CORTIS
On August 18, CORTIS returned to Korea following their overseas schedules.
When videos of the arrival were shared, netizens were shocked at how crazy the scenes were, with huge crowds running towards the members and crowding them in. The security seemed to be struggling to contain the fans to protect the group as the screams and bodies got nearer to the members.

going to the airport just to chase after idols knowing damn well they’re alr exhausted from a multi-city tour and just endured a brutal 12-hour flight is beyond fangirling. that’s pure desperation & borderline stalker behavior. when is this gonna end? pic.twitter.com/bKpzzcM90U

Some also thought that some of the members showed their reactions to the chaos, especially James and Keonho.
JAMES and KEONHO reaction is exactly showing what you guys are doing to them 😑
Other boys didn’t showed it doesn’t mean they are okay with it
I don’t know when they will learn the basic etiquettes… pic.twitter.com/iuVEOGwjHn

look at James shaking his head because people started getting closer and trying to mob the boys and luckily there were a lot of bodyguards forming a barrier so there was no chance for these weirdos to get close to the members pic.twitter.com/b0XMStOfZV
