To my dearest,
I’m feeling a whirlwind of emotions again. It’s amazing how quickly a year has flown by - it feels like just yesterday I first knew you all as CORTIS, and gradually became a COER, ready to walk alongside you and support you on your musical journey.
I have so much love for my 5 boys; you’ve put in such tremendous effort from the very beginning, training ceaselessly for hours on end. Then, on August 18, 2025, I was officially introduced to CORTIS - it was quite a journey of hard work, and today’s success is something you truly DESERVE.
Thank you, Martin, for always carrying that intense love for music within you like in the beginning. Thank you, James, for not giving up on your dream because Trainee A disbanded. I'm grateful to Juhoon for transitioning from modeling to idolism. I'm always appreciative of Seonghyeon for always trying so hard and being so serious about his dream. And Keonho, the maknae of the group, I'm truly grateful for being a part of CORTIS, and for all of you who have gradually crept into my life.
In closing, I wish for CORTIS to remain strong and united for many years to come. Never feel that you aren't good enough, because you have already done an amazing job. You will always have fellow COER by your side, so keep shining brightly in true "COTL" style.
Always by your side, cherishing and loving you.
