CORTIS’s agency issued an apology after a delayed departure on a Paris-to-Seoul
flight, while firmly rejecting several circulating allegations surrounding the
incident.
HYBE’s label Big Hit Music apologized on June 30, stating to Dispatch that it
“sincerely apologizes to passengers who were inconvenienced while using the same
flight as CORTIS.”
The controversy began on June 26, when a flight from Paris, France to Incheon,
South Korea departed later than scheduled. Reports suggested the delay was
caused by a late boarding involving a specific celebrity passenger, later
identified as CORTIS.
According to the agency, CORTIS had been attending Paris Fashion Week and was en
route to the airport when they encountered traffic congestion caused by an
accident, which contributed to their delayed arrival.
However, the agency strongly denied additional claims that have circulated
online. In particular, allegations that the group obstructed passenger movement
and changed outfits on a boarding bridge during a previous Japan departure were
described as false.
Claims that CORTIS had repeatedly been late for boarding on prior flights were
also refuted. The agency stated that during their May departure from Japan, the
group completed boarding before the check-in deadline.
Meanwhile, CORTIS is preparing for its first world tour following its debut. The
tour will kick off on July 18–19 at Inspire Arena in Incheon, South Korea.
