Members of rookie K-Pop group CORTIS reportedly faced harassment while performing during a busking event near the Han River. According to posts circulating online, the group was holding a surprise outdoor performance when a group of men who had tuned in while passing by allegedly began disrupting the event.
Witnesses claimed the men attempted to throw objects toward CORTIS and shouted insults during the performance. One comment that spread widely online alleged that the men yelled at member Keonho, saying he “wasn’t all that” while shouting aggressively toward the stage.

그리고 씨발한남들이 안건호 너 그정도 아니야!!

I got a call from my moot that CORTIS was having a performance at the Han river and in the background, hannams (deragatory term for Korean men) who were passing by try to throw things at them and these f*cking hannams were shouting at Ahn Keonho “You’re not all that!” F*ck.

Many criticized the behavior of these men.
korean men & men in general are so fucking insecure when it comes to idols.. like the amount of times they go out their ways to hurl insults towards celebrities all because their fragile ego is hurt is insane. keonho still being a minor to scream at him like that is odd 🫤 https://t.co/yzkryDsKsq

Keonho, who was born in 2009, is still a minor. Netizens accuse these men of jealousy and inferiority complex towards Keonho.
grown ass men bullying and throwing things at a group with mostly minors bc of their inferiority complex. this is sickening https://t.co/0tV5G5uRVu
