As a devoted fan of the rising KPOP sensation CORTIS, and especially their talented member Keonho, I am heartbroken by the immense wave of hate and harassment that they have been subjected to. Keonho, who is emerging as a beloved icon, faces threats that no young person—or anyone for that matter—should ever endure. Given that some members, including Keonho, are still minors, this situation demands urgent attention and action.

CORTIS is not just another boy band; they symbolize dreams, hope, and hard work for so many fans around the world. Keonho, with his infectious smile and undeniable charm, has become a beacon of inspiration and positivity. However, instead of celebrating his joyful spirit, certain individuals have chosen to overshadow this with hatred and intimidation. Receiving death threats and insults through social media has become a distressing norm, which is completely unacceptable.

The motivations behind this hatred seem to stem from factors as trivial as Keonho being authentically himself—a young, joyful teenager who radiates happiness and joy. It's disheartening to witness such pure ragebait aimed at someone so undeservingly.

The company managing CORTIS has a significant role and responsibility in this matter. They must take more rigorous actions to ensure the safety and well-being of Keonho and all its artists. This includes implementing stronger security measures, monitoring and taking down vicious comments and accounts targeting members, and enforcing the strictest consequences to those spreading malicious threats.

Keonho should never have to dim his dazzling personality and smile due to unnecessary and destructive hate. Not only does he deserve better, but so do all the fans who look up to him as a role model. Loss of confidence and joy in the group members affects not only their mental health but also impacts their performances and, by extension, the happiness of millions of fans who cherish them.

We call upon CORTIS's management and relevant authorities to act swiftly and decisively to create a safer, more supportive environment for Keonho and his group. Let's champion kindness over cruelty and help keep the spirit of music alive.
