The group's appearance quickly attracted the attention of the audience at the stadium as well as online fans, contributing to turning the sports event into a colorful entertainment stage.
In the main performance in the middle of the round, CORTIS turned the basketball court into a magnificent music stage with two songs "GO!" and "FaSHioN". With a strong performance style, even choreography and confident stage presence, the group made the atmosphere of the stadium heat up in just a few minutes. The overwhelming lighting and sound effects along with the cheers of the audience created an impressive combination of sports and music, true to the spirit of high-entertainment NBA events.
Many viewers assessed that CORTIS's performance was full of rookie colors but full of potential, showing investment in both image and performance skills. The members showed good interaction with the audience, constantly stirring up the atmosphere with decisive movements and confident demeanor. Thanks to that, the half-time performance was not just a break but became a memorable highlight of the match.
Earlier in the day, CORTIS also participated in a series of side activities of the "NBA Crossover" series with a short performance. Here, the group brought a series of songs including "What You Want", "Joy Ride", the soundtrack song "Mention Me" from the new animated movie "GOAT", and a completely new unreleased song called "YOUNGCREATORCREW". The introduction of the new song within the framework of the international event is considered a strategic step, helping the group reach a wider audience globally.
CORTIS's presence at a major sporting event like the NBA Ruffles All-Star Friendly Match shows the increasing appeal of K-Pop in the international market. In recent years, the NBA has regularly invited famous artists to perform to expand the young audience and increase the entertainment value of the matches, and CORTIS is one of the rare rookies to be given this opportunity.
After the exciting half-time performance, the match continued to be dramatic until the last minute, with a 65-58 victory for Giannis Team against Anthony Team. However, besides professional results, CORTIS's performance is still one of the moments mentioned a lot on social networks, receiving many positive feedbacks from fans.
CORTIS is also preparing for its first return expected in April.
