Final in Los Angeles on October 11, 2025, to watch the dance competition.
This marks Red Bull's first collaboration with a K-pop artist. Not only that, on October 12, 2025, CORTIS will hold a "GO! Dance Workshop", where they will teach fans the choreography of the song 'GO!' created directly by the members.
