For many artists, a tongue-tied mistake in the recording booth might end up on the cutting room floor.

For rising Korean group CORTIS, it became part of the brand.

The five-member act recently opened up about the unconventional lyrics and internet memes that have helped fuel its growing popularity, revealing that some of its most talked-about phrases were born from spontaneous freestyle sessions rather than careful planning.

CORTIS members Martin, Seonghyeon, Keonho, James and Juhoon appeared on KBS2 music talk show 'The Seasons: Sung Si-kyung's Music Companion' on Thursday, where they discussed their rapidly growing international fanbase and viral online presence.
