A video involving rookie boy group CORTIS has gone viral online, sparking major concern for the group’s safety and privacy.
The clip, shared on Twitter and viewed more than 2 million times, was captioned: “a bunch of grown women recording minors getting dressed.”
In the video , several women, believed to be in their 20s and 30s, are seen peeking through a tent hole and recording with their phones while CORTIS members were changing clothes inside.
Towards the end of the video, member Martin notices the fans’ behavior and quickly retreats to the back. A security staff’s voice can also be heard ordering the women to move away.
The incident immediately drew backlash from fans and netizens, with many criticizing the disturbing behavior of these so-called fans.
Reactions ranged from anger to disgust, especially since CORTIS members are still minors, aged 15 to 17 years old.
Others pointed out the hypocrisy of some who criticize agencies like HYBE for being overly protective, yet overlook fans blatantly invading idols’ privacy.
The video has reignited debate about idol privacy and safety, especially for underage groups. Many are demanding stricter measures from management companies and venues to prevent similar incidents.
For now, fans are calling on authorities and agencies to take swift action, emphasizing that K-pop should remain about music—not about filming underage idols in vulnerable situations
