51-year-old actress Moon So Ri recently participated in an interview and shared about her unexpected feelings for the male group CORTIS.
Previously, she attracted attention at the 2025 AAA awards ceremony when she publicly mentioned the group in her acceptance speech: "CORTIS's stage is too great. I am really touched".
It turned out that it was not just a polite compliment. Moon So Ri was truly completely conquered by this Kpop rookie group.
Recalling the first time watching CORTIS perform live, she recounted: "I said to Uhm Ji Won, who was sitting next to me: "Oh my god, who are they? Who are those kids? Look at them quickly." I also remember saying that if I hadn't put on my evening gown at that time, I might have run straight out because I was too excited.
The moment of meeting CORTIS members directly in the waiting room also became an unforgettable memory for her. Moon So Ri said: "CORTIS came to the waiting room to greet, I was really surprised. The members were also surprised to hear that I liked them so much.
She continued to praise: "When meeting them directly, I saw that they are still very young. It's hard to believe that artists with such excellent skills have such innocent appearances and polite behavior.
When I learned that the youngest member was born in 2010, I was even more surprised. Being able to show such ability at such a young age really makes me admire".
The affection for CORTIS also lasts in Moon So Ri's daily life. She shared: "When taking magazine photos or dressing for works, I often listen to CORTIS' music.
If I look tired or lifeless, the makeup team will naturally turn on CORTIS music, and I will immediately get excited again. People around me also often say: "It's true that you have to turn on CORTIS music to have energy.
Recently, Moon So Ri also tried to hunt for concert tickets of the group like many other Kpop fans. She revealed: "I should have registered for membership beforehand, but because I was busy filming, I missed it. However, I still intended to try my luck at the regular ticket sales and even asked company staff for help.
The actress humorously recounted that she asked her daughter to help her, but the little girl said: "Mom, ticket hunting is not thanks to God's help, but thanks to quick fingers.
Moon So Ri also sent words of encouragement to CORTIS: "This album goes in an unexpected direction, so it's even more interesting. I hope you will continue to bring music products that exceed the expectations of fans. You are still young and creative, so please continue the bold challenges as they are now".
