On June 28, BTS’ Jungkook held a live broadcast on Weverse, spending a relaxing time with ARMY while listening to and sharing some of his favorite songs.
During the stream, Jungkook unexpectedly mentioned CORTIS, the rookie boy group under BIGHIT MUSIC, drawing attention from fans. In particular, his heartfelt compliments toward member Keonho quickly became a hot topic online.
Jungkook: “Keonho from CORTIS is really handsome”
While chatting with fans, Jungkook suddenly brought up CORTIS member Keonho.
“Keonho from CORTIS… he’s really handsome.”
He then recalled seeing a photo of Keonho that reminded him of legendary Japanese singer-songwriter Yutaka Ozaki.
According to Jungkook, Keonho was wearing a white T-shirt with a beige jacket in the photo, giving off a similar vibe to one of Ozaki’s famous stage looks.
Rather than saying they looked exactly alike, Jungkook seemed to be referring to the atmosphere and charisma that the two shared.
Jungkook couldn’t stop complimenting Keonho
As he continued talking, Jungkook repeatedly described Keonho as “really handsome,” making it clear how impressed he was by the rookie idol’s visuals.
His comments weren’t just about appearance—they reflected the warm support of a senior artist cheering on a younger labelmate.
Fans reacted positively on social media, leaving comments such as:
- “Getting praised by Jungkook is incredible!”
- “The relationship between BIGHIT seniors and juniors is so wholesome.”
- “Keonho must be so happy to hear this.”
He also cheered on CORTIS and TXT
Before moving on, Jungkook also shared kind words about the younger artists at BIGHIT MUSIC.
He said that both CORTIS and TXT are doing well, adding that everyone is talented and good-looking, and that he genuinely likes and supports them.
His casual yet sincere comments highlighted the close bond among artists under the same label.
Fans loved seeing the warm BIGHIT family atmosphere
Although BTS are now global superstars, the members have often shown support for their juniors over the years.
Jungkook’s spontaneous praise for Keonho and his encouraging words for both CORTIS and TXT gave fans another glimpse of the warm relationship within BIGHIT MUSIC.
For CORTIS, who recently debuted, receiving such heartfelt compliments from one of K-pop’s biggest stars is undoubtedly a meaningful moment—and fans are already looking forward to seeing more interactions between BTS and CORTIS in the future.
